An Aussie geek stuck in Texas

One thing Australia has had going for it for the longest time is its dominance in world cricket but that is close to coming to an end as they find themselves in a position where it is near impossible to win, first they need to bowl England out and then score 2 or more runs on every single remaining ball of the day plus pray that the light stays good enough for stumps not to be called early, so yeah we’re screwed!

I had just rejuvinated my Aussie pride too after my holiday back home in July/August but they keep letting me down, first the Rugby and now the Cricket!

Okay y’all if you’re in Texas and are at all interested in cricket then drop me a line as I will be purchasing the $39.95 package to watch it online here, yes it is expensive especially for something that you can only watch online (I can’t have satellite at my apartment).

Now I just have to work out the exact dates and times the coverage is, might have to get some time off work! Oh and might have to upgrade my cable internet to make sure I have plenty of bandwidth!

EDIT: Okay the test is from Saturday 8th September through to the following Monday, the previous matches started at 9:30am GMT and Houston is GMT-5 at the moment so it looks like we are going to have some fun early mornings from about 4:30am till 11:30am or so to get our live cricket fix but I’ll be there with bells on all the same!

What the heck is going on Australia? We’re supposed one of the best sporting nations in the world! Will this be the first Ashes Tour that England wins in like forever? I sure hope not!

I am going to have to try my best to find somewhere over here that I can watch the final match though as it is shaping up to be one of the best test matches in quite a long time!

Oh man! I’ve been travelling for the last who knows how long on the way back from Sydney and only just now in a bout of insomnia remembered to check the cricket results for the second match of the Ashes Tour, I can’t believe they lost by only 2 runs after being so far behind. They did well to get even that close, it must be a downer for them to get so close, oh well bring on the third match!

Now I wonder if I can find the matches televised over here anywhere….
