The atmosphere building nicely - hopefully the hot weather sorts out that shoddy bog over there

England have done well against the Kiwis  ODI + T20, I see Ryder is playing for Essex......

I was hoping Rhino wouldn't have s sore knee - maybe something in the Dad's Army?

I hope Marsh gets the nod over Watson, back here we aren't hearing much, apart from all the bowlers wanting a piece of Jimmy...poor lad, Johnson will have about + 5kph for when Jimmy comes out.

How is that Cardiff dust bowl going, remember Anderson and Monty needing gloves, water and the physio all at 5 to 6 on day 5 last time...
