I'm not the only one asking then

Smith gone. C Bairstow B Wood

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Terrible shot Smith.

Smith walks but it didnt look like there was any contact to me!

If the king of the Instareview walks, he hit it

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

If the king of the Instareview walks, he hit it

Which is what made it odd - from the replays, it didnt look like clear contact so I am amazed he didnt review

 

[Wolftone]

Good of him to walk as the umpire wasn't going to give it

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Great bowling Woody

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If Australia do get away with this (which will only be due to weather from here) then it's a ridiculous escape. Awful team selection, awful tactics, awful bowling, throwing away starts with the bat and we've flippin' murdered them.

Whatever happens from here, it's been a fabulous series, good cricket, games going to and fro, plenty of drama and controversy, all matches nail biters. Be shame if we can't take it to the last match.

Weather has changed since I looked this morning and now saying Sunday is a total write off again for the north. Bit shit to have two solid days of rain!

Excellent cricket again from England today just gutted it looks like Australia are getting a weather reprieve. They look done in big time and know the momentum shift is going to be hard to stop.

 

[Wolftone]

Yeah big shame if this test is washed out, we've hammered them in this one and deserve to level the series.
They can say they've missed Lyon, but we've been missing Leach the whole series. Moeen has come in and done a good job, their problem If they didn't select Todd Murphy for this one.
They looked completely befuddled since the start of this test.

Is what it is and even if they retain by default on Sunday I still want us to beat them at the oval. Firstly another 4 years will go by without them winning on our soil, we can claim a moral victory and point to the weather saving their skin plus stump gate.
Love the way the Aussie pundits have regressed from their cocky arrogance to their feeling sorry for themselves attitude very quickly.

Rain should clear by early afternoon tomorrow so that’s good news

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Todays main rain belt has cleared Dublin. There might be a chance of some play later today but it depends how heavy it is in the meantime I guess.

 

[sycophantia]

Met office is saying rain all day and tomorrow atm.

Sun is out in Co. Wicklow at the moment. Although it is generally overcast with a heavy humid feel to it.
Hopefully we can get an hour or two of play this afternoon and knock them over.

Looks like it’s going to stop, or at least become showers, not long after lunch.

Anyway don't worry lads, I put a few quid on the draw yesterday afternoon. It worked in the last game
