Another WR could go In the relay

How good does that vision on 9 GEM look!

I would rather we won a series by us playing cricket than winning it by default due to the weather.

Australia might retain the Ashes due to it raining for the best part of 2 days but it's hardly anything worth celebrating.

You are just celebrating the rain and not your team playing cricket.

I thought both Labuschagne and Marsh play excellent cricket in very trying condition

 

[hoss]

Have to wonder if people here are true cricket fans praying for rain.

I want to see this test and this series decided by cricket not by the weather.

This will be a massive anti climax if they can't get back out there today to decide it.

I'd argue that it's probably the first couple of times in 4 tests where the weather has gone Australia's and not England's way.

Yeah sure if it was a one off test with some odd rule that if it rains Australia win, then yes ok

 

[RandB]

The longer England batted and pissed away their bowling window, the more the crowd kept trumpeting and chanting the tune to 'The Great Escape'.

I mean, it was so ironic it was surreal.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Does this mean we can finally drop Warner?

No-one to replace him. With a 43, 36, 66, 25, 32, 28, 3 or 4 x 50 run opening stands, not great but I expected way worse. About the best we have there.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lol look at this relay haha

we are still winning the series.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Record could go by seconds lol

 

[kickazz]

We only got into the position by being better overall

Winning the last ashes and being up in the series

so yeah * england

Yeah funny that.

MCcullum "oh in a way it will be better winning it from 2 nil down"

What a spanner

 

[Headless]

Looks like I’ll get a good nights sleep tonight too Heady. Manchester is fast becoming one of my favourite destinations.

Perhaps a nice restful tea before bed would be suitable, BLUE.

Everyone knew we’d lose most of day 4 & 5 to rain. What did Stokes do differently for this?

Played good enough cricket for the first 2 tests. What the **** were England doing?

Lololol

If a single event disproves climate change Mr Higgins, then a single event can therefore prove it.

I refer the esteemed Mr H to the current heatwave in southern Europe.

 

[Substance]

They deserve it after the antics at Lords which were an utter farce over dismissal. Serves them right

They absolutely deserve it after that hypocritical holier than thou crap they pulled at Lord's alone. But let's not forget the $#!T that a few of them spouted after edgebaston too.

I had a feeling that winning the first two Tests might work to our advantage somehow.

Love it!

If you could work in the MCC Long Room tantrum somehow....

"Time to die"

 

[Art Vandelay_]

1.32pm It's still raining. And England are playing keepy-uppy still. Here endeth the update.

Bevan: "As an Aussie, this match is giving me Toto vibes:"I bless the rains up in Manchester!"" Oh go on then.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

WORLD RECORD

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Not looking great think I might hit the hay.
I’m spewing in a way because we deserve to lose to call out our rubbish leadership and tactics.

Nah, the Poms have had so much luck in England over the years, so we are well overdue for some to come back our way.

 

[ams4crows]

Australian Women 4x100m relay just smashed the world record and won Gold

Won by like 10m no country anywhere near us

 

[Southerntakeover]

It's genuinely unfair that England don't get to regain the Ashes just because they haven't won any of the last four series and lost the first two tests.

What time is the tea break?
