This is on you, Pep.

England have been saved by the weather loads of times but sadly not this time.
Shame it ended like this but congrats to the Aussies

This is on you, Pep.

And Mahrez putting that penalty into orbit at Anfield. Don't forget that.

I would like to see a bonus point system like the County Championship so we eliminate a drawn series.
Yes it would probably work in Englands favour this time but there would be even more interest in the 5th Test.
Bonus points only come into play in the event of a drawn series. A bit like goal difference !

You know it's a funny thing, maybe I'm just bitter, but I Just. Don't. Feel. Like. Congratulating. Them.
Somehow.

I havent followed cricket for decades but I thought they played on a sunday so if it got rained of they could use Monday

There's a cricket shaped hole in my sports watching summer now..

Ashes are now over, the F1 is rubbish these days and the only competive football on is the Women's World Cup which by most accounts hasn't warmed up yet.

It's why it's hard for some to get into test cricket or sell it to other countries.

It lasts how many days?
You can draw?
You don't finish it if the weather is bad?
In England even though it rains and is forecast to do so you start at 11 and have lunch even if you have been sat on your arse for hours?


It's certainly a quirky concept if you think about it.

This is Brexit’s fault

Hypothetically can’t someone, with all the technology and engineering available in the world in 2023, design some sort of pop up roof that can go over a cricket ground?

It doesn’t need to be permanent at every ground, they just need to make one giant pop up gazebo type structure that the ECB can own and take it around to each ground England play at in key series.
