5th Ashes Test England v Australia July 27-31 1930hrs @ The Oval

[Donakebab]

Typical bullshit weather. Here I am hoping this could be wrapped up at a reasonable hour.

90mins rain absolutely fucckks us.

Easily enough time to lose, pretty much no time to win

 

[The King!]

Stokes checking bigfooty

Stokes looking at the rain radar.

 

[Magma]

bairstow really looks like someone who was turned away from noddy for looking too weird

 

[The Tilt]

By all rights they should leave the ball out in the rain for 10 minutes or something.

 

[RookiePick]

Just as likely to get bowled out as win if the game was unimpeded by weather.

Rain might just steal too much time from the game for England to win and only leave the draw and Aussie win on the table.

 

[A Pom]

Should clear up around tea.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Well poop. I don't really know what to do know... I guess if it's 60-90 minutes rain it kills our chances, so I can probably go to bed?

[Neese]

Ah ffs, I'm going to wash the dishes

 

[FreoGirl]

is it really rain or salty tears?

 

[Balls In]

Match done 2:1

 

[philreich]

Is Ben Stokes related in some way to Herschelle Gibbs?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gibbs 2.0.

That combined with the Donald run out have always sat uneasy with me. Had always suspected match fixing.

146 runs still a mountain to climb.

England still in the box seat.

Just.Hang.On.Lads

England are $6 to win with Sportsbet. Hardly box seat.

 

[ams4crows]

As much as I'd love 3-1.... 2-1 also does the job that's still an Ashes win, will be a shame if the rain ruins the chase, but I'd rather a draw than us chase the win and losing all the wickets

 

[Bareth Garry]

Should be fine after 4pm. Last session could be 40 overs long depending on light.

Takes an hour to clean up so pretty much afternoon session is gone.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I got my answer and it appears it’s raining, thanks for all the prompt reports….

 

[FreoRicci]

Bairstow needs a hat refitting.

90 minutes rain. Still plenty of cricket to go. Does put runrate pressure on Australia unfortunately.
