The wait and the hype have been unbearable, but finally it is here. And things are going our way. After the first hour listening to the commentary from Smee's phone it sounds like the status quo has been restored. England opted to play Giles ahead of "the best finger spinner in the world" (Duncan Fletcher's words, not mine), we won the toss and batted and Steve Harmison was all over the shop. Was it an omen that the first ball in the series was an English wide? Langer batted like he was thinking "Phil who?". Captain Hercules bowled 2 no-balls in his first over. Once again, Hoggard looked like the only Pom that can bowl.
I love cricket. For the moment, anyway
