its also the fault of the selectors for persisting with jimmy

Would be the mother of all buzzkills if rain does kill this off with Aus needing like 140 to get with 7 in hand.

Stupid exciting Test cricket. Barely letting me get any work done around here!

I have to go to bed soon.

I probably won't.

Also annoying.

Agony. It's already looking easier out there too, Jimmy aside.

 

[slowfinger]

this pitch is way too good to be a day 5 pitch

Rain already ruined this series once. Imagine if it was 2-2 and set up in the same way?

Would have been one of the atg series.

Smith makes Broad looks docile, ffs stop being a gun for 1 ball.

They can play till about 8pm tonight if they need to and the weather from 4pm onwards is sunny.

Would be the ultimate final troll of the English tbh.

No doubt Baz and Stokes will twist the moral win.

It'll only look easy until the next new ball, probably due about over 59

Pitch, you say?

Or until midnight if you ask Joe Root.

Europe needs to deal with its sun problem.

Yeah, with Moeen,Root and Brook bowling.

No chance in this light.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Word is Canada are requesting a ball change at the WWC as well.

The refs would probably hand them a 47 over old duke.

I mean it would take a drastic change in the presentation for there to the rain to last any less than 3-4 hours.

 

[Gnske]

Jimmy bowling over the colostomy bag. Good to see

 

[ripper868]

Reports im looking at show only about 10% chance of rain rest of the afternoon. We may get a proper full day in.

Wont need it.

Australia scoring at almost 4 rpo and Marsh will have a go.

This will almost be over either way by tea.

Holy **** this hack.
