f***ing hurry up!
You have 3 lads sweeping the covers
2 lads making sure it going down the drain
2 blotters doing the outfield
3 or 4 chatting near the hover cover, imagine if that broke down again

Was 6/4 this morning and now 6/5. I guess that might only be due to the pitch inspection. I cannot see there being enough hours today for a result. Tomorrow looking worse too.

Just gotta play it by ear. Weather apps had no play yesterday morning and we got a full session.
Today was biblical with zero chance of a ball and now there’s a pitch inspection at 2pm.
We’ve just got to hope we get enough chance to get them out. 3 hours somehow across today and tomorrow and I would snap your hands off.

Netweather radar is the most accurate

Still taking the water off, inspect now and it's a no.
If it stays dry we'll start about 2.20.

Not according to Jonatha Agnew, who said this earlier on the BBC test match page:-Will take at least 90 minutes to dry the outfield ,the other chance we get the umpires call tea
"Even when it does stop raining, it will take at least two hours for the ground to be ready for play and then we have consider whether there will be a few dry hours for play."
We look knackered, unfortunately.
Mind, I'm surprised that I feel quite relaxed about not now regaining the Ashes, while (oddly) feeling quite smug that the Aussies have had a humiliating walloping - and they know they have!
