Really. You just got out of bed. Did you change your sleeping habits for Eng v Ind? I think not.

Have you heard of recording on a Sky+ box and a highlights program at night? It's what they have in the UK - you watch all test matches when you want.

Ind vs Aus has been a great series so far, I just want to say that.

A bit of niggle, good combatitive play and counter-play, loving it all.

India will surely skittle Aus out on the final day but it's been a great contest.

Yes, that's the likely scenario now - India win or draw. It has been a good series too.

This is why I'm not a betting man.

Great rear-guard action from the Aussies. Handscomb and Renshaw are very promising new-comers. Even Maxwell looks like he's capable of shelving the ego.

My prediction held true.

I should be a betting man.

Were you thinking that at the 2/23? Handscombe was fantastic. Great to see an Aussie batsman with patience for once?

In other news apparently some Ashes tickets are released this week for those in the know (or have bought many in the past). Dunno the details, I'm leaving it to others but just a heads-up. I'll be at The Gabba days 1 and 3 with luck.

I'll be at the SCG for every day's play, I'll get tickets on the day because we'll be 3 - 1 up by then and no Aussie fans will show up

No, I wasn't thinking that at that point.

He did bat well though, just like a true Test batsman should. It was great to see.
