Bolly, Bolly, Bolly ...

I had a bad night's sleep after checking the situation at 1am and thinking - shite, the Kiwis can do this! But I woke up and everything seems relatively normal:
  • Bolly's making an idiot of himself in wicket celebrations
  • My Lord is being Godlike
  • Ry the Not Jimmeh is pissing me off by bowling well
  • Someone's complaining about the UDRS not going their way
  • Kiwis are being ordinary
  • Ponting is putting my nerves on edge
  • Also, I suspect Mitchy is chucking pies, but I haven't seen any of it so I'm just guessing (because it's a fair guess, right?)
Look out, Bolly! Dan's coming for you ... and then he's heading in to take out the match ref ...

As is usual with a test, I haven't watched. In this case because of time zones, but usually because I jinx the beggars by watching. I'm not convinced we built up enough before declaring. Couldn't we have batted again just for a little to build up their target? We had plenty of time ... and I need my sleep at the moment (I have basically just lost my job, btw).

God damn I hope we can get this done tomorrow.

I knew it! I knew it wouldn't be enough.

We still won, Sid.

Oh alright, you were right.

And you forgot to add: and Watson's injured. Clearly his deal with the devil was only for 12 months.

(I am being cynical here in an attempt to invoke the irony gods and have him come back... prove me wrong, please!!)

I know I mentioned somewhere that he is injured ... doesn't sound like they missed him too much, does it?
