"when's the game itself going to begin?"

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I thought it was going to go downhill from the point when Vaughan lost the toss...

And, as noted, The Sisters got a mention in the Guardian's cricket coverage.

122-5 now. Mini-collapse over?

And of course with batting first there's all those nice foot-holes left by our bowlers for Warne to turn out of.

Presumably anyone who's interested is keeping track of the score elsewhere. At least try and add a bit of descriptive waffle to your announcements for the rest of us.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

Cricket bores me. Especially watching it (mind you, I hate watching sport anyway, I much prefer actually PLAYING it).

Give me a game of softball or rugby any day.

that is because you are young and have yet to develop the maturity necessary to appreciate the game.

so that's baseball for girls and football for cheats. there may be no chance of saving this one.

Gutted I can't put the radio on in work. Following the score courtesy of Channel 4's desktop scorebox, but it's not the same without Blowers, The Bearded Wonder, CMJ et al.

well good grief. i am stunned. still, plenty of time for our entire batting line-up to capitulate meekly before stumps.

the grauniad's over-by-over reports are a reasonable stand-in. although i'm enjoying a streaming feed of tms in my own little office.
