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

He will be sooking at 11pm why aren't we trying to get on the field now

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.

It's actually kinda cute how you have elevated yourself to the position of Arbiter of True Test Cricket Fans.

Interesting pun on Cricinfo, "Water way to retain the Ashes."

 

[grumbleguts]

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

And as he would if the tables were turned. He hates Australia, Australians and fun. Cries himself to sleep.

Nothing better than retaining the Ashes due to English weather in England.

Their tears shall be salty

If positions were reversed you know the Poms would be celebrating it just as hard

 

[Moonwatcher]

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

It was rare back then. Now it's multiple times a series.

Interesting is an interesting word in this context.

 

[CrowBloke]

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.

My JOYOUS schadenfreude at your post will keep me up all night, buzzing from the salt overdose, but thanks.

It might still be "decided by cricket", mate.
I'm now praying to the wickedest of evil Cricket-Gods to give Oz a 2-1, or 3-1 result after FIVE Tests.

 

[A Pom]

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

The suggestion that it's just part of a game and we should never even consider looking at reasonable ways in which we can change the game to maximum play is ridiculous.

Look at these shots from starc

Would make a good Mighty Boosh character

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.

No I would want to watch the Saints win a flag by playing football, not by default due to bad weather.

Winning isn't everything, I watch football and cricket because I like watching those sports, I would rather see my team lose than not watch them at all.

 

[AJ_2000]

why does this suddenly matter.

Because bazball can't overcome the weather

Seriously bizarre that rain impacts results, but today it's a huge problem for cricket.

I have more issue with sharing the WTC if the game is a draw than working rain impacted tests.

If they hadve gotten a wriggle on an declared halfway through that morning session...

Bowl us out and then have the overs yesterday to chase down whatever we got over their tally.

Hard to be critical of a side that scored at 5.5 an over, but lift that rate a little and a more aggressive declaration....

 

[Jimthegreat]

Hehe.

 

[AJ_2000]

I got my tickets.... Did you?

Yaaassss!

 

[Santana]

They were still booing him after a 200 lol

I forget how salty 2019 was sometimes

 

[TigerCraig]

Loo

K like garbos

Look like garbos

 

[LukeParkerno1]

GOAT robbed of a ton

 

[grumbleguts]

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?

Led Zeppelin IV.

Winning isn't everything,

Sorry, what?

OT would be pumping right now. With them cheering each time they added covers to the square
