Lol way to hype up an ashes opener first you got the flattest pitch you’ll ever see in England then It’s pissing down rain and most the day gone.

England dodged a bullet there. Could have gone down crashing if it was a full session

Pretty sure tommo morning would be bright and sunny

This potentially applies to the declaration as well.

Having said that, I'm softening on the declaration decision the more I think of it. England clearly think now about time as much as runs, and want to operate within a specific limit first innings which seems to be 80 overs (has this happened before?). Probably the only question I'd have is if they would've declared 5 down, 6 down, whatever or if it's a hard and fast rule

Be careful mind. I was hammered on this thread for trying to support the declaration

what you are saying is clearly how England have operated for about a year though

good for you the Aussies might be in bed currently
