Cricket/Flip flop index

Well the cricket looks like it will be ending in a draw today. England didn't do a particularly good job of bowling and after posting a very large total of 528/9 declared (with 3 centurions) they had trouble getting wickets after the first session with Pakistan eventually being bowled out for 445. Currently, with one day to go, we are 258/7 with a lead of 341. I suspect we will give it a bit of welly this morning, and try and get 30 or 40 more on the board and have an hour at Pakistan before lunch. 360 should be a big enough total to defend, but I can't see us bowling them out in 2 1/2 sessions. It took us 119 overs to eventually dismiss them and have taken 77 overs to get to 258, so not enough time I don't think. Unless something extraordinary happens, a draw is going to be the outcome. Bluesq have a draw at 1/5, and they are never wrong.

The Flip-flop index is doing well in the office today. I only have to turn my head 15° in either direction to spot 8 scabby feet. And what's the deal with the long shorts/short longs business?
