I'm in the same boat foinavon. Wondering if a bit of rain in the air will help the bowlers early on. With a couple of early wickets do you think we would see much of a drop in eng price?
|
|
By:
A couple might not be enough, really need to see four out by lunch. If England can limit Australia to a reasonable score then make a good start themselves the price should come in significantly. Hoping for a price around 4 in order to reverse out. My red on the draw is twice that on Australia.
 |

By:
That's a lot of wishful thinking though. If Australia get well past 400, it starts to look grim.

Pitch dark in London, heavy rain and big thunderstorms - if this spreads north the afternoon session may consist of playing cards and smoking ****

Can't have England at 11 make them more like a 33 poke
Not too fussed about the win just want to eat up time and see this out could turn into a very boring test this so unlike the other two tests |

I'm working in media city so 1 mile from ground
Working all weekend so will be looking out the window just trading the weather :-) Think oz still a fantastic price here England on back foot expect oz to post around 500 by tea today leave 30 overs to bowl at England and try to get into them early 1st time England under pressure here England gone 2-0 up in recent ashes series and lost the 3rd test both times heavily think they take there foot off the peddle a bit Just think there's two possible outcomes draw or oz and 9/4 is huge as they are going to go all out for the win |
|
By:
good luck
nice weather is coming your way  |
|
By:
Stopped raining :-)
Clearing up quite a bit the sun is trying to make an appearance as well Very muggy out probably about 18-20 degrees No heavy rain around just drizzle so that is a positive |

By:

This game all depends on Englands batting, fancy cook and or trott to turn up this game.
England bat a total 8/7 sessions oz cant win in my opinion |

Given that this looks like being a 4 day game due to Mondays appalling weather forecast - i'm now an England layer at 14s
Does anyone see England winning this in 4 days?Cool |
|
By:
England are a good lay at any price (as are Australia as well for that matter)
England have already thrown their hat at this game and anyway by the time rain intervenes (and it will be well before Monday) England will still be at the crease for the first innings. If Australia could get to 500+ and declare England are liable to be only 5 down for the same total on Sunday |
|
By:
Forecast for Sunday now very wet and Monday a washout. 18 wickets in a day for the AUS popgun 'attack'?
well you never know with the ENG 'batting' |

The reality is, we are told that they know the weather in 10-20 years time and how we are causing all these issues with the weather, yet they still have no fcuking clue about the weather from day to day. Were supposed to lose play yesterday.

guys BBC online weather update 4.05pm today
sunday - persistant light rain followed by heavy rain Monday - more rain full details see other thread- just posted before 5pm today hope this helps |

By:
Checked the weather on various sites.
Some quite bizarre contradictions. The BBC has rain/heavy rain yet on their predictive radar it shows no rain! Other sites predict a largely dry day with plenty of sun. |

In truth it doesn't matter anymore now that England have avoided the follow on. I'll never understand how people were so anxious to get with the draw on the first 2 tests and yet it has taken until this Afternoon for them to realise there cannot be a result in this Test.
Did Australia suddenly become world beaters on 2 weeks R&R to make 527 a match winning score. Even now at 1.2 if you had the money it is picking up chips in truth. There won't even be a second innings here in my view not to mind a result |

We've avoided the follow on??
There won't be a second innings?? Care to explain.. |
