Sadly not, I went to the fifth day of the ashes in 2009 when there was a possibility of both sides winning. It was £10 for me and £5 for my son. Unfortunately we watched the Aussis bat all day but the atmosphere was fantastic.

I thought I'd spotted you then, duds. Ah well, never mind!
@ Downy: did you write a CHAOS post about a match at Bramhall Victoria and a player they had being a loud Cockney? I'm transferring them over now and it's a 'migration deleted user' post.

Oz are 78-1 we need to get another wicket soon and hopefully try and force a bit of a collapse before they gain too much confidence!

England look to have another big chase in store as Oz finish 273-5 at the end of the first day

322-5, very tough for England to beat even if they declared now, we'll need a huge performance from all

Just got in from work and I had it on for a few mins, then turned it back off again. Rather fitting that we're playing this series over the Christmas period, because we're getting a proper stuffing, there are no two ways about it.

Not sure I'm going to bother stating up too much longer I get up for work in 5 hours!

Not sure I'm going to bother stating up too much longer I get up for work in 5 hours! I wouldn't, duds, you'll feel worse for it in the morning. I could stay up all night watching it if we were ripping into them, but this is going to be painful, and you're only going to add to the pain by denying yourself sleep to watch it!

Not the best start from England's batting order, 35-1

If/when England lose this one I'll let you know what my three embarrassing bets on the Ashes are.

I repeat:
Whitewash.
I'm not into self-harming, so I won't be watching any more of this series unless there's a dramatic shift in the balance. I'm on nights for the rest of this match anyway, so I won't be able to watch it even if I did feel like punishing myself. I suppose I'll just have to ask someone to punch me on the arm whenever they walk past my machine from midnight onwards, then at least I can share your pain.
