4th test Manchester

[HeroHurley]

I think it's over now. Can't see us getting any play at all today. Test cricket really doesn't help itself at times.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Reet I’m off back to Consett I reckon. Need a win at the Oval, we don’t deserve to lose this series.

We do if we do.

Australia played the better and more clinical cricket in the first two tests and won them both deservedly.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

It is what it is. Shit happens, bloody shame the Ashes is decided like this though

 

[Hetty]

Who's going to start the Changes for Oval thread then?

 

[forzamilansafc]

We do if we do.

Had the weather been fine today we would’ve went on to win 3-2, I don’t doubt that at all

 

[mikemanc]

Who's going to start the Changes for Oval thread then?

Surely just Tongue for Anderson. Thread over.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

If nothing else, this shows that I should start the test match threads

The combination of that and a @Raker cheese sarnie and we’d win the lot

 

[JL1985]

The Duckworth Lewis method should be used for this test only.

 

[Hetty]

Surely just Tongue for Anderson. Thread over.

Depends if he retires and gets a swansong at the Oval

I’ve held off bollocking you but aye you should have started this test thread!

You better start the Oval one now.

Disagree. They didn't play better cricket in the first Test.

 

[LJP1786]

We do if we do.

we’ll see what happens at the Oval but we’ve been desperately unlucky with the weather not to go 2-2 in this one.

 

[Scotty 1978]

I’ve reported the Op for this thread, very basic title no flags, no team news and it’s raining because of this.

 

[Hetty]

Looks like the Aussies have cinch it

 

[mikemanc]

Depends if he retires and gets a swansong at the Oval

Still got a game to win and series to draw

 

[Voice of fair play]

We do if we do.

Australia played the better and more clinical cricket in the first two tests and won them both deservedly.

And we have absolutely destroyed them in this one, the other 3 tests could have gone either way, where we have totally dominated in this one.

Sport is cruel sometimes we totally deserve to be level in the series and have shown great resilience to come back from 2 0 down against the best side in the world and be on the verge of leveling the series.

Shit happens unfortunately.

 

[Yankee]

Still fancy us to level the series at the Oval, weather permitting of course, the Aussies look shot to pieces.

 

[Scotty 1978]

I’m watching the Stokes documentary on Amazon, any idea who the person he told to fuck off after the World Cup final after the person asked for a selfie, the person didn’t support Stokes when he was arrested, Stokes called him “a person in a suit”

 

[zebediah]

The Sydney Cricket Ground has lost more Ashes days to rain than Old Trafford.

Percentage wise OT pisses (literally) all over Sydney.

 

[sonson]

we’ll see what happens at the Oval but we’ve been desperately unlucky with the weather not to go 2-2 in this one.

But are deservedly 2-1 down on account of the last 3.

Test Cricket is played over 5 days, you get what you deserve over a series.
