Ashes - 4th Test

[BoroJake]

Not sure if this is the best innings I have seen or the worst

Looking at the BBC weather app.

From tomorrow it is apparently going to rain for the rest of time in Manchester. The forecast is abysmal.

I really hope it is wrong. If it is correct then I recommend the good people of Manchester commence building an arc pretty sharpish.

Cummins slowing the game down

So pleased for Crawley

Looking at the met office forecast only Saturday looks really bad, few showers on the other days.

Crawleys second 50 in just 26 balls. A real positive Crawley and I didn't rate him before this series.

Proven wrong.

3 types of weather in Manchester in my experience

raining, stopped raining, about to rain.
2 dry days in a row and I can see Just Stop Oil's concern

Crawley is so exciting. Great shots followed by the most random edges...all sailing away to the boundary.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

I think we are going at over 7 an over since lunch.

I reckon Stokes checked the same weather app as me!

 

[The Card Cheat]

We're going to get skittled for 200 here woeful batting

Keep up the good work.

Explains why England are pressing on. Typical Manc weather!

BBC weather app is dreadful since they flogged it off to the highest bidder. I don’t use it at all these days.

As others have said only Saturday looks particularly bad on the forecasts I’ve seen so looks like we may get 4 days of play.

I said after the 2nd test they wouldn’t drop Crawley because he had a score and had some runs

I would have personally dropped him. Natural ability in abundance not sure if he has the concentration for this level

Fair play though, turning out to be having a decent series all in all. Proving almost every punter wrong, me included

 

[WilliamMunny]

Was hoping for 200/3 at Tea, so 239/2 is outstanding. If we maintain the scoring rate of that session, we'll be level by 5pm. IF we can do that with wickets in hand, I expect us to try and score even faster against their tired bowlers in the last hour and a half of the day.

 

[sweet_left_foot]

what's the game plan?

EDIT:Will answered my question whilst I was typing it

Fantastic innings to watch from Crawley, hopefully we can get a decent lead so we don’t need to bat again. The conditions forecast for the next three dayssuggest if we get play they’ll favour our swing bowlers
