  1. Citrus Bob says

    Just in case you’re short David
    will report in every day bar 5.

  2. Thanks very much Citrus Bob.
    Your views have become a highlight of the Test summer.
    Will you be in Perth?
    I hear that a wedding of a West Coast Eagle made the back pages of the local paper last week.

  3. I’m up for Saturday – Day 3, e.r.
    Cheers

  4. Thanks Smokie.
    From the Apollo Bay Hotel..?

  5. Paddy Grindlay says

    G’day e.r,

    Day four sounds good for me.

    Can pinch-hit elsewhere.

  6. Thanks Paddy. Excellent.
    Very happy to receive your views of any or all days.
    As you’re able.

  7. Ha ha – no, e.r. will not be down that neck of the woods for a little while!

  8. John Butler says

    E Reg, circumstances indeterminate for the following few days, but will offer some thoughts where possible.

    You have all been fairly warned.

  9. Very good, JB.
    If and whenever circumstances allow.
    That’s already a solid foundation.

  10. Citrus Bob says

    In Perth already David.

    Hot and windy which means the team that wins the toss has a dilemma whether to bat or bowl.

    Never mind SA early on the fourth day.
    Very little in the papers and people still saying :Is the cricket on?
    Looking forward to reporting in each day along with my other knacker mates.
    Remember our reports will be first in written media with the full details.

  11. I am in Perth, going on the first day. Look for me in the Prindaville Stand.

  12. Hi Phil
    sorry I missed you having severe trouble with my new laptop or am I getting too old?
    Great crowd would have been good to catch up.
    Test cricket is alive maybe not well but getting better
