They wanna hope he is good at facing the new ball.

 

[Aleem Dar]

Wouldn't mind a rain effected draw. Something to play for up here.

 

[scotch]

I think Warner batted at 4? (Could be wrong) on his trip to SA.

Time Clarke took responsibility and moved up imo.

Protecting his back. Long days in the field then batting up the order doesn't give him much time to rest

100% this.

 

[Aidan11]

I hope it's 3-0 by the time they get to Durham.

I want 5-0. I want those Aussies ground into the dirt begging for their worthless little lives.

I'd like to see 5-0 but you might get your wish. Forecast looks great for Thursday and Friday but dodgy for the rest of the match.

I hark back to the good old days, when traitors were taken round the back and shot.

More than enough time then.

Im hoping we destroy them with some fine cricket. The aim is to pay them back for the whitewash so every single test has something riding on it.

I'm not, but there's a few on Viagogo for £75 which is about a tenner over face value.

Aye but then theirs a lovely 25 quid customer service charge plus 5 quid booking fee

 

[Safc_Luke]

Anyone who is going before Sunday clock which grog they sell please

I heard whispers they have a Guinness tent which would be a better change from the usual lager/cider at cricket grounds.

The bar under A stand and the bar in The Point sell Lancaster Bitter on draft, and for Tests there's a tent behind D stand that sells Guinness. But I'll do some research for you tomorrow anyhow......

Not bad.

Looking like a lot of overnight rain tonight then a cloudy morning before the sun comes out. Anyone else hoping we put them in if we win the toss tomorrow? It should be swinging round corners and could be a great opportunity to get ahead in the game quickly with the threat of rain over the weekend.

And if they're going to be off and on again all day, it would suit bowlers who can rest up more than batsmen who have to get themselves in every time.
