Sunday is out.
There are 2 days left in this test so Draw very much a possibility again |
|
By:
Too much water for me still. If the ball plops into those puddles it is not good. I don't think India would not want to bat tonight. Best scenario for them is three wickets tonight and one tomorrow morning after about 20 mins.
|
|
By:
This is easy - they just call it off for the day and let the sun dry it out for tomorrow. The Indian bowlers will only take a dive in the first over and they will call them off. That's what a Spanish cricketer would do anyway.

Stopped rain AGES ago. What a farce!

Spanish Practice?
ooh you are on eneven ground there Shark. Watch out for the thought Police ! |
|
By:
looks like thats it.. umpires not coming out to inspect until all the puddles are cleared
|
|
By:
It's that same damp area at fine leg where the drains were blocked for Lancs Glamorgan last Friday. Reckon we're nearly done for the day here.
|
|
By:
yes nothing to see here here. see you tomorrow. goodnight.
|
|
By:
Monday p.m. forecast is like today's I'm getting on the Draw

By:
I would be miffed if I had sat around in the sun for the last hour drinking cold beer, eating hog roast with stuffing - hold on - no I wouldn't, who needs cricket to have a good time !
|
|
By:
at the end of the day, anyone, with any brains, would call it off now and if I was a spectator, I would be on my way home by now.

r u named after pj and duncan?

By:
if there is no bad weather about tomorrow i can't imagine the draw price will move much. 1 whole days play will be enough for england to push close to a win.

feck me it's another Sachin documentary !

By:
Draw isn't that unrealistic imo, but it would need 2 things to happen. England bat all day tomorrow. and Sunday is a washout. That leaves india batting out 3 sessions to save the test.
|
|
By:
It needs one thing to happen.......

08 Aug 14 16:58 Monday p.m. forecast is like today's I'm getting on the Draw Trader, Are you telling me you didn't get on the draw at 5's when you knew all this time the weather was coming in? Even I got some draw on 5's! |

Charlatan is a good word!

By:
not if england are closing in on a win. a lot can happen in 1 day.
|

By:
5.40pm last chance inspection. If they're on the pitch at 6pm, they can catch up until 7.30pm. If they're not, we're done.
No refund for the crowd as we've had more than 25 overs (36 overs for your 60 to 100 quid today). |
|
By:
save my money? i don't have any bets open at the moment.
|
|
By:
wouldn't be surprised if the umpires bring the players back out
|
|
By:
Not a chance of play again tonight
|
|
By:
what's this chap on about?
|
|
By:
i haven't bet on any horses.

By:
Total balls up I'm afraid.
All it needed was some french drains which could have gone in the last week after that farce the other night. |
|
By:
have fun trading the weather, i bet on the cricket.
|
|
By:
So we've had Trent Bridge warned for a boring pitch, a great game at Lord's, people not coming to Southampton (and both of those grounds overcharged on the last day), and now the drainage failing at Old Trafford.
Not great for what the public pay. |
|
By:
I'm going to call this off for the day - forget about the umpires, it's off.
|
|
By:
might get another 140 overs in........................
|
|
By:
Apparently we now hear that the ground was never fit for purpose in the first place !
