Further sprinkling of information, which is set to take the nation by storm.


Edit: And Ponting is not playing in the next test.

middle and leg guarden sprinkler? You can see what a lot meant to the players though. Get rid of Ponting, they should round-up the weeds.

The Sprinkler, it's even worse than the inane dance that Peter ( bambi) Crouch used to do when he scored a goal, something called the Robot if I remember correctly. I thought Cricket players were above doing this sort of nonsense. Obviously not.

I think the team can get away with this as it involves a lot of 'big arm, big action' stuff, without too much finesse. Contrast that with the girly-hipped footballers doing a reprise of their night club antics - in front of people keen to see role models 'at work' - and one can only
Of course, football will make more column inches because the mostly dreary press and mostly dreary commentators look upon such antics as an athletic and worthy part of the game

It's clearly a joke, lighten up!

There was a step-by-step guide in how to do 'the sprinkler' in today's Telegraph - I'm getting quite good at it now...

Can't remember if it was in the 'Sport's' section or the cut out and keep 'How glorious England thrashed the hopeless Aussies in the Ashes 2010' souvenir issue bit.

Never mind the sprinkler, who knows the words to the Barmy Army chant they were giving to Mitchell Johnson?

They played really well, missing Finn out of the team was a great choice as he is our worst bowler, he only got so many wickets in the previous test as the Aussie's were taking more chances hitting him around that they would not of done with Anderson for example.. I still do not believe that Collingwood is up to the task of one of our earlier batsmen. He is probably our best fielder, but somebody else should be given a chance as he is just not good enough. Trott, Anderson and Cook have been very good though. Hope they can win the next one too, they should do as the Aussie's are pretty poor team now, even Hussey is starting to fail

I think that ''trajectorially challenged'' is the acceptable way of expressing it....

Radio 4 earpiece under the pillow time again. All out by breakfast?
From the way Michael Vaughan was laughing I thought Johnson was being accused of "self manipulation"

Anyone read Dom Joly in the Independent today? An overheard 'phone call... Mike Selvey's pitch analysis was also interesting to read (in the Grauniad).

Rain? Roll on World Cup 2011 and the Netherlands!

Australia all out for 280 and now England are 163 for 2. It's looking like a result will be obtained rather than a draw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 down now. England looking to Anderson for shelter. Johnson and Siddle Hilfenhaus (thank you Dayvo ) scored all the runs for Aus!
