Ordinary Gweilo

I’m afraid that I refuse to pay whatever it is that they charge for the cricket channel that is available in Hong Kong, but if someone had offered me a pay-per-view deal for the England vs Australia test match I think it would have been worth whatever they wanted to charge.

As it was, I listened to the BBC commentary for the final hour or so.  The English commentators were unashamedly cheering England to victory, whilst the Aussies were being a bit more even-handed.  It really was an incredible morning’s play, and the final margin of victory was as narrow as one could imagine.  I was reconciled to the fact that Australia were going to win, but somehow England took the final wicket just in time – but the final twist is that it seems that the umpire got it wrong.  Still counts, though.
