3rd test - Headingley

stapler said:
I suspect it is a bit more complicated than just wanting to.

There will be licensing, police, transport, TV, ECB, ACB, MCC, particular County Club, etc rules, regs and agreements to navigate, plus the risk of ticket holders getting peeved if the match is played outside the published times.

Happens all the time in Aus or Nz if play is lost the day before. Half an hour earlier start.
 

Well back in it if not in a favourable position

Over to England to actually take advantage or let it slip away like they have the last 2 games
 
Bright and sunny at present, cloud expected to move in from around 09:00, take your pick with forecasts, for what its worth I think we'll get to lunch ok then increasing chance of rain as the afternoon progresses with worst around tea then brightening up around 17:00. 🤞

Of course it could piss down all day by some forecasts 😱

I'm setting off at 09:00 in any case with s'wester and brolly in my bag 👍

Have my pine cone with me for up to date information as the day goes on 😊

aye, fearless is only a positive attribute if you're good enough to back it up. and we haven't been at all.

that's why i was apprehensive of the approach at durham, as the last few years have looked like we just aren't good enough to play high risk/high reward cricket but we've been really really good.

and england have been recently, by and large. not this time round. australia have been better, but largely it's been england defeating themselves. the drops have done for us

I think the drops have been everything though. If we win the first test playing that brand of cricket after declaring when we did the doubts in the Aussie team would have been enormous. However our catching and particular at keeper has been so poor it’s beyond belief.

If Foalkes had been behind the stumps I honestly think we would be 2-0 up.

It passed over us and went Headingley way. Brightened up again after. Hopefully a couple of dry hours to try and get some play in today...

That's what's just pelted us (I'm about 5 miles west of the ground)

Looks to be moving NE towards Harewood. After some warm weather we can expect some thunder cells.

In itself, that statement is nonsense as it amounts to saying that everything we did increased our chance of losing if we lost.

We won the toss and batted. That must have increased our chance of losing, since we lost.

We had a first innings lead. That must have increased our chance of losing, since we lost.

We weren’t bowled out before lunch on day one. Must have increased our chance of losing, since we lost.

Not sure I’ve grasped your concept there marra🤔
