I’m trying to be optimistic, obviously!
Of course. But in fairness. It's still boggy. And there is still drizzle in the air. I personally think its too earlyBut that also includes clearing all the overnight rain that fell, no?
I understand the math. I just don’t recall Australians ever being in this type of position.Well there is zero chance of winning and a draw could retain the Ashes so
Who’s side are you on?Of course. But in fairness. It's still boggy. And there is still drizzle in the air. I personally think its too early
The pitch is boggy. There is rain building in Wales at the moment which is coming over. So an hour might be the only playI doubt it will that much drier at 245 than it was at 2.
It's ridiculous they wait so long after making the decision to restart play.
Get them out there.
England of course. I'm also (Perhaps too much) cautions with weather and all thatWho’s side are you on?
no thats just them practicing their batting against swing bowlingAnderson and Woakes Swing. Woods pace and Broad's movement
Australia won't handle the pace of it all. Rumours of a rain dance being played in the Australian dressing room
Haha they need itno thats just them practicing their batting against swing bowling
180 ball? Is that the ECB's new format for the One Day Cup?Not true
aus will not surrender in even 180 ball
After this rain? Derek Underwood. From both ends.If it's 10-15 overs, would you start with Wood and Woakes or a brief 2-3 over spell from Broad?
For comparison, when they got on after a waterlogged day at Headingley two weeks ago, Australia were 116 for 4 - and England bowled them out in 20 overs
Well we might as well compare more games played then.1000 runs scored was the point, not averages
how many did they score v England in comparison to Broad having over a 1000 v Australia
simple comparisons please not averages
We're ok with missionary, the chairman, butter churner, or the pretzel dip. What England have done here though is blindfold us, tie us to the bed, and then bring all their friends in for a look. It's akin to assault. Unsurprisingly, it's still one of the least heinous acts they've carried out during this Ashes series.I understand the math. I just don’t recall Australians ever being in this type of position.
I'm glad the ground is south of where I am....@Groundking how are the skies?
