Kind of Blue

Well, that's that. 5-0. I only hope that the Australian team is recognised by the Australian head of state in a similar manner to the England team in 2005. Especially Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath.

I noted this morning that Andrew Flintoff was interviewed wearing the proper England kit (whites and an England cap, rather than the usual pyjamas and baseball cap they're made to wear by Vodafone). Perhaps they didn't want to be associated with such an appalling spectacle.

My abiding memory of this series: waking up on the last day of the 2nd test with Australia batting at 60-3 or thereabouts with 2 hours to go. I assumed England, having been batting most of the day, had made 250 -300 and therefore ensured the draw. In fact they'd only made 130 or so to leave Australia to get 180. Rubbish. Every time England were x for 5, you could be certain they'd be all out for (x+30).

I wasn't really in the mood for anthing much, but my eyes fell on the Complete 'In A Silent Way' Sessions by Miles Davis. What a genius.

T-4 (wow, two days in a row it's worked well); M-4; D-3 (particularly for the guy who tried to get on the train by walking through me).
