Let's hope the rain stops in time for us to be presented with the Ashes, lol.
Though i assume this happens at 5th test?

It'll happen at the Oval

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?

Wait

I think for a significant series like the Ashes extra days should be scheduled in the result of wash outs.

We probably win in 2005 if that was the case.

Hard to do that with the way this series has been scheduled. 'The Hundred' starts 1 day after the Oval test is scheduled to finish.

 

[Whiskers]

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.

It’s actually been a really average series. Sure it’s close but it hasn’t been of a good standard.

Doesn’t really feel hollow, can’t go down 0-2 and just expect English weather to stay clear for another 3 tests and win every toss.

 

[Cyber_punk]

why does this suddenly matter.

9 times out of 10 over the last 20 years it's benefited the Poms agains Australia and other nations. The one time it doesn't all of a sudden it's a huge controversy and changes need to be made.

Typical English entitlement.

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.

Maybe earlier as they will need an hour at least for the ground to be playable

 

[Cmarsh]

Okay, I am back. Can't get to sleep.

Are they showing English tears on 9?

Showing S. Smith 2019 ashes. Pure sex.

 

[Purple Suit]

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.

Would you want Saints to win the flag if all you needed to do is not watch it happen?

Winning is the goal and drawing the 4th test gets us closer plus we now can’t lose and retain the Ashes.

It’s even sweeter due to the Poms carry on the whole series. We were robbed of a series win last time due to umpiring (Stokes plumb lbw not given). Surely you can respect its pay back.

So 1 rain affected match in a 5 test series and you claim it is a series decided by rain, not cricket.

I know you have an agenda, but this is next level stupid.

(Yes I'm a swifty)

For someone who's baffled by the pop culture phenomena that is Taylor Swift, what album would you recommend for me to listen to get an understanding of her popularity?

 

[danstar]

It'll happen at the oval

Putting SEN on and listening to Bumble should help u sleep

 

[Mr Meow]

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.

Delighted!

The match was saved by Marnus and Marsh yesterday. Maybe they should just be replaying that.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Plenty of cricket to come in this series -- at The Oval when we go 3-1 up.

LOL an Australian newspaper poll, most people that vote in those polls are Aussie supporting morons that probably aren't true test cricket fans.

The sort of mouth breathing Aussie supporting morons that chant "Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi" at any sports events with Aussies participating in them.

Ahh **** me I'm to gone, quoting the wrong people lol

Complete horse poo. If NZ were on the cusp of winning in india if there was a drawn test, you'd be flapping to the radar also

9 showing Manchester 2019 now

Smith masterclass

I like the part where leach gets smith off a no ball

It's been a fantastic standard for Bazball fans. Australia got bamboozled by it.

He'll ask the Spirit of Cricket and be guided by their response.

I would rather they officially called it off so we can all go to bed.

Rain out cricket matches are apart of cricket, let them tears flow though might just guarantee the match is called off.
