2019 2nd Ashes Test - Lords 14-18 August 2019

[The Falcon Strike]

If they get through the next hour it looks like clearish skies.

Should be tossing now and playing in 10

Ridiculous delay

 

[Visions]

Rain still holding. Pitch inspection at 2.30 (15 minutes from now).

I'm getting hopeful.

The radar looks like rain will hit again soon and stay around for a while.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Staying up to hopefully see one ball and fall asleep straight away

 

[THE D]

Homestly, a bunch of die hard cricket fans hanging on to watch play and this is the dribble that 9 dishes up? FTA television is not long for this world and rightly so

You wouldn't call it rain at the moment but it's not exactly dry.

 

[melanChronic]

GOAT with the mankad!!! Sucked in Buttler.

And have to bowl with a wet ball? Then have to change the ball every 10 overs...conditions have to be fair

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Whoever wins the toss is likely to bowl now, not enough time left in the day to get on top with the bat but enough time to get on top with the ball.

Conditions should favour the bowlers too.

We'd bat first imo- want Lyon bowling last.

 

[Seedsfan]

Can’t see them getting 48 overs in

That is very good.

BANK WEST IS OWNED BY THE COMMONWEALTH BANK FFS.

Stick your bank stuff up your ass.

That's putting it nicely.

The half hour really won’t make that much difference
.

More time for the excess water to be drained out. Should just aim to start after tea

 

[Charlie_s123]

Wow, sending Lyon in as opener really paid off. Who would have imagined the quickest ton in test history?

Agree, I'll be surprised if the Poms win the toss and choose to bowl first....

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Mitch marsh warming up

Hahahah

Would still be better than Starc. Weirdly I wouldn't mind him at number 8 as our 3rd seamer.

 

[1990crow]

Travis head out for 40 again?!

 

[k31th]

[Santana]

Well damn, Oman v PNG only game not raining out.

They are back on in the West Indies

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Toss delayed due to driZle

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Almost hope it pours down now

There is another front but it's patchier than the last one and they are moving through quite quickly.

Being the optimist.
