You couldn't make it up

Brisbane Day 1: England 260, Australia 25-0 Oh dear Well, I predicted Australia would just shade day one and but for a certain Mr Siddle, I may have been right. But in the end it was all very black and white. Just imagine taking a Test match hat-trick on your birthday - you really couldn't make that one up. Good job for Australia that Siddle is not of German extraction like his team-mate Ben Hilfenhaus, otherwise he would have struggled to run up to the wicket after consuming his birthday pastries and cakes. Encouraged by a partial success with my first prediction, I now confidently forecast: (1) England will get slaughtered in the media for their performance today (that's the easy one) (2) They will bounce back strongly on Day 2.
