So if this is just the Test Match, when do they play the real one?

Mark that is a shrewd guess :-)

Its the test match - england vs new zealand at Trent Bridge (I think)

Mrs Sooz - does that mean Mr Sooz is going twice?

Yes he is going twice Villan! (He usually manages all five days)
And yes, Guest, Ooh-Aah there are more sports than football and we can beat the rest of the world in some of them without the need for St Georges Flags on our cars. (Incidentally, can someone tell me why the flag now has to say "England" across the middle?)

WOrk prevents alas. Watch it on the telly? you'll be lucky unless you have Sky. England win two tests in a row and Channel 4 (who have the terrestrial rights)can barely bring themselves to mention it on the news and deign to show the highlights at 1 in the morning. GRRRRRR!

thank the gods for the BBC web scorecard!

Don't get too cocky yet you poms!!!!

You still can't win the Ashes back can you.

And when that series comes around, we'll see the same old excuses & the same old rout!!!

What was that story about the kid at school who told everyone that his father was a male stripper at a gay bar???

Yeah, he was ashamed to tell the truth that his dad played cricket for England (which may well be one of the better oxymorons!!!)

I support England but I thought NZ had this one yesterday morning!

It was nice to see Chris Cairns getting some recognition for his contribution to cricket yesterday. He's been a very useful player - NZ will miss him.

Nottinghamshire also, Jon. Nice for him to finish his test career on his home ground.
Don't mention the rugby Hrothgar!

Has he retired from county cricket too then sooz? I obviously haven't read enough but had assumed he might carry on at that level.

Assuming you are a Notts supporter, it seems to me you have done well with NZ all-rounders - didn't you have (the great IMO) Richard Hadlee for a few years?

Chris retired from Notts last season, Jon. You are also quite correct about Sir Richard (he was there yesterday as well)

Sorry, Sooz - I just can't resist mentioning the rugby!

England done - no tries

Scotland done - no tries

Ireland done - one try

Wales done - several tries.

I feel sorry for the latter three.
