4th Ashes Test England v Australia July 19-23 1930hrs @ Old Trafford

[The_Todd07]

That's why the other old Trafford has roof ..





* pretty sure it's got a roof .

It does not

But they play a sport that continues in the rain so less of an issue

Switch over and see A.Titmus smash everyone in the 400m freestyle and obliterate the WR.

I finally switched over as she was doing her interview. Spewing.

Warner for double tonne and he holds off retirement until the next Ashes

A Warner and Smith 200 stand and a Green and Carey 100 stand would be just the ticket.

Show me more of that rain, it's giving me a semi.

Every time the Poms get a little hope at play resuming:

So they made footy to keep the cricketers fit and in shape .
Rounds a Sharpe...right .

An opposition player in our Ressies match yesterday got pinged for deliberate out of bounds.

In Ressies footy up here that is quite some achievement, given that 99% of the time the ball going out of bounds is a skill error.

She now has to be considered the greatest Tassie athlete of all time.

It's an interesting question.

You've got your obvious contenders, like Boon & Ponting in cricket.

In AFL, Hart, Baldock, Stewart, Hudson and more.

And then you've got this largely unheralded bloke:

Maybe top 6

Royce Hart
Ricky P
Boonie
Richo
Max Walker

Royce Hart? Pretty sure a world champion in a global sport trumps 70's VFL.

Roz saying it's unfortunate the covers are still on. What rubbish!

Only unfortunate for Channel Nine's ratings.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

There's not going to be any cricket today. Thats it, I'm going to bed. Cummins flukes another one, and god damn I hope Labs and Smudge are in the runs in the last test.

 

[Tassieboy]

So what time do we need to get to with no play? 5.30pm their time?

I don’t know but scheduled close is 6pm before extensions, does that mean they have to be on by then? I think it’s a moot point as the weather looks especially bad for the evening session.

Gee that was a poor Australian side in 2010/11.

No need to tell me. Went to Boxing Day to see us all out 98.

[Stax on the mill]

On Sportsbet England is $6 and the draw $1.13.

Now $12.50 and $1.04.

Fixed.

 

[The King!]

Green was out best bowler in this match, so ignore the extra batting he gives.

He did bowl well.

Can he be a third seamer and pick a spinner?

 

[Pancakes]

Maybe top 6

Royce Hart
Ricky P
Boonie
Richo
Max Walker

David Foster for sure. He won over 1000 titles.

[Peter Bixley]

We're probably a couple of hours away from counting down how much time and how many overs, but I'll start now.

Not a chance currently that they get on before 14:30 if you assume it stops raining now (which it hasn't). That's 5 hours, less 20 minutes for tea. Down to two sessions on a normal day, so maybe 60 overs.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Some professional gamblers would have made a killing from the draw in this game.

 

[The King!]

It is rain on your wedding day , not 5th day of the 4th test

 

[boncer34]

Bless them

Are they all ****ing simpletons or just their cricket fans?

 

[Retzlaff]

“It feels like we won”
“We played all the cricket”
“At 2-0 down, it felt like we had all the momentum”
“In the scorebook it says Jonny scored 99, but we congratulated him as if he scored a hundred”

Will England head out into the field shortly in the torrential rain because “it feels like it’s dry”?
