If it's England, the forecast is "Scattered wides, with an occasional shower of leg breaks".
If it's Australia, the forecast is "Torrential flippers, with a chance of a wrong 'un storm in the afternoon".

I'm thinking of putting on my big overcoat, pulling my hat down low and going down the bookies to bet on Aus to win the series 5-0! At least making a bit of money out of it might assuage the agony of watching!

England have come back from one down to win before, and they can do it again.
There's no complacency in the Stampede household tonight...

Still the OH had more complaints about the morons on both sides in the crowd behaving like idiots and calling other patrons "F*****g W*****s".
