2019 4th Ashes Test 2019 Old Trafford

[RohitSharma]

Umpires favoring the Poms, why am i not surprised

 

[k31th]

lame... now we're not even allowed to bowl spin only... stupid umpire's brought on the light meter and have now decided it's too dark

this is some BS. Australia certainly batted in worse conditions for light the previous test

 

[Mateyman]

Ah light! That old rule

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lol, they're going off, doubt it will get brighter.

 

[DaRick]

Remember that time at Headingley when they checked the light during the first day, while we were batting in the dark?

Me neither.

 

[kozi]

Yeah if we were batting they’d go another hour.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Australia would be required to bat with Archer bowling.

 

[dumb]

Thought on Lyon's series overall? Been pretty underwhelmed since the first Test personally.

very good 6fa. could have had more wickets but has also bowled a lot of overs down the wrong line.

 

[FreoRicci]

Ha. Typical umpires. Sooky England walking up and they follow.

 

[Coasters7]

Was fine when Archer was sending down 150kph rockets in the dark. We can’t even roll over a leggie

 

[Richard Pryor]

Fun fact: Dickie Bird once suspended play because there was too much light.

 

[Numero Uno]

so typical

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Damn. Nice to get those wickets towards the end, Aus right in the box seat.

 

[FreoRicci]

Remember that time at Headingley when they checked the light during the first day, while we were batting in the dark?

Me neither.

Yeah, that was sunny. Right?
England is such a miserable place to ply cricket let alone any sport.
Day/night tests needs to be their go to.

 

[kozi]

Pom bias is insanely blatant. Whole series stinks of it.

 

[frankrizzo]

No surprise as you knew if this situation arose it would happen but what a joke, England in trouble umps cant get off fast enough we are in trouble last test we are made to bat in the rain and the dark.

really is crazy how lucky they have been in this series, even when we finally get some of the conditions they have been bowling in the umps protect them.

 

[Visions]

Yes, don’t start play at 10.30 to catch up on overs, let’s add time at the end of the day when you can’t play anyway. hecken morons in England.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yes, don’t start play at 10.30 to catch up on overs, let’s add time at the end of the day when you can’t play anyway. fu**en morons in England.

Maybe they know it will be raining at 10:30. Certainly wouldn't have helped today.

We were also made to bat in the rain at Lords.

few of those late day one dismissals last test it was clear our lot couldn't see it, roy even got hit by one in the slips because he totally lost sight of it and they didn't even check the light meter in that last hour not even once.

 

[FreoRicci]

Yes, don’t start play at 10.30 to catch up on overs, let’s add time at the end of the day when you can’t play anyway. fu**en morons in England.

Boggles the mind. What about a 10am start? Far out. The planning is so rubbish. Been identical for each of the tests this series.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Game over.

Australian cricket had to seriously consider future series in England IMO, this is a joke, i'd prefer we played India.



Taylor just said that was a great result for Australia, Umm, what?

 

[Plugger35]

B Light is one of England's best young cricketers, saw them through to stumps.

I reckon that kid has a future.

 

[Crankitup]

Get the two gingers out early tomorrow and we'll be well on our way.

 

[Mateyman]

Smith's 211 continuing to look worse by the minute
