Well, as long as your cricket team doesn't perform like your rugby team did last weekend... Didn't your lads get bummed by Argentina at home?!?

Has it stopped raining yet

The worry about this inspection is that they say there's water on the deck, we can't look at it again for 30 mins and we lose this window

2.45 start provided no more rain

C'mon lads, let's get this done.

JimmyJeffers · July 22, 2023

Need a quick wicket to win this game you’d imagine. Looking relatively easy for them here

Probably didn't declare because they wanted Bairstow to get his 100...

I understand that, but it's a team game (as we all know), and given the weather forecast for today and tomorrow, the captain should have declared with a 200 lead, and sod any personal achievements, thus giving us adequate time to get them out, and if necessary get the required remaining runs.

Wouldn't have mattered so much if England had made sound decisions in the first test. Would be 1-1 going into the last test.

Wouldn't England be 2-1 up?

So Australia retain the Ashes. My prediction was wrong about this match, but not unhappy that the ultra nationalists that infest this thread are getting a dose.

There are people from many different countries on this site that support their own sporting teams but when English people support English teams you call them ultra nationalists. You really are stupid.
