Just turned it on so didn't hear it all but did Gower say pitch inspection at 11.15?

 

[Steak Pie]

Inspection done, play to start at 12.15, rain permitting.

Toss at 11.45.

England win the toss and bowl.

 

[Dexter]

Grey skies, rain in the air?

Sadly for Jimmy it means any wickets he takes will be declared null and void. :-(

Worse. A touch of grass on the pitch means all Jimmy's wickets in this Test are subtracted from his career totals. :-(

Damp green tops or 40 degrees without a cloud in the sky in Aus and it makes no difference. Class is class

 

[Mr Redknapp]

The ball is swinging both ways after it passes the bat

 

[essex boy]

I am gonna say a prayer tonight that this rain follows us round for the next year then Jimmy will be the greatest ever and we will be number 1

When the options are that or look at some bloke on the Metro who looked like Bumble, no.
