I'm surprised they haven't abandoned it yet, it's not stopping any time soon.

So frustrating

Not for me I’m doing a rain dance:)

Still got food and beer to sell at inflated prices.

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

I said earlier in the thread 15/4 good value, I like even numbers so had £105.27 on it. '

The forecasts can be well off so wasn't confident until 2pm today.

Just can’t fathom why they could not start early 9.30 ish or finish later given the forecasts but then again it may be too simple

I've said my piece, and this will be my last word in this particular exchange.

I honestly didn't mean it to come across as me arguing with you. I wasn't, far from it. Apologies if it came across that way I'm just very frustrated that a chance to take the Ashes to the last test has gone. It may well be that, if we had declared an hour earlier, we probably wouldn't have taken the extra 6 wickets in the extra hour's bowling and would have needed some time today, which we wouldn't have got anyway. It's just "grrrrr".

Old Trafford should always be the first test so it’s not important

Sorry Paul but the first test is as important as any other if not more so. Yes you have four tests to catch up but it can set the tone.
I understand what you are saying however.

Bloody stupid not to call it off.

Isnt it because the wicket will still be damp at 9:30

Maybe it’s that. I bow to your knowledge what about 10am lol all I know is surely there could be a few hours sneaked in from somewhere
