But Sir James was never a fast bowler, always a swing/seam bowler, but has been England's opening bowler for a long timeHope so - don’t want him to go out on a whimper - not the greatest fast bowler I’ve seen - for me Lillee or Holding - but up there as England’s best ever - oh Jimmy Jimmy, …..

Well the bookies think it’s going to be rained off 2 days to get 6 wickets and it’s 10/11 England 10/11 the draw where if it was set fair England would be 1/500

With no rain, we would romp this test. Unfortunately, not wanting to be a negative newly I think it will end in a draw.
Not a peep from the Majors when the allocations were made, they are just jumping on the bandwagon.
They are completely disrespecting other nations we play also, including the current number 1 ranked India.
Yorkshire was banned from international matches for racism and still got to play them as it was lifted before a match took place and they still sold tickets.
Fancy writing to the ECB without the clubs supporting it.
He was a 90+ mph bowler when he first burst onto the scene.But Sir James was never a fast bowler, always a swing/seam bowler, but has been England's opening bowler for a long time

Weather has shifted again on Sunday, now saying light showers in the afternoon and should be clear by 4pm.
That’s too tight. It would be a collapse by the Aussies. They’re not as good as us but they’re not charlies.

If we get any play at all tomorrow it be a big plus
The weather could actually be our friend, if it stops raining but the atmosphere remains humid, and the sky overcast.
Agh, I’m just hoping. I’ll be so Godalmighty cheesed off if the English weather saves their Aussie arses…
And if we had won/were to win, imagine the atmosphere at the Oval!

Looking at the radar we may get play around 5 to 5:30

On the rain, having seen the computer output from the latest UK Met Office model (and I don't mean the "app"). I think there is more chance of play tomorrow afternoon than on Sunday, obviously it can change, but Sunday looks a complete washout on the latest data.Fair point. But if the rain stopped around, say, 8 tomorrow evening, I'd imagine the ground staff would be out there through the night with heavy duty soppers, along with dragging ropes around the outfield. I'd have thought negligible time would be lost on sunday morning (maybe an hour?).
Other data is similar, though there are some differences, personally I think if it rains quite a lot overnight, then we've probably seen the last ball bowled already.
Obviously I hope not.

Radar is current data, and there's no chance you can forecast play for tomorrow at 5-5:30pm from current radar images (in fact tomorrow's rain is nowhere near any useful radar right now, it's still out in the Atlantic).Looking at the radar we may get play around 5 to 5:30
However the computer data suggests this is possible

If you get what we've had since around mid afternoon (and it does generally track from west to east), you won't see much play tomorrow. While not torrential, it's been that persistent, heavy drizzle we know all too well over here. And it's still at it now.Radar is current data, and there's no chance you can forecast play for tomorrow at 5-5:30pm from current radar images (in fact tomorrow's rain is nowhere near any useful radar right now, it's still out in the Atlantic).

What a great day out that was, just hope the weather stays kind enough for us to get the win. Brilliant atmosphere in the Party Stand!

Do Australia struggle for new players? Seems to be the same old names every series
Agreed and not going to argue - brilliant bowler and a proper Lancashire Lad - you’ll do for me JimmyBut Sir James was never a fast bowler, always a swing/seam bowler, but has been England's opening bowler for a long time
