If we don't get any play today I look forward to the Aussies wildly celebrating at close of play

Genuinely wouldn't put it past them

be a real shame if it fizzles out today. Win this and I’d say 3-2 England is nailed on. They’ve been by far the most entertaining of the 2 sides and could easily be 3-0 up. Even if the Aussies win it’s got the feel of spurs’ preseason game against spam written all over it although it won’t say that in the history books.

I should say England can't just blame the weather (and the cheating) if they don't win the series

They had their chances in the first two tests but didn't take them

Arguably England could be out of sight already

This is shit what's the latest? when's the next inspection ?
Stupid Manc weather, its been lovely here all morning.

I cannot find one forcast that gives any hope

 

[Gb160]

oooh that's slightly more promising.

This is how I felt yesterday but I woke up today to dry weather and no rain

I just looked now to see if it started and its been rained delayed (I live 30 miles from old Trafford)

Turns out we are getting no rain all afternoon but everywhere around us is lol

I'm starting to wonder how to spend my winnings from my bet that it'll be a draw. Favourite, according to Mrs A&C, is a weekend away in Paris.

Which means they'll get on and we'll bowl them out.

The weather in this country is mental, Forcasts now removed a drop from the clouds and just potential showers for the next few hours. If its not raining now we may get lucky!

I really hope they can be sensible with the intervals. It will be crazy if we come out and play for a bit, then break for lunch whilst conditions are playable.

They can eat their lunches while they're fucking playing. I have to eat while working all the time.

"We have more news...

The pitch inspection will be at 12:15 BST. The players are then going to take lunch at 12:20 so we won't have play before 13:00."

Why not just take lunch now??

Utterly ridiculous. Why didn’t they take an early lunch when it was raining?

Maybe the Aussies have a say in the matter.

Cricket doent help itself, only sport where this could happen. God forbid they dont have a lunch and tea break! Really needs looking at!

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Raining again

 

[Gb160]

ffs

 

[KingKay]

Definitely no play anytime soon. Still bucketing it down here.

[joey.leone]

What a shame for it to end like this.

 

[Impspur1]

All to play for at the Oval, at least the bowlers had a good break!
