Surely that would be an SND test. You'd be lucky to have the stamina for X shifty

Watch the Boxing Day test match in Melbourne during an Ashes series sometime soon before Test Cricket goes the way of the Dodo.

 

Watch the Salford RLFC team win something.

 

Bounce my grandchild on my knee.

Not if we have more games like the one England have just won and the Adelaide test was a great game.

Wouldn't mind joining you in Melbourne.
