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

[Coasters7]

So now we get to watch a replay of a test from 4 years ago at Old Trafford rather than watching the current test.

I hope you are all happy now, this is what we want to watch, replays of test cricket rather than watching live test cricket, let's all celebrate.

Yes.

 

[rank and file]

Well the rain looks like ruining this test and the series going to a decider with it locked at 2 all, it's a sh*t way to decide what has been a great series.

Australia might retain the Ashes if today is rained out but it's a hollow way to retain them and not the finish this series deserved.

It deserved to be decided by cricket, not by rain.

*Ashes
Need more action on climate change.
Can't expect Bairstow to do all the heavy lifting.

I for one think Marnus Labuschagne batted beautifully with Mitch Marsh and scored an amazing test century under pressure yesterday. Such a gutsy performance deserves to save the test match. The draw is a fair result.

He should get MOM, he batted in condition 10x more difficult than Crawley did and under extreme pressure.

When is there likely to be an official decision?

Tea would be the earliest as they’d need a minimum of an hr to get the ground ready

When is there likely to be an official decision?

I still think it's a couple of hours away.

Thought I'd go back to SEN see if there's more Bumble, there about to replay interview with Bumble if anyone is interested

(Yes I'm a swifty)

I like one Tay Tay song, that's not bad for a person of my vintage.

 

[TigerCraig]

No, because the water supply comes from the tap

Most pools are 90% piss ;-)

 

[The King!]

Yeah but some of you are celebrating the rain rather than wanting to watch test cricket being played.

Like I said before, I question whether some people here are actually test cricket fans, I would rather watch cricket being played than no cricket at all.

Rather win the ashes

That's because you aren't an Australian cricket fan......

Another English commentator leading the crusade to change the start and finish times.

Also hilarious that he thinks today is going to be the straw the breaks the camels back.

why does this suddenly matter.

As a neutral maybe. All we care about is the result. As I’m sure English fans would if tables were turned.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We're two games out with two of out games being Port and Brisbane away.

We're not making the finals.

Even for you surely you aren’t calling a Port game an away game it’s still in Adelaide. Brisbane is tough but you should have won today and that’s harder

 

[Scott Tracy]

Assuming theres no change, do people reckon Stokes will save everyone some time and agree to shake hands with Pat in an hour or so? or wait until its impossible to get a result?

 

[ams4crows]

Was a great game at least. Surely Rankine is back for finals though

High grade Hammy could be 8 weeks Plus, that loss today means we probably won't make it, might play the kids now, which will be good

9 showing Manchester 2019 now

Still fantastic signs moving forward love watching Dawson and Mickalaney

I don't think they can play more than three hours without a break. With 7:30 being the official end, tea will likely be called at 4:10. If there's still rain after the tea break then we're done. We'll know for sure in roughly two hours, I reckon.

I got my tickets.... Did you?

Bumble interview from early hours of this morning has started. Brilliant interview

 

[Jimthegreat]

Why the hell is Ian Healy giving us analysis on the swimming?

Not much cricket to talk about.
