Don't look good.

Looks positively dry compared to some of the days this spring.

Honestly, 20 minutes, half an hour of storm maximum.

Clearly England should just send Root home and call up their 6th and 7th choice pacers and they'll definitely win the series.

The sea breeze seems to be losing the battle with the storms out to west and south. Considering the wind is SE at Archerfield I think it'll be all over once the big outflow boundary crosses the area, effectively releasing that storm to move east.

I never expected to find this level of weather nerdery on cw but I am absolutely here for it

Cummins is a future ATG for sure,
spofforth,lindwall,lillee,McGrath and now Cummins.

Wow Jimmy would have been fire under these conditions. Where is that old man anyway? Must be injured.

England trying to use India's B team strategy to conjure some magic

Root is probably their 6th choice pacer.

Yes!

If anyone can get England back into this, it's Marcus Harris.

Just embarrassing that bloke could potentially play in two Ashes-retaining series when blokes like Siddons, Jamie Cox etc etc couldn't get a gig against like 90s SL or Zimbabwe.

Root is probably their 6th choice pacer.

bowls faster than most county seamers

That Nathan Lyon congrats on 400 wickets T shirt going to be a tattered rag by the time he gets it

Bloody 3pm storms. Right on school pick up every single time.

Taken a lot longer than that just to get there. Depends really on how quickly it moves, but it ain't moving that fast right now.

Ignore stephen, he's clearly not a true Brisbanite that can recognize the trademark afternoon storm on BOM.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I heard the commentary has been pretty bad.

 

[Gnske]

Appalling. Warnie has been absolutely hideous, won't let Isa get a word in. He's horrible. I hate him, he really shouldn't commentate. Howie has been a git, Gilly a typical Gen X weirdo.

All the comms are trash.

 

[honestbharani]

Did they really HAVE to take Tea knowing the bad weather is coming in?

 

[Croadymeister]

I heard the commentary has been pretty bad.

The trouble is unlike The Ashes here in 2019 commentators are far too home orientated. Feels very one sided when there is no Doull, Holding or Bishop to even things up.
