Oz were better in two matches, England in two and for the bulk of another. It’s such a strange line of argument to persist with

Haha big Monty saving a test for England in Cardiff I remember like 5-6 years ago seeing him at some random pub in Sydney with his team mates after they had just finished a club game was the most random thing

Anyway it looks as if there is a window from 11 to 12 but I doubt they'd be able to get the ground right after all the overnight rain. Another break from 2 to 3 so that's probably the play would happen and it's rain again afterwards

Above is according to Accuweather. Met Office offers play from 2 pm to 6 pm. If you go by weather. com, they could decide the fate of the Ashes from rowing

Bah I give up. Think there will be play and the game will be decided by the new ball

It’s actually crazy how much damage that did to his batting career then Johnson finished it off guy was close to an all rounder back then. After that it was a bouncer every now and then to broad to becoming 5 bouncers an over to him lol

Think Johnson was before the Indian seamer. But the combination definitely killed him off.

Had a lot of promise as a youngster with the bat, but as his bowling got better his batting went the other way. Prioritised the right one I’d say.

In difficult circumstances I think we did OK to hang on (even on a flat deck). Shame Marnus got out before the rain came again, but still a good innings. At the very least, it means that we might make England bat again.

Tomorrow’s forecast is hard to call but it sounds like we may be lucky to get any play at all. Then again I said similar things about today….
