[Cricket] The Ashes - England v Australia - 4th Test, Old Trafford, July 19-23, 2023

[The Wizard]

Got to feel for Warner


Not

 

[The Wizard]

Not these two again….

 

[A1X]

Break this partnership quickly and…well, it’s on isn’t it?

 

[Bodian]

Can we not have the extra half-hour for rain in advance?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Edge just drops short to slip. Or does it......

Looks out but it's close.

Nah, maybe not. Shame

 

[A1X]

It’s out but they won’t give it

 

[mikeyjh]

In any sane sport, that would happen!

 

[METALMICKY]

It’s out but they won’t give it

Not out clearly

 

[The Wizard]

Bounced up into his hands, he knew, as a fielder you know when it bounces slightly before you feel it. Crawley knew as well.

 

[mikeyjh]

It’s out but they won’t give it

Correct, on both counts.

 

[Bozza]

Bounced up into his hands, he knew, as a fielder you know when it bounces slightly before you feel it. Crawley knew as well.

So, you're saying the Aussies would have claimed it?

 

[banjo]

Smith reminds me of Gazza, very twitchy, nervous energy.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Just checked to see if a team has won an Ashes series from 2-0 down.

I really should have done that.

I got overexcited

 

[Change at Barnham]

The weather forecast for Sunday has improved so there’s now a chance we might get some play on Day 5.
Meanwhile, here’s a pic taken on with my mobile of the party stand this morning.
The radio commentary mentioned it contains 8 miles of scaffolding and if the average weight of each fan was 70kg then the 8500 people would weigh about 600 tons. From the beer belly’s I’ve seen I reckon it’s a few ton more than that.

p.s. the reflection is from a small puddle.

Guaranteed. #Cheats

I weigh 70kg and looking around the beer garden that is not average.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Smiff gone!! 97-3. Woods gets his second of the innings

 

[keaton]

He's obviously a cheating bastard but did Smith just walk without actually being given out?

Looked like it but, for the reason you have given, I doubt it.

Just for once he did walk, no disputes
