[the ashes] test 3. Manchester

[sonson]

But to be fair to England, the first job is not to lose the ashes. So can see why they are doing it.

However, for me unless we start going at them it's 2-1 unless the rain saves us.

So ha'way rain.

We draw this test by taking the sting out of their attack and the spring in their tail by whacking them all over the place. We lose this by playing for the draw and surrendering to the circumstances.

This is the equivalent of MON's team going 1-0 up, everyone sit on the goal line and stop them scoring. React, react, react.

I fancied watching a bit cricket but I guess rain is the best thing for England.

They need him in apart from aleem dar these other 3 aren't great umpires.

They need to fast track in some more elite umpires from other nations aside from England and Australia

 

[sonson]

Still going to be enough play in the day for Australia to win if they're going some :-(

f***ing bellends bell got a very nasty one.

I vote we should be allowed to lob balls and twattos head and then he can have a f***ing moan.
