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

[Mr Meow]

Nice of Ch9 to at least show the Aussies choking at Headingley back in 2019, what a great day that was lol.

The bounce back the next Test to secure the Ashes was unexpected but delightful.

The 4-0 back at home a cherry on top.

This series, icing on top of the cherry.

- suck it up.

I'm not sure where you've got any idea that I haven't.

 

[Outshined]

Umps meeting groundstaff surely just to confirm that cricket can't be played on a lake.

England's Ashes hopes flatlined about 4 hours ago, let's just call this one.

Like you wouldn't be celebrating it the same if it was the other way round you stupid ignorant sore dipsh!t.

Funnily enough, he lives in Australia, but hates it, strange.

The vitriol you directed at us budding meteorologists who said there was a good chance we would only face 20 to 30 overs during the last two days!

There was a good chance you would end up right in the end but it was never over til it was over. The front looked like it could be missing the ground early tonight. Glad to be wrong

 

[The Casey Cat]

Nope, I am gloating. I am as bad a winner as the poms are bad losers.
The arrogant, disrespectful, hypocritical way they have carried on this series precludes them from any grace that is given to any normal cricket team.

Yep. I'd feel for just about any other opposition in this situation. Heck even India. Not England. They've carried on like hypocritical clowns all series. And they get smashed just about every test they play down here. F!ck them.

If it wasn't for the ECB pushing the Hundred competition this match wouldn't be so decisive. Because the schedule would overlap from the end of July through August. This would have been the second test in a normal schedule. In fact four years ago the first test of the 2019 Ashes was still one week away from starting.

The other side of that coin is that we wouldn't have played the first 2 tests in what was a record breaking June in terms of weather.

Ground staff probably telling them they can have the ground ready in 10 minutes after it stops raining.

 

[Santana]

Ridiculous they haven't called it by now


LOOK AT HOW HEAVY IT IS!!



Edit: IT'S OVER

 

[Teen Wolf]

YES!

 

[Peter Bixley]

Yep. England are going to go over 10 years without winning an Ashes series.

How sweet it is.

Crazy. My mate's son is 11. He'll be 13 in 2025 and obviously 15 next time it's in England. He won't know an England Ashes win until in his teens. I'm nearly 38 and I had to wait until I was 19.

That match has been abandoned. It's now official. Australia retain the Ashes.

 

[Whiskers]

Hoorayyyy it’s official. AUSTRALIA RETAIN THE ASHES

 

[Joffaboy]

DONE!

ASHES RETAINED.

So...the game would still be a draw?

Don't worry, I remained nervous. Especially when yesterday the rain surrounded Manchester in a circle for 3 hours without hitting it.

Today has been blessed relief.
