4th test Manchester

[Ghfd]

Got to be playing by 7 which probably means they need to be prepping the ground now. So annoying that it hasn't rained in Didsbury.

Been watching the golf and I realise it’s an hour away but it’s barely rained there today

overcast but the players are in t shorts

Ashes gone.

Yeah, but I'm a couple of miles away never mind Liverpool

Ashes gone.

Nah, there'll be time tomorrow

 

[Ghfd]

Officially end of day been called

roll on Sunday

Well that's the ashes settled then weather wins 2 days out of 5

The forecast is and was worse today than tomorrow and we got third of a day's play in.

The forecasts I've looked at for tomorrow have it at nearly 90% chance all day

I think Australia winning the First 2 matches has settled it mate

Always look back on the first test as the killer.

England made so many errors but nearly pulled it back

 

[Steak Pie]

Will they not need to clear it up.

Their saying have to be on the field for 7.

Even then I'm sure the light will be too poor.

Nowhere near as much water to clear.

Think is done.

 

[FatDrummer]

This. They will be more than content with that

Don’t agree. From being 2-0 up, to not WIN the series will not sit well with Aussie press or even the fans. Yeah they’ll take the piss that they still have possession of the Urn, but once the dust settles, questions WILL be asked about why they didn’t kill us off.

 

[Kumbuka]

Still well in it. Given today didn’t go to plan, at least we got labushagne and are near to the new ball. If we get an early wicket tomorrow Aussies will be under huge pressure.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Might get play about lunch time tomorrow looking at the forecast. We’d have to rattle through them.

Going 2-0 down was always going to make it incredibly difficult to come back and win. Absolutely everything has to go our way for that to happen. Including the English weather.

[Mr Redknapp]

A pisser the weather gods haven't helped but there is a bit of time yet. Think the series deserves to go The Oval for a decider.

 

[Hyltons finest]

Forecast is looking bleak

Sod the forecast, what about the radar?

Or anything else that looks better than the forecast

 

[mosi]

Well the forecast for today has been wrong all week (ie heavy rain all day), even on the comparatively reliable Met office site. Meteorology isn’t an exact science. With any luck we will get enough overs in tomorrow to beat them.

I’m not giving up hope yet

Exactly that test. So many fuck ups. some were saying draw wasn't a decent result but we could be going into the oval at 1-1.
