4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[Burgey]

Bloke knocks off $260 worth of champagne, cops turn up and he tells the manager in front of them he’ll pay him $50 and they’ll call it square.

 

[King Pietersen]

Nice here now, well, dry anyway. Not rained for a good hour, hopefully will get more play today.

 

[OverratedSanity]

So if rain doesnt interrupt again, they're going to play for like an hour and then stop for tea. ****, I hate test cricket sometimes.

 

[aussie tragic]

Games starts at 4pm which was the scheduled end of tea. Now tea is going to be at 5:30 after players just had a 3 hour break...

 

[King Pietersen]

Cricket really does shoot itself in the foot sometimes. So ****ing dumb.

 

[ajdude]

this has got broad and archer ripping through australia in a session written all over it

 

[Compton]

Pitch already showing a spot of inconsistent bounce. Reckon Lyon will fancy this pitch on day 5.

 

[aussie tragic]

Four 50's in a row for Labuschagne, 2nd batsmen picked now

 

[Cabinet96]

Four more to Smudge's total there.

 

[Compton]

Four more to Smudge's total there.

Sees it like a beachball.

 

[King Pietersen]

Oh **** off rain.

 

[Cabinet96]

Classic case of rain ending as soon as the covers are on.

 

[King Pietersen]

No doubt we'll be off the field for half an hour, and they'll still take tea at 5.30.

 

[aussie tragic]

Talking of Labuschagne having 4 fifties in a row, Steve Smith now has 7 50+ scores in a row vs England.

239, 76, 102*, 83, 144, 142, 92

 

[Burner]

Why isn't Archer bowling fast

 

[Burgey]

Shot that

 

[Burner]

Been a very terrible couple of overs from Broad.

 

[ajdude]

why isn't bairstow wearing a hat

 

[Burgey]

England must be loving the ball staying down on day one.

Used to hate bowling and fielding in the cold wind. Just can’t get a rhythm.

Archer too short here. Overdoing it

 

[Compton]

I always enjoy rare events in cricket; like hat tricks, or Broad not being interested in an appeal off his bowling.
