WTC and Ashes 2023

Not sure if I prefer the less-sweary, zen-like, post-extended holiday version of @Derpus or the swearier, DGAF pre-extended holiday version...

I try to maintain an equilibrium with swearing and fucks given all the time so that people don't think I'm cyborg Cyclo.

If someone wants to be be a legend and go get a 100 here you’ll never get a better chance. You’ll be able to milk this shit at sports lunches forever.

Cometh the hour, cometh Labuschange...

Maybe Marsh too?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Fuuuuuck me. I’d almost become content and now they suck me fully back in.

Can these 2 occupy enough time with a bit of rain? Get just in front even 50-100 that time in the change over plus more rain might get across….

I know it’s still all in Englands favour and can be over in a session or less.

Good to see the boys, Marnus especially, dig in last night. Do it again today and we might just escape. England still massive favourites but with the way this series has gone so far you just never know.

 

[Derpus]

Forecast looks bad again but they got more overs in yesterday than I thought they would. I reckon England will get it done but you never know.

I hope the gods grant us clemency if only to piss of Piers:

Nothing would make me happier than Piers crying in his beers because of a draw and as a result Australia retain the Ashes!! Imagine the whinge coming out of Piers!!

 

[Sword of Justice]

The rain is their fault for being English, and so would be a moral victory for us.

For someone who thinks so highly of himself, I've yet to see any evidence to back it up. The ultimate blowhard.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Without question. A knob of the highest order

 

[Stagnation]

What is the forecast for today? Will there be any play at all?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Looks like there will be. If they got as much in as they did yesterday it’s going to be a hard day.

let there be rain

 

[Sword of Justice]

Depends on the forecast you look at, but days being totally washed out is very rare throughout history and I would be surprised if it happens today. I am beginning to get properly optimistic however. The outfield will be saturated.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Watching the Golf at the moment and that’s in Liverpool (1hr,15) or so from Manchester and it’s pretty miserable. Hopefully it keeps up.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Raining right now during the lunch break. Forecast is grim until about 7PM

Anxiously checked the result this morning. The trophy is ours!!

No cricket on ... so our place stumbled into watching the first night's finals of the world swim champs.

An even better use of the water than Old Trafford; it was Australia's best day in swimming in 50 years!

Gee the poms love a whinge if only they picked a decent keeper and not prince harry they might be holding the urn

All he's got is impotent white man rage, so he's decided to turn that up to 11
