I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

[the phantom menace]

0-134 after 37 overs... looking like a cake walk.

 

[parra pete]

Pommies praying for rain...

 

[Twizzle]

rain is forecast and unlikely we will face enough balls to get the win

They should have a spare day when Australia is in a winning position.....

Hopefully it dosent juice up the pitch. Warner getting a good start in the second innings is a rarity. Asking him to do it twice in 2 days is a stretch.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yeah, not looking good for much play over there today...

 

[parra pete]

If rain wipes out play, it'll be the second time this series that the stinking English weather has saved the pommies from defeat!!! -----and Piers Morgan has the hide to call US 'convicts'!!!!!

 

[Suitman]

If rain wipes out play, we actually win the Ashes, not just retain them.
I'd rather we chase down the runs, but if not, a washout is just as good.
Piers Morgan can suck a fat one.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ok, looks like it's not raining and clear to play.

Two sessions left, 146 runs to chase, 7 wickets to protect...

 

[the phantom menace]

Oh, ffs - now the umbrellas go up!

 

[parra pete]

Oh no, poor old Ben Stokes..."Did he just drop the Ashes"......Instant Karma?

 

[King-Gutho94]

Australia's drought of winning an ashes series in England will enter 26 years next time they are there in 2027.

Starting to enter Parramatta premiership drought territory if they fail again.

As you only get a chance every 4 years to win an ashes in England.

Dear Lord, in the battle that goes through life,
I ask but a field that is fair;
A chance that is equal with all in the strife
A courage to strive and to dare;

And if I should win, let it be by the code,
With my faith and my honor held high;
And if I should lose, let me stand by the road
And cheer as the winners go by.

And Lord, may my shouts be ungrudging and clear,
A tribute that comes from the heart,
And let me not cherish a snarl or a sneer
Or play any sniveling part;

Let me say: There they ride on whom laurel's bestowed
Since they played the game better than I
Let me stand with a smile by the side of the road
And cheer as the winners go by.

So how long till Warner gets dropped from all forms of cricket 0 runs overnight in the One dayer..

Marsh and Head should be the openers but for some reason the selectors think they need to be loyal...

But Candace said there is no one capable of replacing warner.

So unfortunately for us she has joined the selection panel and basically it's dire straits until OLED pisses off to the sunset.

PS imo there was a deal done with CA warner throws no one under the bus for sandpaper so he can get a farewell tour

 

[Twizzle]

He should never have been selected in the first place

 

[the phantom menace]

I'd just assumed he had retired from all forms of national cricket by now... can't believe he's still playing on, and getting selected.

He’s harder to get rid of than Bea Arthur.
