Hi Everyone,
Leading up to the first test all Sky Sports did was play clips from the 2005 series. It is like the 06/07 series didn't even happen. It was very annoying to say the least.
On the first day of the Test we were seated in the Really Welsh stand about 5 seats away from the players when they walked out. We didn't hear much chanting where we were. The good thing was that we got free drinks because Rich was just 3 rows behind us and he could get free Brain's drinks and he got Cokes for us.
On Saturday we were on the other side of the ground in the big stand. This time Mum came with us. She was very exited. It just so happened that we were next to a group of Poms. I could tell Dad and Mum liked them because they bought them drinks. Once they had a few drinks under there belt they started to get very boisterous. It was funny because they were hanging stuff on us all day and then one of them said "I would rather be a Pakky then Taffy" then two guys in front jumped up and started to have a go at him and I really thought there was going to be a fight. Then one of his mates calmed them down, then kept going on and on and on about it. Then the cricket was rained out so we went home.
On Sunday, the final day, we were seated in the Spar stand in the bottom left hand corner. We were close to lots of England fans so I thought this going to be great when we win. When we took 3 wickets before lunch I thought we would be on our way home before tea but this was not the case. The evening session is when I really thought we had it. When Paul Collingwood went out I was over the moon. Then by some miracle we couldn't get them out and every ball they didn't go out the whole crowd cheered. If we had of got them out then it would of been so good but it didn't happen and they got louder and louder. Until they were acting as if they had won the thing (I think some of them thought they had). In the End it was very disappointing.
Good-bye for now, I am looking forward to our 6 week holiday in Europe!
Go Pies!!!

hi Bill. good to read your blog --your description of the fight that nearly happened between the poms and the taffys was very good -- sounds like they nearly got into each other for sure. what a shame the Aussies couldn't quite get the Poms out. I can see you will remember that game for a long time, Bye Peter Meaden
