Rain delays play
Soggy outfield delays start
bad light stops play
Rudi stops play
When will this test match get underway?
Watto went early, Aamer struck
twice in fact, Ponting too
Umer Amin beginner's luck
When caught, the captain said "fuck"
and behaved like a schmuck.
Then Pup came in and did settle
It looked like we might kick arse
when Kat joined in the battle
and the Stani bowling did rattle
and with 80, the Kat showed his mettle.
Then the Aussies did what they do best,
and the Stanis really did, too
Our batsmen collapsed like a widow's breast
the North duck a pain in my chest
The Stanis bowled like they were blessed
So tomorrow, bugger it, will arrive
the rain and Rudi allowing
and we hope our bowlers will manage to thrive
and keep our Aussie hopes alive
or Strauss, the twat, will feel he can arrive ...
... in Australia and keep the Ashes.
Day 1: Pakistan won the toss and opted to field; Australia finish the day on 229/9. Mussey n.o. 39 and Bolly n.o. 0.
.... eeep ....

Punter is getting more and more grumpy and it is high time that North is dropped.
I know, I know ... I keep praying for Lord Marcus to do better, but it just ain't happening. Who do you see in his place?
Just about anyone really. I don't think I can bear reading his name on the teem sheet anymore.
Khawaja may have trouble against spin (what young Aus player doesn't), but I'm he'll learn fast.
One other thing, isn't this tour going well?
I expect our guys to bowl too short tomorrow. All though Hilfy should at least show some good sense.
Nooooooo Blazer! You have said what every opposition fan and player were thinking and now the secret is out. Damn. Lou, shshsh, just shshshsh.
Yes, it does seem as though North's career is going down South but he's just lost his bearings for a bit, he'll soon find his way.
Please do sign up for this new initiative I've launched: The Save Marcus North Campaign.
If the conditions are similar tomorrow, the Stanis will find it difficult too. I think Hilfen-house will be right at home. (Ooof, terrible)
Me and you in a poetry write off...one day Sid, one day. You is going down!
Khawaja or anyone can be selected as North can't play swing or spin bowling.
Hey Stani - "save Marcus North", another one of our t-shirts?
Whoopee!! I went away yesterday when the scorecard read 150 for 2 something and today I see they're all nearly out! Sorry Sid, but it's the Stanis' chance now to torture the Aussies for a while.
Stani, I for one wouldn't be joining your campaign. Can't we save someone more interesting? But I'll gladly join the poetry contest.
And Sid, we should be sharing Paul the Octopus, we're both half Dutch. :D
I was hoping you said that Sid!
Sunny, our batsmen are never too far from a collapse! 250 is a lot for us....we haven't scored 300 in a Test since Stani was in nappies.
@Sid, hey i would like to produce an album of songs for upcoming Ashes with you, only problem is finding the world ugliest voice to sing them, may be i can sing, That will make a hell of a business, wht you think?
hhhmmm ... and album and a range of new t-shirts? I think I'll be wealthy enough to lure My Lord away from his wife any time soon.
As for the world's ugliest voice, it would have to be Graeme Swann surely? No wait, that's the world's ugliest face ... perhaps we can put him on the album cover?
@Stani that should make for a good test series, because our batsmen always collapse as well. Pity it's only 2 tests. Then we have to go off and be beaten up by India.
@Sunny I'm thinking stir fried salt and pepper squid. We Dutch love our Chinese food, so it suits.
...told you Sid!
You wont get beaten by India, they have no bowlers.
