And for the record the Oz team seem to think that if anyone is going
to get them, it may as well be Freddy (who seems to be playing for
the wrong team). I'm not so magnanimous. They've all been playing for
county teams for so long that they've lost their hate. Interesting to
see some light on the wall behind the TV - was the sun actually
shining at any time that Oz was batting?
Nice 22 yard stare.
I have to go catch up on some sleep now - after all, if our lads can
stay up playing all night, the least i can do is stay awake to watch
them. :)
