Get the two current batsmen out and we'll steamroll the rest in half an hour.

It's been pissing with rain all morning. Some breaks in the clouds as I look out the window, but a winter's day. We can only hope that they start play early afternoon (3 to 4pm Melbourne time), and we can get them all out in about 4 hours.

Yet they're still not letting people in with umbrellas. Cos the WACA has never been known for their intelligence and logic...

As bizarre as that is, many stadiums around Aus havent allowed umbrellas in recent history, hence why ponchos are often seen when watching on tv from the safety of home.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

How the hell did they let rain seep under the covers overnight!? 21st century and all.

It's in WA, so I blame Chamberlain, Margetts & Meredith

 

[King Corey]

Now they've taken lunch.

FFS get out there while it's dry and wrap this thing up.

Ex players are in an uproar about the entire lost session.

[DarkPhoenix]

Oh thats a ****ing farcical decision, you can't not give that out.

 

[giantroo]

What a joke!

Smith was right to be livid, he clearly caught it and it's a decision which could make or break England surviving the day.

 

[muttley45]

Jimmy Anderson's defense v short pitched delivery, block with helmet

Nup - poms are screwed.

 

[gokangas]

Thats it - the Ashes stay down under. All credit to the team.

 

[Hojuman]

Both batting beautifully. 400 up. 500 not far away. Ashes in our keeping by Monday evening. Poms looking crushed.

Ah Hojuman. Right on the money !

Stay? Thought we'd lost it?

Just because everyone's doing it, it doesn't make it right.


Sorry for sounding like my mother just now.

I know, just saying stupidity isn't just in WA sporting stadiums.
