Let's see what happens in the last test matches. When there is nothing close to a draw and we end up 2-2 at the end you can come back and see that I am correct

You can't differentiate between what you think will happen and the permutations of what can happen.

We win two, draw one, who takes the Ashes?

Yes, just, despite nearly 3 days of rain. The chances of another are statistically very unlikely, and would require very significant rain intervention. Looking at at least 2.5 days being rained off for it to be realistic. If you want to gamble on that, feel free, but I won't follow that school of thought

Backtracking even further :lol: :lol: :lol:

You are familiar with the weather in this country right? 2 tests up north now and another coming in London that hasn't exactly basked in sunshine this week. The teams may make a draw unlikely, but the weather is the only reason it's happened today.

Having a lead it is in their advantage, but it IS still only 1-0 with 3 to play.
The weather could easily see another game like this.

Australia need to win just any one of the remaining 3 test matches to retain the Ashes, its a situation they absolutely would've taken 2 tests in.

A lot depends on whether Smith is fit or not.

I'm waiting for you to show which post I stated anything other than this viewpoint from which I backtracked...

Jesus :lol:
Embarrassing yourself now. Just hold your hands up man and admit you made a mistake.

This is turning gold :lol:

I've held the same viewpoint since the rain on day one. Feel free to backtrack through the posts and you'll see. Whole point of a message board is to post opinions. If you don't like it just ignore it. Only one person getting himself into a twist here and it isn't me.

Which post is this? Oh wait, it doesn't exist. You will not get two draws with two teams that bat like this. Feel free to go and rain dance and hope this happens, but it won't. bookmark this and comment back at the end of the series.

Pointless drawing the game - still need to win all of the next 3 tests, so may as well risked the defeat

This is factually inaccurate. Separate from what you believe is likely to happen, it is factually incorrect.

You fucked up.
