England 444 & 26-0; Australia 302
written by Rob Smyth
Sunday August 14, 2005(excerpt) 1st over: England 2-0 (lead by 142 on first innings; Trescothick 1, Strauss 1) These sub-standard Aussies are even copying our field placing now: McGrath has an absurd mid-off for Trescothick, just as Hoggard has had for Hayden (and Graeme Smith had so effectively against Trescothick in the winter). "Here's one for the Britpop debate," says Joe Stead. "What was Echobelly's famous song? After having found the album gathering dust last week we listened to it and couldn't recognise any the songs. Was there an at least slightly attractive singer that might explain this, can't remember that either." Blimey, anything else Joe? Want me to wash your swingers while I'm here? Echobelly: yes, and yes. Famous song was the impossibly chipper Great Things. (King of the Kerb did well too.) Singer was Sonia Aurora-Madan, or some such.
