4th ASHES TEST: @ Old Trafford, Manchester July 19-23, 2023

[Fangs]

Oh baby it's rainin' rainin'

 

[mozza91]

Ah sweet rain. May it never stop.

 

[This Year?]

I hope it rains all day.
I'll be shocked if we can bat long enough to force a draw or get to a decent lead.
Our bowling this test has been poor and batting has been OK.

 

[Eelectrica]

Hope they spend the time not playing today reviewing bowling strategies and field placements instead of working on their solitaire game.

[Bazal]

It's not rain. It's Piers Morgan's tears

 

[jargan83]

Oh no. It's raining again.

So what is everybody's preferred weather radar for the UK?

 

[Port Stephens Magpie]

How long do we have to stay up to see Australia retain the Ashes

 

[Hutty1986]

Cricinfo inexplicably down again. How are we looking??

 

[JokerEel]

C'mon how good would it be to be 9 down behind by 1 then it starts pissing down rain and it gets called

 

[Fangs]

 

[Port Stephens Magpie]

I'm the only one on here saying go for the win while you're praying for rain you cat

You must be in meltdown mode tonight dude

[Chins get the wins]

You must be in meltdown mode tonight dude

My mother was/is an ice addict so I can read the signs. Something is definitely up with you

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Covers are off

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Radio man said pitch inspection in 20, lunch brought forward to 12:20. Earliest start will be 1 then.

Your mother was probably on ice during the pregnancy with you ya tripper!
Are you still wanting the Aussies to try & force a result today??

 

[King-Gutho94]

My gut feel is if this ends up a draw with the rain.

England will rock up the 5th test deflated after being denied by the rain and despite polarising us here we probably win and it ends up 3-1.

While if England managed to win today they will go on and win 3-2.
