I stayed up to watch the Ashes and it was going so slow and I couldn't hang on anymore so I went to bed thinking we are doomed anyway. Woke up and found we WON. We won the first test. Woohoo.

Was a nice way to start the morning. I did the same as you and crashed at about 1am. In hindsight, should've gone to bed early and got up at 3 to watch the end of it.

Yeah I just thought this is not going good. Woke up and was very surprised.

This is why I’ve sworn I’ll support tinyest in ANYTHING he chooses to do, but if it’s cricket I’ll be phoning that support in hard. I cannot stand it!

Oh boo. Where's your team spirit? Hahah. No seriously if Tinyest comes home to announce he's on the cricket team you'll be there with tears in your eyes cheering him on guaranteed.

I reckon you’d get into it if Tinyest was doing that. Imagine his little pads and helmet and bat, swinging for the fences and then running which ever direction he’d end up facing. Adorable.

Ehhh. To be honest I’d still rather watch paint dry. Let me put it this way, I’d rather watch him in an episode of MAFS before I had to go to the g on Boxing Day. I’ll support him 200% but dear god I hope it’s anything BUT cricket!
