I've been out in the Cardiff sun, farking boiling.

Found a pub close by the ground to watch the game. Early mornings are probably the way forward..

If it stays like this for the next month, all five Tests will be two-spinner tracks.

That wouldn't be a bad thing I guess...

England could play Swann, Rashid and Panesar with Flintoff as the anchor quick.

When was the last time England played three spinners in a test?

I believe that they are pissed off cos it comes up in the west.

They're more pissed off that it comes up at all and doesn't shine out of their collective arseholes.

KP has been relying on his Saffer 'friends' as he calls them for intelligence on the poms.

"I have had a lot of communication with Kallis and Boucher. A lot of it was very, very useful," Pietersen told reporters during an England media day at Edgbaston.
"They told me about the new bowlers we haven't seen much of, like Siddle, and how to dismiss quite a few of their top batsmen. I spoke to Kallis and Boucher almost daily about (that) stuff.
"Hughes doesn't create me too many problems because I'm a batsman so most of my talk was about their bowlers but we certainly did talk about two or three of their batsmen as well," added Pietersen
