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

[LukeParkerno1]

No cricket today people according to the dulcet tones of Mr Gower. So go to bed, feed the cat, put the rubbish out, visit Pornhub or whatever, try again tomorrow...

Yep, bedtime.

 

[danielnajdek]

Not wrong runrate over 10.

0-113 off 9.3 overs

 

[The Passenger]

Yep it just starting up again. Not as heavy as earlier, but too heavy to play through.

Now it's probably the heaviest its been all day. Think they might be all she wrote for today folks.

 

[ChappyUK]

*eting down now.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

* heads cant even build a decent grandstand, not much hope of em putting a roof on their pathetic grounds, what a pathetic part of the world.

 

[deanc]

Should get a full day's play tomorrow but more rain is forecast for Friday and Saturday and then it's clear again on Sunday.

Doubtful that a result will be possible unless there is some great bowling or terrible batting.

Of course we all want to see cricket but a draw here leaves the hosts having to win 2 of the next 3 tests, so it's clearly advantage Aus...

That’s more than likely with these teams.

Agree. Draw is perfectly fine, especially with Pattinson back next test. Plus the more rain we can sort of "rest" Cummins during this match.

Australian grounds all have roofs do they.

 

[DamoESP]

Well the only good thing to come out of the rain today, is that I was able to watch Gayle go spare against India in what looks to be his last ever ODI innings. What a sight that was

[yakka man]

And we're officially done. Such a s**t start, even though it was completely expected.

 

[The Passenger]

Play officially abandoned.

 

[skipper kelly]

No play. Hello and goodnight.

 

[Neese]

That's not how you do summer England

 

[Ron The Bear]

Channel 9 could at least put on Papua New Guinea v Oman for those of us who’ve stayed up this late.

There would be contractual reasons why they couldn’t for starters though.

 

[tandino]

Thanks for the laughs lads.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Dank crap hole of a country.

Doesn't rain here every 5 minutes though.

In England if bad light stops play (wait for it).......they play extra time the following evening, how ******* sharp are you campaigners?

I'm Australian. Hasn't rained for a few weeks and has been one of the best summers I can remember.

It gets dark at 10:30pm here at the height and 9ish now. You do realise bad light is usually due to cloud and not just the sun?

 

[The Passenger]

Been a rubbish summer over here.

2018 was brilliant.

We had about as many sub 20-degrees day in the first 3 weeks of June this year than the all three summer months in 2018 and hasn't really picked up. Yet funnily enough the second day of the England-Ireland test was probably the hottest day I've experienced here.

Dude it pissed down all Monday just gone.

Much more likely for bad light to affect play later in the day, though!

 

[philreich]

Faultless display from the Aussies on day 1: keep up the good work boys!!!

Something people may not have considered - if the next 3 Tests are washed out, then we retain the Ashes .

Sunset in England is currently well after 8pm. The only reason they'd go off for bad light would be if it's very overcast, something that's not guaranteed the following evening.
