3rd Test: Australia v South Africa @ SCG Jan 4-8, 2023

While I agree with the sentiment, twizzle, AG and Parraboy aren’t the same as Jansen, Nortje and Labs…

Sure but they also aren't the same as Khawaja and Marnus.

If anything grade/park cricketers play up (or down) a lot more often than these blokes. I've faced some absolutely frightening quicks in the murk...there's no light metres at O'Connor oval

It is the entertainment business at the end of the day.....definitely play on.

Ridiculous delay. Sometimes conditions don't favour the batsman. Too bad, get on with it. Swap in a pink ball if you must, but this sort of stuff is terrible for test cricket.

 

[Wizardman]

Imagine if you paid your hard earned cash on a ticket for today.......then see no cricket on a day with no rain. I'd be filthy!

I once played in fog so thick that myself and the square leg umpire had a quickie between overs and nobody noticed, included the square leg umpire.

I mentioned Marnus - I am not there so can't comment on the light, but the point was that at this level they're playing quite a different sport to club cricket - I want them to play on, and certainly some rules need adjusting, but park cricket really has little relevance

Pfft. It's not thick fog until you need to put the horse blankets on.

Is the The Davey Warner show gonna be a regular thing now Fox have hired him ?

 

[Bazal]

f**ken players ready and the umps are making them wait while they check the light.

And they're staying off. Christ this is a stupid game sometimes.

 

[yobbo84]

Hahahaha cricket is f**ked

 

[mave]

All because these two fools have set the precedent for the next 4 days.


Beyond fustrating.

 

[mozza91]

They can stick their stupid f**king light meter.

 

[Bazal]

LMAO it's been 'too dark' since 2pm but don't fret play has been extended to 7pm...

 

[Eelectrica]

Shift the game to Melbourne where it never rains and the sun shines all night.

 

[gUt]

Jim Maxwell & Moorey spitting fire

 

[mave]

At least we are playing again....pity 90% of the crowd rightfully gave up hope.

 

[Bazal]

Lol we come back and this f**ken storm knocks out my Fox reception.

Deadset

Just had 3 spots of rain in Newcastle. Surprised the groundsman aren’t rushing on with the covers.
