Couldn't agree more about Qatar Terry. I'd never heard of it until this week (?)

A bit like the F1 I suppose - money talks (especially when a proportion of it ends up .... self censored...)

Cricket:

You could always pray for rain Terry (works for us sometimes)

I think my prayers have been answered mate!

I hear the rain came...

... but a little too late

Still, hit the heady heights of -1°C here yesterday and I managed to get out on my bike, albeit with so many layers that I could hardly bend my legs!

Well done Steve, I'm developing more respect for my British cousins as each day goes by, our cricket team is rubbish and I wouldn't ride any of my bikes for the last few months because I didn't want to risk getting them wet, even when the temps were much warmer than you're experiencing. I blame bottled water for all this, there must be something in it that's turned us all into poofs!

It's my Sprint that I ride Terry - I wouldn't go out on our corrosive roads with all that chrome! Give me plastic panels, fuel injection and heated grips any day!

Who mentioned the cricket?

Was listening to 5live sports xtra at 1.30 this morning boy didn't it feel good. C'mon England.

Me too.

Too many sleepless nights. I'm a wreck.

The Aussie Cricket Team needs rootin, shootin and electrocutin.

It'll do 'em the world of good to stare down the wrong end of the barrel for a while.

Ha ha, that's the problem with the Rocket III Steve, it's so bloody big it takes all day to clean after a decent ride. I'm a rider, not a polisher, but I'd feel guilty if I treated it as bad as I do my CB750's!

Cricket was quite boring when we were winning everything and crowds were way down, at least now its is more interesting, for a while anyway....

...think it'll stay interesting too. KP up for another double ton?; and not in that car he was posing in!

Looks like the boys have dropped the ball on the cricket feild,
but they can still catch it on the footy field.

From the BBC News website:

For the second Test in a row Strauss' bowlers tore through Australia's top order in the first hour of the match, retained their composure through a middle-order rally, and bowled them out for less than 300 inside the first day.

Now I have to stay up until 11pm tonight to catch the highlights...

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #389 on:** December 16, 2010, 11:39:23 PM »

Don't look now Steve, but England's all out for 187. Don't stay up late mate, get an early night instead..............

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #390 on:** December 17, 2010, 02:45:28 AM »

A good show by the Aussies (at last)

Play has just finished, England is 5/81 chasing 391, jeez, for the first time in the series, I'm excited!

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #393 on:** December 18, 2010, 07:23:36 PM »

England's all out for 123, what a turnaround!

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #394 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:42:11 AM »

Mick - that "knee-on-the-ground" stance looks good.

Terry - you guys played well and we were crap (2nd Test but reversed roles)
It just goes to show that the two teams are a lot closer than we thought.

Roll on Boxing Day (or very late Christmas Day as it will be here...)
