I'm working on getting cricket on TV, but haven't got it yet; what service are you getting it on? Some good stuff on the Sri Lanka/Pakistan series, too; I always like watching Sri Lanka... they're good, keen, and sporting, unlike many teams these days.

I must admit, Nookiebear, I was expecting you to tell me that was why I needed so much beer!!!

I get it on SuperSport2 from South Africa,The SL/Pak was also shown,I think is was on SS4 or 5.Sri Lanka have always had a positive attacking team,always good to watch.Looks like Lee may be back for the Aussies too!!!

Re ,the beer.............I would never mock the afflicted

Cheers

I'm trying to find a dealer who can equip me to get SuperSports, but am hampered by not having my own transport (at least I have a car, but don't drive, and the car is mainly used on the farm). I have one suggestion through ThaiVisa for a dealer in Surin, but haven't been able to get there yet. Do you know one in Buriram?

Oh, yes, the cricket. It seems as if Lee and Harmison are largely spent forces, but we shall soon find out. I hope Trott is played; he's had awonderful season so far, but so often when that happens, a batsman somehow doesn't make the grade for tests. (e.g Robert Key)

Have a beer for me when the match starts!

There must be someone in Buriram who would know,,,,,,,,,,I live nr Nong Ki which is 75kms from Buriram,my man lives around 5 kms away.Robert Key was one ,another even bigger failure was Graham Hick.
Touch & Go whether or not Freddie is fit !!!!!!!!!!!!!

One hour into the match... if it goes on like this, we're going to need some good English cricketing weather.... rain.

Morakot, you're in the wrong ocean. I always thought Stuart Clark was underrated.

I wouldn't pay them in washers...........102 all out,Aus 14-1 ,Katitch just out ,caught for a duck.But I think help from above is needed.

Speechless!

Remember what we said? Boycott wants Robert Key back, others want Ramprakash, who was about as successful as Graeme Hick. Basically, our people don't have the killer instinct; if you ever saw Fred Trueman or Merv Hughes pawing the ground at the beginning of their run-up like a bull about to charge... Flintoff has it, too. So did the great West Indies fast bowlers. To open the batting, you need a Boycott (heaven help us!) as an anchor.

Oh well, there's one more to come.

I'll agree with you if and when they win the series, but it's all square at the moment! Nice to see Trott given a chance

Meanwhile three cheers for England (and South Africa and Punjab, and perhaps some others)!

I didn't realise Trott was yet another South African.
