Am I the only one who still doesn't like Michael Clarke though? I hate that I don't like our captain, and I'm more excited about punter & mr cricket's tonne than I am about pup's score Why don't I like him?

It's great to have on in the background and still get other things done.

However, I think he is truly stepping up. He's matured A LOT and I think he'll end up being one of the great captains and this test is showing us how spectacular he can be. I am actually really excited to see him grow up and become the captain no one believed he would be.

We are all unique - until someone tells us we're different
I love my cricket too. DH has been there the last 2 days. As for Pup, well, since he lost Miss Bingle, his cricketing has gone from strength to strength. He has matured a lot and he's more focused and determined

You know it may sound weird but I wish I loved cricket. I do. I read on twitter people watching the Boxing /day test, for instance, and it seems like a great way to rewind over summer. I don't even know how it is scored, or even played really. It was never on in the house when I was growing up, we're Irish, not such a thing there. Is it too late for me to learn to love it?

My poor girls didn't stand a chance, they are both glued to the TV to see Pup get his 300.

Lots of cricket love here. Bring back fond memories of having a wisdom tooth out back in the day. Last time I got to watch for a whole day uninterrupted.
