Cummins use of him in the third test was a vote of no confidence.

We need to get the captaincy off Cummins after this series. Has Head got any leadership credentials?

Honest question, when did we last demote a captain?

wHEN HE ALLOWED A BLOKE TO GO OUT ONTO THE FIELD WITH A SQUARE OF SANDOPAPER FROM RECOLLECTION.

Yeah, forgot about that.

Obviously in the Cummins case we need him to find his way to voluntarily stepping aside.

who takes over?

as much as smith would be better than cummins...sandpaper-gate and he wasnt our greatest captain either.

there really is no one who will still be in the team in 12-18mths.

Carey would be ok for a few years. But Cummins is a thoroughly uninspiring captain.

Head would make a decent captain imo

Head seems the most likely long-term. Not sure if captaining South Australia is a positive or a negative though.

If tomorrow and Sunday are pretty much rained out, you’d think Stokes would be declaring soon? No point having a 300 run lead and not enough time to bowl us out. Fingers crossed it absolutely pisses down for the next 2.5 days

It gives you a solid grounding in choking.

500+ is a disgrace.

Seriously doubt 2 full days will be lost to rain.
That's pretty much what people were saying during the last test.

The declaration shouldn't be far away though.

I'm surprised it didn't happen 30-40 minutes ago.

I know we'll lose some time to rain, but there's still 8 sessions to go.

I think more runs now are irrelevant. Australia have to bat out today and whatever is played on Sunday. Weather will be bad and looks like no play tomorrow. Sunday play will be interrupted. We need at least 6 wickets in hand at close of play tonight. Maybe 5 will do. I think we will hold out.

we’ll have to bat 7 and a half of them to not lose this test

Nah can't be more than 2 down at stumps today. Can't rely on the weather to play ball with the luck England has had so far.

Just has to miss the ground. The weather forecast for Manchester could be spot on but we're playing cricket at Old Trafford.

There's 8 sessions left in the game. We have to get through at least 4 on the field with the bat in hand to ensure a draw.

We won't even lose 2 full sessions to rain in the wash up imo.

 

[Dazzler9]

I'll assume Saturday is lost to rain but Sunday is near enough a full day.

Got to bat normally, pass their lead, then add enough that they can't chase it down on Sunday.

Tall order from here.

I worked hard to get that gif in here. Stupid sexy Big Footy didn't have it in their gif list.
