[katana]

Yep place is a compelte dour shithole

where do you live?

 

[Interceptor]

Looking like wet start to the match tomorrow, coupled with a miserable top of just 13 and a chilly evening to follow.

 

[Headless]

Unreal team Australia had in this game they're replaying due to the delayed start.

Why are England trusted with hosting games.

They don't know how to weather.

I think it was something like:

Gilchrist
Hayden
Ponting
Martyn
Symonds
Clarke
Hussey
Hogg
Lee
Gillespie
McGrath

Ridiculous.

Yeah, I was looking forward to it. Probably won't see a ball.

the only aussie cricket I've tuned into in ages as it's on at a decent slot on friday night and it's 'delayed due to wet outfield', this sport ffs.

 

[kenneje]

Just tuned in lol.
Is there an estimate for when they'll get on?

It most likely will be a shortened match, possibly a 20 over side game. Radar has rain clearing about 2 hours later.

players are warming up according to cricinfo, so that's a good sign

 

[NYRB]

OK we have an update :

12:57 Local Time, 11:57 GMT, 17:27 IST: "Toss set for 1.30pm," is the latest post from England Cricket (@englandcricket) on X. And, it's going to be a shortened game - 43-overs-per-side match! Let's hope that the weather stays clear.

"A wet morning in London"
They say that like it's slightly unexpected

 

[NYRB]

Australia (Playing XI): Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh(c), Steven Smith, Josh Inglis(w), Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Harry Brook(c), Jamie Smith(w), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid



Australia have won the toss and have opted to field at Lords

 

[Plugger35]

It looks like the awful London weather has cleared and we will get a game on or at least the start of a game.

There still looks like there is some rain around on the radar to the west of London but not too much, not enough for a washout.

 

[freo_leo29]

play in 15 mins


fingers crossed

 

[freo_leo29]

pretty good xi we have put up

Carey in the field is wild

not sure on Abbott

 

[NYRB]

I reckon we'll get a game.

 

[NYRB]

it was the right choice of Bison to send England in.

 

[hawkman]

How does Abbott still keep getting games?

 

[Plugger35]

I can't remember many ODIs being played this late in September but I guess they need to shift them back due to The Hundred.

The domestic T20 competitions take precedence these days over international T20s and ODis.

It's the same in Australia now, the Big Bash games get played in the summer prime time and then the internationals after that.

 

[freo_leo29]

raining again

 

[Moonwatcher]

We'll be lucky to get a 20/20 and I'll still be sleepy for the Grand Final.

 

[NYRB]

Id imagine overs start getting lost now if we lose further time, given the innings was already reduced to 43 overs a side.
