Looks like we’ll be on and off for the rest of today chaps.

Looking like that, showers all afternoon according to updates. Looking at the forecast Friday looks to be a bit better once the morning showers ease off.

We'll just have to do our own agro version of Test Match Special "rain stops play" on here then.  Or not.

Thats just your opinion though. You think just because you’ve got a weather app on your phone that makes you some sort of expert. Wind it in, you clueless divvy.

Yes, but it's an Army weather app, you University town cunt.

I used my PC, although to be fair the weather forecasts are somewhat hit and miss.

This could end up being a memorable rain delay. 

What do you make of Warner's current predicament with the bat,J?

A bat whose year out of the game brought him a lot closer to the end than a renewal.

It will be interesting to see what happens, although you are struggling for openers like ourselves. I doubt he'll lose his spot, especially if you go on to win/retain the Ashes.

Need more specific times, mate. I blitzed through my morning work so I could spend the afternoon dossing around watching this, but I've got half hour one call left- would it best to do it now, or wait till later?

Covers coming off, could still take a while before any play starts. 

[Brownie]

I doubt we’ll get any more play today. There are loads of little rain cells around, not just one block and they keep coming in.

 

Manchester is a lot harder to predict than Leeds but based on the radar i’d be surprised.

Just let him ramble on, J. He just looks for arguments on any given subject and gets in a huff when people don#t rise to the bait. He's one sad individual. 

Yes that’s it.  Spot on analysis as ever. 

[Brownie]

Chance of an hours play soon.

Which they'll probably interrupt with tea!

Another half century for Labuschagne. 

[Scooby Dudek]

Just found this, McGrath is not happy;

 

 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Load of old Bails at the moment. 

[Brownie]

Nothing happening here, not going well at all for us.

[Jairzinho]

Who the fuck are these trundlers bowling for us?

[Spy Bee]

Not really conditions fit for cricket of a good standard.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

May as well get Leach back into the attack. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

144/3. Overton clean bowls labuschagne for 67, fuck did we need that. Hopefully leads to a few more. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Review on LBW against Head. Looked like it was pitching outside leg, spunked review yet again by Root. 

[Brownie]

That’ll be it for the day. Australia’s day on balance.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I'm guessing this is how Smith is seeing the ball during the Ashes.
