The Ashes 2023

Think it’s a disgrace these desperate Aussies are scared of a bit of rain

They're not scared of it, they will be loving it the longer is goes on.

 

[PITA]

He said England win a few pages back.

Probably just found out rain stops play.

He changes his mind like....................well the weather I guess. Amazingly, every time he does he knows he's right.

[Charro]

Not as many tears as Steve Smith though.

 

[Brennan]

Daft that we didn’t declare when 200 ahead really.

Extremely difficult to see how there will be enough play to take six wickets.

If we’d declared a couple of hours earlier yesterday we could have had six or seven wickets by now.

Spot on. That they kept on batting has probably lost them the series.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Start delaying? Watch this test end in a draw… Jammy Aussies!!

Heard OceanGate are offering exploration trips to cricket pitches around the country today

They're cowards and definitely scared, you could play on whats coming down atm

nah, runs on the board creates pressure, two sessions worth pf play with cloud cover should see a result. Tomorrow looks better.

 

[Connor]

Met Office has a window between 12-3 with little to no rain currently

Biggest issue will be the clean up. OT is notoriously slow on the clean up, so that 3 hour window quickly becomes about 90 mins to an hour

 

[Mrbluenose]

This is all because we went 2 down, when really we should have been better than that, sadly.

I doubt there will be 60 overs of play over the next two days.

Australia were never going to win this test once we got 200 ahead with the weather rolling in, so all we did by batting for an extra 90 minutes was decrease our own chance of winning.

Pressure is irrelevant if we don’t have enough time to actually bowl them out.
