can’t see anymore here today

I’m not surprised at all. We’ve been in this position a lot of times previouslyThe forecast is pretty bleak for the rest of the day - that could well be it.
Tricky conditions for us - up against the new ball in those conditions - it doesn't get any tougher. That's the rub of the green in England - I wouldn't attach much blame to the openers.
He said it’s a rubbish pitch?No the pitch still ****ing sucks, sorry. The bowlers shouldn't have to rely on the weather forecast to get a millimetre of seam movement - on either side.
It's all about the overhead conditions in England, always has been, always will be.Remember how we said it was overheads and not pitches in England that counted @Ashes81
Absolute rubbish pitch suddenly it's overcast/humid and it's a different game.
Spark vs Pitch is the real battle here.He said it’s a rubbish pitch?
Ngl this is a weird ongoing rant. Not sure anyone has said the pitch isn't terrible, it's just not the roadiest road ever.He said it’s a rubbish pitch?
were you the bloke who asked about betting on the draw yesterday? Somehow the draw odds have gone up even with the rainI’m not surprised at all. We’ve been in this position a lot of times previously
it’s all on pope, Brook, root and Stokes to get the lead over 280
Ffs seam movement is off the ****ing surface and not in the air. England is not exactly a place bereft of seaming deliveries and hasn't been for a good while now, stop spreading this nonsense about overheads please.Ngl this is a weird ongoing rant.

And yes, overhead conditions have more of an effect than pitch in the UK, most of our pitches don't do a lot. This has been true for ages.
I was. I thought 5/2 was a tempting betwere you the bloke who asked about betting on the draw yesterday? Somehow the draw odds have gone up even with the rain
...We've literally just seen perfect evidence of this. But yes, nonsense, of course.Ffs seam movement is off the ****ing surface and not in the air. England is not exactly a place bereft of seaming deliveries and hasn't been for a good while now, stop spreading this nonsense about overheads please.
Mate have you actually been watching this test.Ffs seam movement is off the ****ing surface and not in the air. England is not exactly a place bereft of seaming deliveries and hasn't been for a good while now, stop spreading this nonsense about overheads please.
