[Cricket] England vs Australia, Ashes 4th test - Old Trafford

[PILTDOWN MAN]

We still have Leachy!

Start getting those glasses cleaned

Six close catchers, I'd so give the bat the biggun and scare the shit out of the lot of them.

Pitch has lost its bounce.

 

[Surrey Phil]

My god, incredible how much the Aussies are getting an old ball to swing!?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Congratulations to the groundsman for producing this fantastic pitch

Nice flat shinny mud, just like the rest of the square

I think you're sandpapering around the facts.

It's all about the towels they all have tucked in their trousers. If not that it's the nice cherry the old codgers give them if the one on the field goes soft.

Looking good so far but I'm sure I saw a speck of dust on his glasses, sure they need a good clean.

Should be saying to the umpires the lights are reflecting on the lenses

 

[The Wizard]

Come on British weather do us a bloody favour roll those big grey clouds in.

THIRD New ball in Cummins hand vs Jack Leach, this could be the end boys.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I can hardly see it's that dark.


And do shut up Warne

 

[The Wizard]

Someone cut the power supply to the flood lights, without those the light looks dodgy

Love it! Loads of England fans in the crowd opening umbrellas, even though there’s not a drop of rain!

Glasses cloth in hand

What happened to the 4 shadow rule? I remember the umpires earlier in the series taking the players off because the artificial light had taken over, you can see the 4 shadows beginning to appear now.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Sure those gloves need changing

 

[The Wizard]

Time for a fake injury, anyone got a blood capsule?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I'd be saying to the umps can't see it's too dark, it's grim up here

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Why aren't we doing the Aussie whining thing and complaining about the light?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I thought it there was a really dark cloud then realized it was a shadow around the RED button on screen....booooo
