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

Now it sounds like there might be a session of play rather than just half an hour. I cannot see us lasting 2 whole sessions. If so whoever bats the longest is a superstar.

Congrats on the Ashes, England.

Haha they need it

Chris. hinton weather report 100% correct ( 24 hrs before)

Revised session timings
2nd session: 14:45 - 17:00

The ground is too dangerous to play. Disgraceful scenes

Cheating groundsman. Wouldn't happen in Australia.

lots of intermittent rain drops until 7pm. so not a full session surely. maybe 45mins of actual play.

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.

For a look? They’ve queued up and all had a go on you this test. Must be sore!

Updated radar on cricinfo suggests we may get a full session in - guessing that’s what morgieb’s latest bout of pessimism came from

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Eng vs Nz wc
Eng wants before the game starts so they get WC

Now Stokes desires 3/2 right after back to back 2 defeats in On going series.

Wow so i assumes eng will also win at Oval

Oh man welcome to the rest of us. Never thought thought I’d see the day.

I think if Australia does survive 70 overs, it's less of a cheat too. Drawing because the last two days was completely washed out would feel wrong. If Australia dig in and get the draw, it would be a genuinely decent achievement in the circumstances.

Yeah agree.

Jammy English *****

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Why is Anderson bowling? Give it to Wood or Woakes.
