May be an unpopular call but I'll be gutted if this is rained out.

a) They deserve the win
b) 2-2 going into the last Test would be amazing
c) What a lacklustre way to 'decide' the series it would be

Hope the rain stays away.

Alternative opinion: It'd be glorious to witness the monumental English whingeing.

Also, when you're 2-1 up and you hold the urn, it's fair enough if you get a decent bit of luck with the conditions. Which so far this series, have almost exclusively favoured England.

Yeah, considering how England decided to award themselves the first test that they lost fair and square, I can't wait to see how they react if a test they dominated is rained out and it costs them the series.

Moral Ashes winners.

And yet you seemed happy when Perth stole a draw against the Beagles a few weeks back. Interesting.

I get where you are coming from and feel the same in some ways... also, I am disillusioned with some of our strategy decisions in the last couple of tests.

But, England have won all four tosses so far and in doing so, have generally had the best of the conditions, so a bit of luck going our way wouldn't hurt.

I can't recall us bowling under gloomy skies yet. Have we?

Maybe in the first session yesterday? Before we had to bat in those conditions.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Oh no.

 

[MrWoollie]

I live an hour south of Manchester and I can assure you that the weather is currently terrible. Has rained all night so getting the ground dry will be fun even if it stops.

We had a 30 minute session in the first Test, took 2 wickets and had them all at sea.

Man love Binga and Piers is a knob...but I can't watch that back without cringing. Average stuff IMO.

 

[Astro7]

Piers Morgan, what a royal tosser!? Love a good travesty!
I love it when the Poms lose, no apologies. And if they lose after playing
exceptionally well (batting+bowling), all the better! (after all that sanctimonious crap with Carey v. Bairstow)

 

[Dazzler9]

Uh-oh, "inspection at 2pm local time" (9pm Perth time). Time to re-start the rain-dances folks.

Sounds like the rain is gone until 11ish. Need to survive the shortish session there'll be before then.

 

[Keys]

Let the humiliation begin again

 

[Mulldogg]

Again Woakes looking threatening bowling good lines and lengths suited to English conditions.

Not constantly banging it in half way down with men out on the hook.

Bison ball on hold, he is playing well
