Test AUSTRALIA v SOUTH AFRICA Third Test. Jan 4-8: SCG, 10.30am AEDT

[11kgm]

Haven’t been to Sydney in 20 years and no plans to head back.

Went there once to graduate don't recommend the s**t hole

The AFL demand that the new stadium in Hobart has a roof even though it’s the 2nd driest capital city in the country.
Why is our government not insisting that Sydney has a giant hot house covering it.

Maybe this test will go beyond 4 days.

Our view of Tamarama Beach last time I was in Sydney.
No better city in Australia for a holiday, need to be a billionaire to live in the nice spots though. Much prefer to live in Melbourne.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Pretty tame start so far Australia wanting to go off imo expect ussie to start whingeing about the light

Had a mate at the ground yesterday who said it was pretty dark toward the end, so not sure the Ussie is whinging.

If we miss out again, i will piss my self laughing

Looks good

If we miss out on the Test Championship because of Sydneys s**t weather can we disown them and let them be part of NZ.

 

[The 747]

Typical selfish NSW weather

 

[Jamurp]

There'll be some 30 minute void until play can start again once the rain stops, because surely you can't just get the * out there again can you?

To come off at 215 in the afternoon with the lights on no rain was a disgrace

Friend of mine inherited a Tamarama flat from a widowed friend of his mother, the jammy bastard.

 

[Some Idiot]

Complete disaster this test

Should never of gone off for a passing shower …poms play in this all the time

 

[danielnajdek]

Don't forget to check for bad light umps.

 

[Westend]

Ffs umps get the players back out there

No

Certain procedures and processes must be adhered to

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The problem with going off for rain is it takes 5 hours to get back on

 

[Costanza_]

Ctrl F: "Sydney" AND ["shithole" OR "shouldnt have a test" OR "disgrace" OR "worst city" OR "rather live in Sudan"]

6431 results.

 

[danielnajdek]

LMAOOOOO this is a joke.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Lol this is ridiculous

 

[Westend]

Yup

This will be short lived as radar showing this little bit of crappy weather from the south is all there is for hours. Did it rain in Melbourne yesterday as Sydney usually cops the same the following day if wind is still southerly.

 

[freo_leo29]

The public always complains every raining test yet they never do anything about it

rained a little bit throughout the day, was dark and overcast though, we'd have lost play the G yesterday, though not as much.

You can't go out there until the rain completely completely stops. Rule could be changed to "In the event of very light drizzle, umpires will use their common sense as to when play will resume."
