What kind of rubbish airline are you flying that doesn't have wifi on long haul flights these days

EDIT: I am fully aware that the list of such rubbish airlines includes Qantas
You know I’m not sure. It’s just TUI’s own airline (package thing). I didn’t even consider wifi but I’ll check. If they do that pretty much sorts the flight

Can you receive text scores ?

it’s been years since I was on a flight like this
in fact it was the last test in 2005 and we were on a flight to Cuba and on landing there was no news of how that test was going

The daughter had her wedding there .

If you get the chance I recommend Cuba for a holiday

we stayed at Hotel Brisas in Guardalavaca

Don’t think so, maybe the pilot can get me an update

going the Dominican Republic so not far from Cuba all things considered

Hi Carty. Just to let you know I’m in a choral society and we’re doing a concert tonight, rehearsal this afternoon, so you won’t be seeing me on the forum until very late, or at all. Hope there is some cricket for everyone else to watch…. I’ll set TV to record, just in case..
Hey MF All these years and you never let on you were into choral music Doubt if we will get any play today but we are not yet half way through this test, Requiem [n Bb?

Don't think Aus will mind if today's rained out, honestly. Should slow down the outfield a ton, which is better for them than it is ENG batting in the fourth dig.
Bit of a double edged sword though, as it'll give the England bowlers a day to properly rest, meaning Wood should be fresh enough to go full out when (if?) play resumes.

this rain works in Englands favour way more. They can just go hard out if they need like 250 in two sessions or whatever. And then play for a draw if they’re like 3 or 4 down. It’s going to hard for Aus to bowl them out though in like two sessions

Pretty ordinary that more hasn’t been made of the crowd’s treatment of Smith in his 100th test

Even worse was his treatment from the England team

Second best batsman ever should get some degree of respect
