4th test Manchester

[KarenDent]

Out for 51

 

[herra soul mob]

I'd much rather we just try to bat long and bat once. 350+ lead today and have 2 days at them.

that lead will take a lot of today up, if lose tomorrow due to weather , only gives a day at them.

 

[Inside Forward]

We've lost the plot here. This is achieving fuck all other than wasting time


There'll be no play tomorrow

What the fuck are they supposed to do against a marshmallow?

 

[Dexter]

Strange tactics today. Not really much intent aside from the odd shot here or there. I know it’s difficult to hit the old ball but with the weather coming in we need to shit or bust now.

 

[Hyltons finest]

not feasible whatsoever that

 

[Boo]

The Aussies have bowled well to their fields. All a bit sticky.

 

[mackembhoy]

Do they get warned about the slow over rate during the match or just at the end?

They get a fine and some WTC point deductions.

AKA fuck all happens

 

[The Red Telephone]

We'll be at Desmond Haynes' level of shithousery soon

^^^^^
This.

 

[Stormo]

End. Fuck all happens during the game.

We'll be at Desmond Haynes' level of shithousery soon

Explain further?

 

[Hulkenburger]

More of that please.

 

[Fezza]

Reckon we declare around 200?

 

[herra soul mob]

Reckon we declare around 200?

if get that far

 

[Raker]

Reckon we declare around 200?

Think I’d agree with it.

 

[Bears Beets]

weather looks dreadful tomorrow, id be surprised if a ball is bowled.

Heavy rain late morning/afternoon, the main reason I’ve sacked it off and have decided to go Sunday instead. Few showers around on Sunday according to the met office

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Australia look absolutely shot to bits

 

[Stormo]

Australia look absolutely shot to bits

Yeah that extra test they had seems to have taken it out of them. Cummins being captain doesn’t help. Shame we will lose a day tomorrow.

 

[mikemanc]

Reckon we declare around 200?

That or 20 minutes before lunch, whichever comes first.

Encouraging bit of movement when the Aussie's have pitched it up this morning

 

[herra soul mob]

Australia look absolutely shot to bits

running on empty

 

[Raker]

Would love to see how many times the weather has been checked for old Trafford on the met office I’m 15 not out atm.

 

[Jap Stammer]

Thought they were really negative with the side they picked for this match

They've been negative from ball one of the first test.

Starting with sweepers out on both sides, ffs.

They were 2-0 up by dint of England failing to do the basics, not by any tactics of their own other than just trying to hang in and wait for England to make a mistake.
