4th test Manchester

[LJP1786]

MET office had this morning looking like we’d not see a ball and they were completely wrong.

iPhone which is usually rubbish imo, was much more accurate today.

They’ve got 50% rain for 11am tomorrow, never know might get an hour at them in the dark!

 

[Roker Mackem]

Yep unfortunately. Hopefully it moves through quicker than predicted

Chance is around 60% England 40% draw at the moment

 

[brandon]

We’ve probably got three overs left, I don’t want to see any balls that can be left. Just bowl at the stumps and make the batsmen keep it out.

I’m being confident and we win, there was an article on the I site that said , the fifth test could be available on Free to view tv

possibly channel four again

What's Bill Voce doing these days?

Maybe playing with a Kookabuura Ghost cricket bat ?

Hopefully get this done and sun comes out for 5 full days in a decider, be crap if it finishes on a wash out

I backed the draw before a ball was bowled, got 7/4

I would say the draw is 70% based on the weather forecast

It’s really pissed me off how long it took Moeen to start his over and bowl three balls. He’s f*cked our chances of another one tonight. Idiot.

Scandalous that the Ashes isn't held in the same regard as Wimbledon and the World Cup.. It's the oldest competition England have been involved in.
Smashing day for the Anglo-Saxons that!

Market must have heard your opinion.. draw rapidly heading towards 50% now

 

[Ghfd]

Great last two days by England. Don’t think they could have done much more

give me 60 overs from these next two days and I think we will be at that good old bishop

I’ve just seen the latest radar for tomorrow and Sunday

More or the less same forecast for 2 days

Still generally available at 7/5 which seems tempting looking at the weather forecasts. Lump on with the reward of victory to temper the financial loss?

Wimbledon doesn’t need the money as theyre not paying player salaries. Footy doesn’t need it as it’s already got an extortionate amount. Cricket needs every penny.

Yeah same. Doesnt look good at all. Youd think we'd need a solid 2 hours to have a chance

5/6 the draw on Bet 365, seems everyone is lumping on

 

[McGregor]

Good day. One wicket away from being an absolutely brilliant day. Think they got the weather forecast wrong today didn't they, could happen over the next 2 days too. Think we'll still get minimum of 60 overs over the next two days which I think is enough to get 6 wickets.

England have absolutely annihilated Australia in this test and it's been brilliant to see Aussie faces look so lost and delfated.

Or the celebrations fall a bit flat because youve just lost hundreds

5/6 the draw on Bet 365, seems everyone is lumping on

Odds dropped at stumps immediately. Must have been key getting one more wicket

Another really good day from England. Not much wrong. Tactically it’s clearly based on the presumption we’ll get a decent amount of play Sunday (or even sneak a bit tomorrow). But that we won’t get two more days. I think that’s the right way to play it. If they’re right about the weather we probably win. If they’re wrong, I’ll not criticise.

Yet another great day. They call 2005 the greatest series but that had days and even matches that were one sided. This is a one sided match but for the weather. Every other one has been tight. This is the best Ashes series I can remember and I’m 60. Thanks boys.
