It must be nice to be so sure about life's vagaries. No delays for bad weather yet and Aussies 4-1."GodalmingYellow" wrote:Play will be lost today and on Sunday. A draw is almost certain unless a batting collapse occurs by one side or t'other.
England were again let down by some poor batting. Collingwood in particular played a dismal stroke. With Strauss' innings, England might be in all sorts.

I'm very happy for it to be bumped, and what I described has happened so far."Ascension Ox" wrote:"GodalmingYellow" wrote:I'll remind you of this posting on Monday evening."Ascension Ox" wrote: It must be nice to be so sure about life's vagaries. No delays for bad weather yet and Aussies 4-1.
Bump.
Weather played a part on Friday (as it will tomorrow), and the game will be a draw unless there is a batting collapse (which the Aussies duly obliged with).
Let's bump it again tomorrow night to check if the weather intervened.

And why were you not here?
England batted tremendously once Bopara had stoppped stinking the place out. We'll set the Aussies 600 and put them in just before lunch. I can rarely remember seeing such a bunch of woebegone antipodean supporters.

600 is far too many and will risk not leaving enough time to get the wickets."Ascension Ox" wrote:Pre season friendlies are a waste of time, that's why."Snake" wrote:Sorry, I know I shouldn’t rely on gossip from the Met Office.

We'll put them in straight away, and 1-0 to England, provided the weather isn't too disruptive.
