2019 ASHES: 4th Test Australia v England, Old Trafford Sept 4-9

[undertaker]

When I see how gloomy and crap the weather has looked so far during this Ashes series, all I can say is Thank God I don't live in England.

Smith is the leading run scorer in tests this year with just 3 matches..

Beautiful shot by Paine.

 

[hineyrulz]

Smith the leading test run scorer for the year in the just 4 innings.

Fkn LOL!!

They ain't joking when they say Australia is the lucky country....

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Smith into the nervous 140s. That was actually pretty funny from Athers

Or how Warnie was explaining how he would launch a verbal barrage on Smith if he was out there.

The bloke who has been booed since he first walked out and has scored over 500 after missing 2 innings?

Yeah. Hehe. Start talking shit to that guy.

 

[Eelectrica]

When Paine looms good with the bat, the pitch ain't doing much.
A couple of good balls, but they're not looking too troubled.

Gotta get 400+ I think.

Pommy heads are really down after the no ball. Chance for a really big score if the tail can hang around

Missed 3 innings which is even more impressive...

He scored 600+ runs last ashes series can he beat it?

Although I've never been there, rarely do I see photos or video footage in England of the consistent periods of sunshine most of Australia gets (excluding southern parts of Australia such as Melbourne).

I don't think I could handle such gloominess all the time, not to mention the feral hooligan-type behaviour, hearing about soccer 12 months of the year, cold winters....you name it.

The Goat to take 10 wickets in the match..

Get heavy beer in the GA seats at the cricket though.

And it’s crawling with Poms.

We're now in the beginning of spring in Australia, it will be 28 degrees in Sydney tomorrow.

Manchester can continue to keep the crap weather for 9+ months of the year.

Well, I don't drink so that doesn't affect me.

Why people go to a sporting event just to drink is a mystery. If people want to drink, just to do it at home infront of the big screen and you won't get ripped off by the exorbitant food and drink prices at the ground.

This is riveting tv.

Overton replaces Archer with the new ball.

Archer = one-hit wonder???
