gone back in a time capsule here...9 runs in 22 mins rather than the other way round
is test cricket back?  |
|
By:
Ball not doing a whole lot. Getting ready for a big England lay.
|
|
By:
this time last match aussies were already 6 down.
|
|
By:
Your mum....
|
|
By:
They want the match to last longer than 3 days. The draw is a runner.
|
|
By:
looks like oz have a game plan...
|
|
By:
I would be worried now if I had laid at 5.1
|
|
By:
oz looking @300+
|

By:
I am back on the draw! Can't blame myself for chickening out earlier, decorum est nobis.
Track looks ok for next three days before it rains. Grass should keep the pitch together imho |

By:
australia are playing scared they scoring 1.2 runs an over
|
|
By:
but maybe this is the best way to play and frustrate the english medium fast bowlers
|
|
By:
It used to be called Test Cricket slip! Good for them
|
|
By:
Playing scared? lol. Knuckling down for a change. Seeing off the new ball. If Aus are going to make a total, it comes from top 3 lasting the first 20-30 overs. Plenty of scoring to come to up the rate. Only early.

Double spaces are not your friend...

why did it take 3 test match losses for them to learn
|
|
By:
T20... IMO
|

proper test cricket of yore=slowly,slowly catch a monkey
|

australia lost 5 out of the last ashes series against england
|
|
By:
last 6
|
|
By:
Have chickened out too Whispering Death. levelled out red. Watch the wickets tumble now.
|
|
By:
? England lay all the way for now.. Surely?
|
|
By:
australia middle order is fragile
|
|
By:
Aus 2.54 on what basis exactly?..skinny imho
|
|
By:
ATM because they don't look like losing a wicket and have the ball in the last innings.....
|
|
By:
Wicket doesn't look likely, but traded out now to no position. Back to watching. Few hundgey up, nice and safe...
|
|
By:
Rain Sunday Monday?
|
|
By:
surprised australia are batting so slowly tbh considering this is a friendly
|
|
By:
why not just go out and play it like a one day match?
|
|
By:
think a lay of Aus now could be apposite
|
|
By:
They should know. Predicted the next 100 years of "climate change", so should be able to know what the weather is doing this week....
 |
|
By:
think it would be remiss and poor of Eng to lose this test match
would leave a sour taste in collective mouths |
|
By:
lol. Sure they are.....
|
|
By:
Is exactly the same thing, over differing periods of time.
Climate is predicting the weather over a certain "longer" time frame than the weather over a shorter time frame. If they can predict the weather over a long period of time, ie climate, then why not the short term?  |

By:
best to get Michael Fish to adjudicate!

By:
Sorry to get political and correct on a cricket thread... Hate to provoke actual thought...
|

By:
of course they are, that's a scientific fact. Weather is what the atmosphere does in the short term, hour to hour & day to day. Microscopic disturbances can lead to large scale changes. A butterfly flaps its wings in Bali and six weeks later a wedding is ruined in Birmingham. Climate is the long term average of the weather over a number of years. It's shaped by global forces that alter the energy balance in the atmosphere. Changes of the sun, tilt of the earth's axis etc. Those are broadly predictable.
