    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    The great thing about Ashes series in England is that they are usually competitive. Though when you think of the reverse (series in Aus) there is a whole generation of pom cricketers who have never known the feeling of winning a test match in Australia. For instance Stokes and Root have had...

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    Disappointing this. With enough time I think we could have knocked that deficit off and thrown the bat for a while before declaring, and set the poms a tricky target. There goes our chance at 4-1. Still, great declaration from Stokes. Always worth letting things drift to let your mate get a...

    So the Poms "threw away" a couple of tests. Enjoying this. :laugh:

    Hope so. If one of Marsh or Green get out early, this could be over very quickly.

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    Oh sorry, didn't know there was another Australia. I was talking about that big culture free desert off the coast of New Zealand. :laugh: We need rain.

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    Exceeded my expectations. Thought it would only need a session.

    Marsh obviously got the memo. Trying to hoik 'em over the fence. :laugh:

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    Trying to set 180 before lunch might have been enough. Faint hearts these Mac/Stokes fellas, play their cricket way too conservatively. :laugh: #nogutsnoglory Will thoroughly enjoy this if the rain doesn't stop.

    If the poms get 20-30 overs the Aussies are highly likely to fold like a cheap suit I think. Still rain dancing.

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    True enough, I edited but not quick enough. Thought it was still worth a mention.

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    Not stranded but still, don't forget Warney, that was surely one of the better ones. Out for 99 off a no ball. :laugh:

    *Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

    What will be even funnier (if said rain does eventuate) is the extra time Stokes threw away to allow Bairstow to get a "half century". :laugh:
