Name another sport as affected by a bit of rain as cricket.

Baseball?

I’m confused. It’s not new year and it’s not Sydney….

 

[TY24]

They should be starting 8am for the remaining 4 days. Brisbane have Arvo storms forecast for over a week.

Gotta love people who say ridiculous things like this every single test… yeah they can definitely reschedule an international sporting event to start 2.5 hours early with half a days notice. That’s a super easy job that they’ll definitely be able to do.

 

[Billy ray]

don't think the Sydneysiders would like to lose there new years day test

Eh. The question was how would the test series be ordered. I answered.

Those cities with wet summers come
first and second. Minimises chance of interruptions.

 

[Underarm]

How could you play the Adelaide and Perth tests ???.......seeing that Melb is always Boxing Day and the scg the new years test ??

don't think that would work

Easy. Move the new years holiday to the middle of December.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Paper plane throwing

The world paper plane championships in 1967 in the rain were a total shambles

Tennis, Golf.

Golf

Can't be that hard, have the players walk out at 8am. Crowd and staff can rock up when they want

 

[Around the Wicket]

Is it likely we will get play any time soon?

 

[sherb]

I stand corrected but I was taking the piss anyhow. Bloke was obviously a gun.

I got it........

Insult to injury .... instead of watching the Test match, we are now subjected to Andy Maher banging about Big Bash. I'm beginning to detest cricket season in Australia. Too much crap.

I have turned the telly off. Still have the radio on so will be alerted in the unlikely event that play resumes.

You've got a Test going on in NZ if you want to follow that.

There was talk around it last year and they cried an almighty amount.

 

[Cmarsh]

Tennis, Golf.

Golf I suppose but there are a fair few tennis venues undercover these days.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Numpty decision to move this test from the first slot.

Is it typically dry late November and wet mid December ?

 

[Billy ray]

Well i personally hope it gets washed out a few years in a row and they come crying begging to be rescheduled

They cry about having to sit backwards on the train.

It sucks because the last 3 days have been dry, but forecast looks awful for the next 5. Still pissing down here, I'm not expecting play to resume today.

Tomorrow looks fine, after that though it gets sketchy. However, the BoM are hardly accurate, they had this day being dry and sunny mid week lol
