The Ashes 2023

[PITA]

Can they overun until Monday if they lose Saturday to the weather?

That looks like a complete washout, with a chance to play on Sunday but even that may be minimal.

No.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

I honestly think the powers that be, should be starting English test matches earlier and finish later. Why can't they start at 10 and finish at 8?
We know we have rain in this country, especially along the pennines. Do something about it.

I dunno why at least one of the northern grounds haven’t had a roof put in tbh. Rain is part of the game and has saved England on many occasions as well

Anyone else clock Peter Reid at the game? Chewing hell out of piece of gum but looks very well

 

[The binman chronicles]

No.

I thought they brought in a reserve day for a full washout but turns out that was just for the world championship test final.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Great day from england. if only Wood had been fit for every game, I feel it would be 3 nil England. He's the difference between the two sides.

Can you imagine Wood and Archer in the same team?

Wood Archer Broad and Anderson would have been some strike force wouldnt it.

I like Woakes, great bowler in England

 

[Brendan Janus]

Archer is erratic, like Malcolm, in fact pretty useless, just pacey !!

Me too, a hell of a lot more than Robinson, offers more with the bat, isn't mouthy and isn't fat and doesn't break down half way through every second game bowling 70mph because of said fatness.

Typical that it's manchester when we have a chance of winning

I guess the aussies will retain the ashes if overall draw

Not to tempt fate. But it is supposed to be lashing it down in Manchester right now.
Fair to say it ain't. It's rather pleasant.

 

[Gilbert..]

Is 5/4, current price for England to win, tempting? Are the expecting two days of constant rain? It looks decent to me but as they say you never meet a poor bookie.

Probably. May be a few sporadic windows of play. If it’s overcast though ball might be swinging all over. 2-3 hours play in tricky conditions and England could it. Taking a quick wicket would be crucial.

God I love this team. What a two days it’s been in Manchester this week - but especially today

Marnus getting supremely rattled on the boundary was pure chefs kiss
