*Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

[S Chanderpaul]

Pathetic decision.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Even if England save this from here, they're in a bad place going to Lords.

edit: I don't think it was a terrible decision, thought it was pretty close live. Should have been given not out though.

I've got say England getting what they deserved after their performance in the field today. No enthusiasm or energy constantly slowing the game down waiting for rain. And as happens many a time have taken that attitude into bat.

lol @ singing in the rain...lets hope not.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Poor decision, but not the worst.

6-0 here we come.

 

[ripper868]

Australias Session?

 

[Kyle]

Australias Session?

Just about.

 

[sephiroth123]

Tea and probably an end to the days cricket I suspect.

The press in Eng were filthy this morning

Imagine what they'll be like tomorrow!

 

[TT Boy]

The covers are coming on. Shouldn't be any play after tea for a while.

 

[ripper868]

Right, this rain going to stay the rest of the day?'Cause if it is I'm gonna remove my scrotometer and got bed.

 

[TT Boy]

Now pissing down. See you tomorrow...

 

[Jamee999]

Talking of 4 100s in an innings, I think it was 1993 when Australia's top three all got hundreds (at Lord's???), and then Mark Waugh got out on 99, and there was a bloke somewhere who had put like £1 on the top four to get centuries, at like thousands to one. Can't remember the exact story, but it was something like that.

EDIT: MA Taylor 111, MJ Slater 152, DC Boon 164*, ME Waugh 99

 

[sephiroth123]

Very likely the rain is going to stay for most if not all the day. Wouldn't totally rule out maybe late day play but I think chances are probably low given the rain has taken its time reaching Cardiff in the first place.

 

[TT Boy]

Child beater Roebuck on 5 Live. Tosser.

 

[Nate]

Poor form rain.

 

[ripper868]

Now pissing down. See you tomorrow...

Thanks mate, and good night...Won't be around much tomorrow night, work in the morning, and we'll have won by lunch anyway providing the rain stays away.

 

[TT Boy]

Forecast is good for tomorrow, so no worries that Aus won't win this.

 

[Kyle]

Serious amount of rainophiles in this thread.

Anyway, I've given up with commenting upon umpires' decisions after the KP's first innings but if there has ever been a better advertisement for technology than this test then I give up
