l was jesting Jim as yes the day was extremely disappointing for England with Smith scoring runs for fun and then Englands makeshift opener getting out cheaply as unless our batsman stay in for the whole of tomorrow which is basically asking for a miracle then the Ashes are gone.

Re: English Cricket
The weather looks like being England’s best chance of getting out of this match with a draw although Sat/Sun forecast is much better and two full days may be beyond England’s survival capabilities. The last time a test match was played this late at Old Trafford was in 1880. There is a darned good reason for that which had obviously escaped the money grabbers at the ECB.

The money grabbers at the ECB are sadly only interested in the white ball game thus test cricket is only of secondary importance to them.

Re: English Cricket
He wouldn’t have even got in the test squad if it was up to me but you kept saying they should give him a decent run so it’s your decision I’m afraid.
And Moeen Ali is 100+ not out at Whack a Mole cricket.

There is only one hope Dave and that is no hope as wickets continue to tumble.
