No.
It'd cost more than the space program to design and assemble, disassemble something like that.

Congratulations to Australia. It has been an intriguing Ashes, albeit not a classic, with neither side at full strength and England appearing undercooked in the opening Tests. An England win at the Oval would probably leave a fairer impression in the history books of how evenly matched they have been.

I won't be congrtatulating them, for one thing the series isn't "won" yet, it's 1-2 with 1 to play.Congratulations to Australia.
They retain the ashes because we can't win the series now, but we can sure win the final game and draw it.

I’m with you @cleavers we need to thrash their backsides at the Oval. The Australian cricket team are bad sportsmen as far as I’m concerned! JMHOI won't be congrtatulating them, for one thing the series isn't "won" yet, it's 1-2 with 1 to play.

They retain the Ashes so I can congratulate them on that, though I’m sure they will feel that they haven’t done themselves justice. It’s rather strange because I don’t think either side has. As I said, an England victory at the Oval would leave a fairer and more honest reflection of the series.I won't be congrtatulating them, for one thing the series isn't "won" yet, it's 1-2 with 1 to play.

People keep saying it's been a "great" series, it's been entertaining yes, but "geat" ?They retain the Ashes so I can congratulate them on that, though I’m sure they will feel that they haven’t done themselves justice.

There has been some very poor batting from both sides for me, and far too much short pitched bowling too (though that was aided by poor batting choices).
Hey ho, onto The Oval.

Good idea, did I imagine it or was/is there something called the Brumbrella at Edgbastard? Just on way back soaked to the skin but strongbow was the winner today.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.

That was a flat cover that unrolled across the ground.
It's considered that it caused the pitch to deteriorate because there was no air to it.
It was immensely heavy to move due to the size.
It broke down and was taken out after a while
Luton Town and Denis Law say hi.Mad sport that, where you can be in a winning position but have it taken away because of the rain.
