[the ashes] test 3. Manchester

[Brett]

Play starting at 11.30 if no more rain.

Australia have declared

 

[Steak Pie]

Play to start at 11.30, but I reckon there's at least a 50/50 chance of more rain between now and then.

Cook actually go fuck yourself other abysmal effort from him and a shocking review.

 

[BIG BAZ]

what a wasted review that by Cook

 

[TopCat]

Hope it f***ing rains soon

 

[Chappers]

Fuck sake and a waste of a review. Going to fuck this up being to defensive

 

[Arkle]

We could do with the rain coming soon. Wasted a review as well. That was obviously plumb and nowhere near the bat.

 

[elder]

another desperate review...

 

[sonson]

Drama

Dumb review. Sort of behaviour that will give them the win that.

If we play to save this we've lost it, need to just play it as a regular innings cos we've looked desperate trying to slow the game when batting under pressure for a while

 

[Chappers]

Hope it f***ing rains soon

I can only assume he thought the bat hitting his pad was in fact the bat hitting the ball.

I agree it was like the warner one, but the umpire had no hesistation and cook should realise what wasting a review at this stage would mean.

It was selfish and very poor captaincy.

It's allowed.

 

[Safc_Luke]

It's going to rain in an hour anyway.

 

[TheLizard]

It's going to rain in an hour anyway.

Hope so

 

[TopCat]

Would be quite funny if they got us 40/9 then it bucketed down for the next 6 hours
