Never mind lunch at 12.20.
Get on then.
Not like everyone’s been sat around all morning!

Still a bit of drizzle on and off where I am in Gorton so probs the same at the ground. I’m off over to Tramlines Festival in Sheffield now so will be following it whilst getting soaked in a field. Hopefully they get on long enough to see the Convicts off and set up a finale next week.

Sat around all morning, pitch OK to play on. So they all fuck off for a chip muffin and a brew .Knobhead authorities.

Play to resume at 1pm if no more rain.

Edit: Covers going back on. Well, that small seed of hope didn't last long.

Who could've seen that coming?

The lunch now saves 10 overs in theory, they aren't lost until there is an hour's stoppage so only lost 5 so far.

85 overs still possible lol.

There does seem to be a bit of a gap between now and 15.30. Not totally rain free, but I think that’s the only hope.

Yesterday I put a post on here that it wasn't raining at the golf and that was a good sign. 2 hours later they were playing. Right now the rain in Liverpool is biblical....

I backed the draw on Friday ?? 1/16 now paddy power it will pay for my Athens flight:):)

I think this is his DEFCON-1 attempt at jinxing it. Probably too little too late. Should have come in with this sooner!

How much did you bet? I got 15/4 two weeks ago based on the forecast and I has been a lot shorter since.

ECB don’t want to do refunds, they’ll try and get some cricket on if it stops pissing it down

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Is it still pissing down?

Got 7/4 get £330 back if it’s a draw:)

No wonder they want to do away with Old Trafford in the Ashes. Constant rain and stands made of scaffolding.
