It doesn’t get much better than highly anticipated cricket on a Thursday afternoon. Well, it does: knowing that there are 24 more days of it to come.
I spent the first few hours of today’s play laying on the lounge room floor, bathed in sunlight, watching the cricket on the telly, and texting back and forth with jLo who was watching the game from a pub in London after midnight. At one point jLo wrote:
Ps. How hilarious was that first ball? Funniest opening delivery ever. Why the fuck isn’t Flintoff putting himself on?
And sure enough he picked the ball up the very next over.
Some overs later I was reading another of her texts and missed Hayden being caught out. I wrote:
Missed that because I was reading your text. Neanderthal in the showers.
In response, and referring to GrodsCorp’s relentless ridiculing of Matthew Hayden over time, jLo wrote:
Sorry matey! No great loss, really. Where was Jesus right then, huh?
Informing her that I intended to blog her comments she declared:
I am ever conscious of the fact that my texts may be blog fodder. I’ll look forward to reading it all again tomorrow.
Consider it done, jLo.

Man, that was so fun. I am very tired today, but it was worth it.
