From the Captain's mess #2

First Test - Day Two 

The annoyingly self-styled Mr Cricket, Michael Hussey, has inched Australia towards a commanding position after the 2nd day of the 1st test. Despite being half an inch away from going 1st ball.

England, backed by a more lively Barmy Army, had a strong afternoon session, dispatching the diminutive Ponting (soon to be former Australian captain), Katich and the luckless North. 

The evening session went the way of the hosts with the weather and light intervening just as the new ball became available.

On the drinking front, still no improvement on the XXXX Gold front. It is still a shabby watery drop with little or no redeeming alcoholic features. However, I will continue sampling it, just in case! 

Meanwhile, England need to remove Mr Cricket early or else...
