Is there 24/7 security? Maybe someone from the English snuck in overnight and sabotaged the covers.

It was probably Prince Harry.

England has the best pitch coverings in the world, Australia are still in the dark ages when it comes to covers.

For all the shit we give the current commentators, they are still a thousand times better than the nadir of commentary James f**king Brayshaw.

@Tommy Smith A Darsh doing this...... its just not right

I've picked a great time to go on hols far away from wifi and a reliable Internet connection.

Seriously was the pitch that flat and the bowling that shit, and was Mud Marsh great?

Anyway, my 5nil prediction is well on track.

Pitch flat but you guys bowled really bad on day 3

You will be saved here because the incompetent clowns at the WACA let the pitch get wet and we have lost an entire session at least

 

[Eelectrica]

To be fair it's probably the first time since 1977 the pitch covers have had to be used in WA.

I'd rather we weren't saved.

Or at least we don't deserve it I should say.

Steve Smith and your bowlers have earned this. Smith though... greatest batsman in 70 years. Freak.

Jesus cricket is a wank of a game sometimes.

If its not bad enough that they call it off because the sun went behind a cloud now we can't play because its a bit wet.

Just play you soft cocks

The pitch has been altered which makes it unfair for the Poms.

Useless WACA ground staff are to blame.

Ian Chappell has a story about that

Ian Chappell has a story about that

Helluva story. It involved one DK Lillee, Rodney William Marsh and a helluva lot of friars balsam.

 

[Eelectrica]

Ian Chappell had a story about that

The game needs a good Chappeli story about the last time it rained at the Waca.
And that time their was a helluva shower when his grandfather was at the Waca in 1737.

I bet he has a helluva cure his grandfather used on a damp pitch too

 

[King hit]

Think we have a draw here

Ian was there when Dirk Hartog was laying the covers at the WACA.

Conditions change. They get paid a shitload to play a game, play the f**king game.

No other sport on the planet sooks as much about weather and shit like cricket.

Seriously how did a game so vulnerable to bad weather ever kick on in England?

If test cricket dies it will be its own fault.

Yeah but did Dirk Hartog bat at 3 and Captain his country?

If not he's soft.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

If nothing else, the rain at least provides a reminder of how lucky we are not to have to listen to that bent Victorian Gayshaw anymore.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

All that hot air in the channel 9 commentary box...get em down on the pitch.

As much as I hate the reality of it, it's the reality.
If the shoe was on the other foot etc.
