Going to be a lot of play lost over the whole series unfortunately

5 days loss of play already confirmed here in Perth!
 
Strangest build up to an Ashes series Ive ever seen. Covid quarantine, no lead up games, non stop weather issues, Oz captain resigining in personal disgrace, no captain being announced until a few days before the 1st Test and uncertainity in who plays for both sides until the last few days.

All this intrigue probably means either a great test series or an absolute crappy standard one.

add to that a WAG stepping into the spotlight with "I don't like it, someone think of the WAGs"

This summer could be topped off with kym hughes type tearful event. I just hope it's the Poms and not us with the waterworks.
 
Can we please, please, for the love of all that is sacred, stop playing Test Matches in a city that's had more wash-outs than Dennis Rodman's hair!

Is the glasses wiping flog lining up as part of the first XI?
 
Weather wont be as bad as people are expecting. Maybe a bit of play lost the first 2 afternoons. Pretty similar forecast to the last shield match at the Gabba and very little rain fell at the Gabba except for one afternoon.
