Kim Thonger, I shall miss your morning emails when this series is over. “If ‘It’s Coming Home’ doesn’t describe England fan feelings this weekend, perhaps this does, Dark Black by Kristina Train. I’ve been saving it for my funeral, but do ‘enjoy’ today as an Ashes farewell…
“I remember colors painted in my eyes
Green was for the springtime, blue the summer skies
And now the skies have darkened, the white clouds turn to grey
What a way to break a heart, you took all the colors away
Dark black is the color of my life
Since you’ve been gone
Since you’ve been gone
Oh if you come back
Make my whole world bright
Since you’ve been gone
Dark black is the color of my life”
Want to know the match situation at the click of a mouse/button/screen/trackpad? Well, fear not, because Vic Marks is all you need.
The lead stands at 382 with two fragile wickets remaining. It should be enough for England – if they can get Smith out.
