Cricket Season Thread

[Winston Churchill]

Every weather site has differing predictions re: rain today.
Additionally, they are changing their predictions frequently.
One I saw said it’ll start raining at 4pm and go through till after 830pm. That same website is now claiming it’ll be clear for the rest of the day….

I think our mindset should be get through to stumps today and quite possibly that’ll be enough as they are all reporting decent rain all day tomorrow.

Marnus just got his century but I can't see them lasting the day. Marsh will have a blood rush soon enough then it's all over. Hard to imagine they can last another 35 overs today with the way they have been going.

Poor light means England can’t bowl their quicks and seamers.
They go to tea soon. Just make it to that. These guys are doing a good job under the circumstances.

Marnus with a good knock but was a bit stiff, Bairstow finally catches one.

They may not come back out if the light is not good enough and just as I say that Tubby and Token Shelia have come on the tv umbrellas up, and it’s raining again.

I'm over here at the moment. There is a weather anomaly that is completely stuffing the UK summer. All four seasons in a day at multiple times depending on where you are. I was in Nth Scotland today and it was perfect. In the south now and the seasons are rotating every half hour or so. Hope to get a day in on the 5th test. We will see!

I just read Bairstow has finally had his say on that stumping. Instead of being a decent human and owning his mistake he deflects like he’s never done it and wouldn’t want to set that kind of example for kids.
Then doubles down and blames his crap form with the gloves on an injury, (8 missed chances in the first 3 tests).
Not the kind of example I want for my kids Johnny.

Lucky Bastido!!!
I hope you make it to the 5th test, and if you do please send us some live updates and commentary.
Happy Travels and may the holiday gods shine on you with first class upgrades for the rest of your journey.

Praying for heavy rain tomorrow so the 4th test is a draw.

Cmon Aussie

I love how England are so butt hurt over the rain when it has saved them plenty of tests and as a result series wins over the years. The double standards and hypocrisy. It's like a lefty with raging TDS thinking Biden is good President.

 

[Tucker]

They are predicting a tonne of rain today.
That session last night was the only fight I’ve seen from Australia this test so far.
It could have won us the Ashes.

Only spinners bowling, too dark for the quicks - but check out the umpire:

Vale Great wicket keeper Brian Taber at age 83.🙁

Before the whirl of Gilchist, when keepers had one job!

No wonder everyone thinks umpires are blind.
If you pan down you’ll see his seeing eye dog.

Those old days when if a keeper’s average was double digits you had yourself an all rounder.
I keep them with my street directory.

I didn't say he had no soul 😏
