I gotta get some sleep, some time this week, man

[flibbertyjibber]

Failed.

Fell asleep at end of lunch and missed the furore. Woke up after tea and saw Prior and Trott smash it about.

Worse for me, kept myself awake through lunch and the 1st 2 or 3 overs of the new ball then dozed off and woke 15 minutes later just after KP was dismissed.

 

[silentstriker]

Wow, you people need to man up. Some of us have been doing this every series for a decade or more.

 

[fredfertang]

I took a view on yesterday and went to bed early - only saw about 10 minutes play just after lunch and the last couple of overs - refreshed now and aiming to watch it all tonight - got to see the denouement as it happens

 

[Marcuss]

Last thing I heard was KP getting out.

 

[GIMH]

I think I bailed during the evening session but I can't remember anything after Bell getting out really

Haven't had much sleep but don't plan on missing any more play. Can't miss the ashes being retained

It's weak especially because GIMH and other pansies only watch series involving England. They aren't manning up and watching 16 hours of cricket per day

I've been staying up to about 3 am watching the Ashes, then waking up around 9 am to catch the last 40 overs between SA and India. Good thing I'm on break from college.

 

[Pothas]

I have taken in plenty of South Africa v some overrated side thank you very much.

 

[Jono]

Lol, fair play.

 

[GIMH]

Really struggling tonight already

Tried to sleep this afternoon but must have only got about half an hour. Might have to sit some of the middle session out today, we'll see.

 

[Jono]

Have some red bull you pansy

 

[GIMH]

Had plenty of coffee like.

Kids and a XMas Test in Australia aren't the best combination for one's fatigue levels

 

[marc71178]

Time for one last push team - presume everyone else has the champagne on ice ready to toast the victory?

 

[fredfertang]

On the basis of my assuring her it will take about 40 minutes to wrap up later I appear to have persuaded Mrs Fertang to watch some live cricket for the first time since the last hour at Trent Bridge in '05 - and yes there is a bottle of Moet in the fridge - pretty confident I'm on a promise tbh

 

[GIMH]

Unfortunately champagne is out of my price range and I don't like the stuff anyway. Am about to go buy my beers for the night, maybe I will get lambrini for the big moment.

Such a classy lassie.

 

[chalky]

I gave up watching live for this test and have just sky + every day aswell as the Saffie India test think I'm gonna have to stay awake tonight though my general stay awake drink is amareto and coke can't stand red bull.

 

[GIMH]

Two pounds 49, lambrini bubbly. Winner.
