Re: English Cricket
A roller coaster of a game for sure, much better than a totally one sided thrashing, as long as your side wins of course.

Had Australia in all sorts of trouble in the first innings a blew it, looked set for a great total in reply and collapsed. Looking like a loss from the jaws of victory. Just always feel Australia have the fight at test level that England lack sadly

Not looking good with three wickets down already as England have some serious thinking to do to whom they select for the next test.
Now 4 wickets down.

Re: English Cricket
Crazy is putting it mildly, half the Aussie side have played county ‘red ball’ cricket this season, they are currently playing a 3 day ‘red ball’ game v Worcester whilst the England test players twiddle their thumbs.
Olly Stone to miss next two tests due to a back injury sustained on Tuesday in a practice session.

It is likely to get worse before it gets better sadly Jim.

Re: English Cricket
Really frustrating, I am sat in glorious sunshine enjoying a beer on my new verandah, what's bugging me is that I have 2 tickets to the sold out Lancs v Yorks T20 Blast tomorrow and the weather forecast is appalling.

Looking at the weather Jim it looks like it won't be until Sunday that it improves.

Re: English Cricket
There is always the possibility of a 7 overs a side whack-a-mole game.

Hold it over the other side of the Pennines mate, it never rains and the sun always shines in God's Own County
I was travelling across the A59 the other day, and the rain started as soon as I crossed that border....
