Ashes 2019: England v Australia third Test, day one – live!


















Updated

























“I remember well a protracted spell of insomnia during the 06/07 Ashes,” writes David Alcock. “I think I followed every night (day?) of that series while writing interminable reports on medieval sculpture conservation. The grim yet bizarrely satisfying reading of the OBO kept me from being a complete gibbering wreck. Perverse, I know, but that strange perversion that is ‘proper’ English cricket… ie, losing. Keep it up.”

Thank you. We will. They’re more Smyth areas – thankfully, he’s here to take over from me in a jiffy.

One last Cud email before I go. “Never imagined I would put these two favourite things together in one heading OBO and CUD,” says a very happy Tim Cooper. “Just came back to my screen to see a thread on the greatest Leeds band that almost but never quite made it big, within coverage of cricket at Headingley. I’m in total heaven. My pledge for the most appropriately themed hit – Punishment-Reward Relationship.”

Thanks for being part of it. Given all this passion for Cud over the last few hours, I’m off to listen to them over a cup of tea. Thanks for your brilliant company as always. Over to Rob. Bye for now!





















Rain stops play!

All the covers are on, I’m afraid
