We had our first Ashes dream
Not our first Ashes dream ever. Are you mental? No. The first for this series (which doesn't start for months yet).
It was quite a good one, fulfilling many of the Ashes dream criteria, but it did end on a bit of a cliffhanger and there was a degree of frustration involved.
It was the first Test, as it always is in Ashes dreams and it was being played in Jamaica, which is just about never the case in Ashes dreams. Australia batted first and hit 500. This is a surprisingly common theme in Ashes dreams. Sometimes the Aussies are crushed from the outset, but more frequently they maintain their world-beating aura until the final act.
On this occasion England started their fightback in the first innings. Michael Vaughan (yes, Michael Vaughan) declares with England on 780 and Andy Flintoff unbeaten on 177. We're not too sure why Michael didn't let Flintoff get his double hundred. It was only the end of the second day because England had scored so phenomenally quickly.
At this point we go off to the pub, but unfortunately we can't find the bar. Then Afridi (who is our cat) starts squeaking and jumping on our feet and we wake up. We don't know why he squeaks. We're going to train him to shout 'Howzat' instead, although that might be even more annoying at 5am.

Warning: This is a true post. It contains only fact. (admittedly facts about a dream but still.)
I dreamt about cricket last night/early morning. I think what happened was the radio alarm woke me up, radio 4 since you ask and I fell back to sleep. I think they must have been talking about the ball tampering on the news because
I dreamt somebody was bowling towards my window at me in bed. Amazing really, I'm three stories up.
It was a spin bowler by the way. I couldn't tell you who, I know nothing about cricket.
Told you it was boring.
