Third Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[TopCat]

Play due to start on time apparently.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

How do we connect him losing his dad to thinking he has a divine right to keep wicket for England?

Not suggesting that. It's bound to have an effect on his personality.

What's it looking like on the wrong side of the pennines?

Pissing it down or what? @Steak Pie

Currently pouring down, doubt there'll be any play in the first session

Play due to start on time apparently.

I suppose this heavy shower may have missed the ground.....

Forecast improving all the time. We might just get lucky here, although feels like a bowling day.....

Dead lucky, the weather usually comes from Old Trafford to where I am a few miles away, it rained overnight, most of the morning and absolutely poured down for the last 15 minutes

Sun is out now

Nearly missed the start because of our useless “local knowledge”
poor Shannon

Terrible miss from Cornwall that one.

 

[hank williams]

Bit of luck there

 

[Beau Peep]

Need a super slow mo of that drop

Gabriel unlucky as fuck

 

[Jack Torrance]

Gabriel has had about 10 drops off his bowling this series

That’s what happens when you put someone in the slips for the sole reason that they can’t run

He would have caught it if it was a pie .

He’s known as a good fielder tbf. I believe he averaging a catch per match or something.

He’s well known as a good fielder tbf. I believe he averaging a catch per match.

I stand corrected

 

[The Breen Machine]

Great start from the WIndies this morning with the ball. Well played Ollie.

 

[Jack Torrance]

He deserved that wicket

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

What a ball
