4th test Manchester

I don't need to be their, sky showed the pictures of the pitch and the ground staff were not cleaning up, only the security on the pitch. Lancashire won't have any say in anything. Cricket really doesn't help itself. It wasn't raining whilst this was all going on. Dither, delay then take a break. Happens everywhere in this country though. First time in a long time last week the umpires at Durham showed real initiative with the rain break and it worked out very well, no dithering at all.

Who do you think the groundsman and his staff work for? They advise the umpires when the pitch will be ready for inspection and play. From rain stopping to play commencing is between an jour and two hours depending on state of pitch and outfield, that's the way it is.

Wait for the umpires to stop play for light with Eng needing a wkt to win or a few runs, what you going to say then?
 
Thinks it’s time to accept defeat unfortunately, if there’s a tiny little crumb of positivity it’s that I feel we are getting beat by the weather just as much as the Aussies.
