1) At some point I will spit coffee over the sofa because someone will do something incredibly gay on international TV.
2) Charles Colville will not be able to hide his love for Geraint Jones.
3) I will have to be talked out of sending homemade explosives to TMS
4) Geraint Jones will make me have a heart attack.
5) Andrew Flintoff will make Strauss do all the hard interviews.
6) When it's going really badly, they'll send Hoggy out to do the interviews.
7) Someone will have to hold Geraint back from starting a fight with the entire Western Terrace.
8) Ricky Ponting will have a hissyfit.
9) English people will laugh at Ricky Ponting having a hissyfit.
10) Australians will be slightly embarrassed by Ricky Ponting having a hissyfit.
11) Alastair Cook will score the slowest 50 ever in Ashes history.
12) Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood will get sunburned
13) Steve Harmison will touch his side the first time a ball goes four feet down leg side
14) Jonathan Agnew will find a way to blame the Iraq war on Geraint Jones.
15) I will develop a twitch whenever Kevin Pietersen comes out to bat
16) Hoggy will attempt to show someone his piece of lucky string; they won’t be interested.
17) Michael Henderson will write a negative article about the England cricket team.
18) At least once I will give up and go to bed in despair only to wake up and find the most exciting thing ever happened.
19) I will send a ridiculous amount of text messages to [livejournal.com profile] indian_skimmer
20) The Australians will blame the umpires.
21) Duncan Fletcher will give an interview in which he says very little but fails to hide his contempt for the British media.
22) Everyone will get annoyed at the sound of Adam Gilchrist's voice.
23) Geraint Jones will be hoisted into the air.
24) I will denounce my adoration of the English cricket team, attempt to gain Sri Lankan citizenship but still continue to torture myself on a nightly basis.
25) I will be found in Tesco at 4.15am buying chocolate pudding.


Oh yes, and Geraint will score 167 to win us the ashes and then, when asked if he has anything to say to his critics, he'll proceed to pronounce his name phonetically. I dreamt that a year ago. Twice. Therefore it's going to happen.




This time tomorrow night....

Excellent predictions, very true indeed.

*bounces* Only 27 hours to go!

I am both excited and terrified at the same time

Oh, #13 is so true. So very very true.

Stephanie "Sick Note" Harmison

Period pains made him pull out of the warm up, that's what me and [livejournal.com profile] felicita decided.

I am planning on ignoring the entire series. I think it's for the best.

Harmy basically uses the exact same excuses I did to get out of PE.

I want to ignore it, but I know I'll find myself watching anyway.

26) Jimmy Anderson will mysteriously be found trampled to death, with what appear to be the footprints of small pachyderms all over his back.

From: [identity profile] lemonbella.livejournal.com
Yes. Definitely. If only I'd predicted that one for yesterday...

I didn't have a reason to set my herd of vicious attack mammoths on him yesterday.

From: [identity profile] lemonbella.livejournal.com
Ah, they're your attack mammoths, I thought we were just hoping for any old attack mammoth.

Ian looked willing to beat him to death with his cricket bat, even if he had to hold it in his feet to do it.

From: [identity profile] akkrenskarin.livejournal.com
No, I own a large herd of highly trained attack mammoths.

I wish he had done, it would've been funny. I have seen pictures of Ian looking small and sad on Yahoo, and now I want to do painful things to Mr Anderson.

You're underestimating the value of a preventative pygmy mamoth attack. We could have done with one of those.

From: [identity profile] akkrenskarin.livejournal.com
I didn't know he was going to do that until yesterday! Normally I'm a very sweet and non-violent person, but when my Ian's involved...

From now on you'll have to make them hang around in nets and gather threateningly near any wayward bowling.

On the other hand, at least if Anderson's hitting a batsman he's closer to the stumps than Harmy's managed to bowl in about six months, so there's something positive to take out of it. It's just a shame he managed to hit our poor Ian instead of Matthew Hayden.

From: [identity profile] akkrenskarin.livejournal.com
I will. They're quite small mammoths, I'm sure they could manage to be unobtrusive.

This is true... but still, why Ian? Why can't he pick on someone his own size?

Have you got someone willing to talk you out of sending homemade explosives to TMS? At 4.15am I can't be guaranteed to do anything other than encourage you.

Date: 2006-11-21 08:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lemonbella.livejournal.com
See, that could be a problem. Would you at least post bail?

If they'll accept £8.32 and three-quarters of a fruit cake, then yes. Absolutely.

Other than that...

I'm willing to give you an alibi?

Most police officers can be bribed with fruit cake, it should be fine.

From: [identity profile] indian-skimmer.livejournal.com
It's a home-made fruit cake with almonds on top. No officer of the law could resist that.

1)Apart from the very very enthusiastic butt-patting that happens all the time, I still remember Nasser Hussain lying spread eagled on the ground after taking a catch and Darren Gough collapsing on top of him in wicket taken ecstasy. It went on for a while and the commentator (Tony Grieg maybe?) seemed a bit uncomfortable. It was hilarious.
8) to 10) That's a given.
17) Does Henderson ever write anything positive? Or in a tone that doesn't make people think that the subject of the article stole his lunch money and kicked his dog?
20) That's a given too. Only time there are no complaints is when the decisions go in their favor. Head before wicket indeed.
22) Yes.
24) Tried that with my team, unfortunately never worked.

Cricket is quite a gay sport because of all the patting. This team in particular are incredibly Gay. We've had ear sucking, snuggling and much hoisting of wicket-keepers in the air.

Are you going to be able to keep up with The Ashes where you are?

I agree with all of those, hee. I am stupidly excited about tomorrow, though I may be stuck listening to it on TMS.

You can count how many times they say that Read is the best wicket keeper ever. And then send them rude e-mails.

I am very good at those *nods solemnly*
