*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

[Riggins]

Siddle and Patpat in the same club side? If not who's the guy(s) better than patpat?

both play for dandenong iirc

 

[ajdude]

although lack of a #shanewatsonthoughts a let down

a regular shane watson.

sounds like the rain's back

 

[benchmark00]

cold and dark here, but not raining.

Just looked outside, lights are on.

Siddle and Patpat in the same club side? If not who's the guy(s) better than patpat?

Yep. Not sure how much they've played together or anything, but both from Dandenong.

 

[Pothas]

I'd rather we get back to some rain.

Nah I want England to save this match. Australia deserve to win it as things stand.

raining

in victoria

 

[Bushranger]

The thing that I was most offended about Bushranger was that he said Patto was our best bowler. He's not even the best bowler from his club team!

Siddy forever, Patto sometimes forever, but other times never.

I think he is very good considering people forget he is only 23. Give him 3 years he could be in the top 3 in the world. And what do you mean he is not even the best club team bowler. His shield averages were pretty good and by far the best Victorian. But im a huge Siddle fan as well.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah so they wasted 40 minutes then.

 

[Riggins]

starc unsurprisingly starts off this feature with a wide half volley.

 

[Spikey]

Just looked outside, lights are on.

look again now

 

[ajdude]

Yep. Not sure how much they've played together or anything, but both from Dandenong.

patto's played most of his cricket up there iirc, siddle played for latrobe in morwell for a few years, only started at 14 i think

ftr ajdude once scored 20 against latrobe in like under 14s or something

 

[Adders]

Nah I want England to save this match. Australia deserve to win it as things stand.

LOL....Australia don't deserve to win anything....ever.

But point taken.....I was off the same view first thing bit somehow at 35/3 I've changed my mind.

 

[Dan]

Yep. Not sure how much they've played together or anything, but both from Dandenong.

Christ, imagine facing up to that opening pairing on an underprepared grade pitch.

 

[Riggins]

i like that unlike his idol mitchell johnson, starcey seems to have no interest in being classified an all rounder.

 

[Cabinet96]

Should have delayed Lunch.

 

[King Pietersen]

Just seen the Cook review. What on Earth was he thinking? That was stone dead, and looked that way live. Ridiculous review.

 

[MW1304]

but will he be on debut or not

nothing like a good debut performance imo

Lucky to get a game ahead of Pattinson though.

 

[morgieb]

Should have delayed Lunch.

How long should the rain last?

 

[Cabinet96]

How long should the rain last?

Most forecasts that I've seen have suggested it might stop tomorrow...

A lot have said it might be fine for the evening session though.

 

[Spark]

I seriously don't like what's coming up on the radar...
