Weather permitting, first ball is at midnight.
Is that midnight tonight or tomorrow?
Yes I am too lazy to look .

No surprises at all, but you read the batting line-up and realise again how much you want Stokes to be in it!

Ta, decision now whether to have a late session tonight and inevitably miss the second part of the days play, or get up at the crack of dawn and miss the first part.Weather permitting, first ball is at midnight.
The wise move is to see which way the toss goes. I usually have an early night if we bat so that I can wake up to the bad news and I stay up if we're bowling. I much prefer to watch us bowling. Watching us bat isn't enjoyable because you know we're always one wicket away from the start of a collapse.Ta, decision now whether to have a late session tonight and inevitably miss the second part of the days play, or get up at the crack of dawn and miss the first part.
Yeah thats a good shout, I find it quite terrifying watching us bat nowadays.The wise move is to see which way the toss goes.

I could be lying and actually sit through all of it.
Who have BT got out there to cover it?It’s a big shame Sky don’t have the coverage for this. Their cricket commentary is the rare example of pundits/commentators that I actually want to listen to.
Won’t feel the same without Botham taking the piss out of Nasser and reminding him about the toss at Brisbane etc.

Im surprised they haven't got Botham/Nasser etc on their books, unless they're contractually tied to Sky.
Well, Boycott is a plus at least. I know first hand that he's a bit of a minge but he knows cricket.They've got Michael Vaughan, Ricky Ponting, Geoffrey Boycott, Adam Gilchrist, Graeme Swann, Alison Mitchell, Damien Fleming and Matt Smith.
In which case I'll probably hit the sack of we bat first, it's painful enough watching us bat but with breaks for rain on top I think I'll swerve it.Likely to be a few showers in the first session boys.
You will get some good banter with Punter, Gilly and Flem. I enjoy there work on Channel 10 here for the big bash. They know the game well as well.They've got Michael Vaughan, Ricky Ponting, Geoffrey Boycott, Adam Gilchrist, Graeme Swann, Alison Mitchell, Damien Fleming and Matt Smith.
