The joy of test cricket

Is anyone else feeling exhausted and somewhat twitchy this morning? What an incredible night's cricket. Initially there seemed no comparison between the dull start at an empty Harare stadium where New Zealand are taking on Zimbabwe and the supernova over at Edgbaston where England were taking on Australia. But then, just as England finally strangled a gasping Australia (thanks to a dodgy Billy Bowden decision), Brendon McCullum decided that it was time to start throwing the bat around. From 113/5 were raced to 452/9, with 219 runs coming in a frenetic last session. But I am sure that the papers can tell you all about that. Personally my brain is too frazzled to do much more than pour another cup of tea.
