Sun: No spots for 8 days now.
So we didn’t quite hold out for a draw against the Aussies in a really gripping match. Our top order batsmen were poor, the tail-enders scored more under pressure than they did. The next Ashes Test starts Thursday at the Oval. I have some tickets, hope for good weather.
England won against Kosovo 5 – 3, so what happened to the defence?
Stoke play Bristol on Saturday, I’ll be there. The manager won’t last long if we lose again.
