Dem's the rules though, right? Whether they were 1 run away or 100 runs away.
*****Official Ashes thread*****
- Thread starter rotters
- Start date
Soldato
What because England haven't done any time wasting of their own? Slightly hypocritical...
^Fair play Jonathan Trott.
Soldato
I'm going to put this down as a win regardless
Talk about sending them home with their tails between their legs, it couldn't get dark fast enough
This will be the ashes narrative, despite all the attempts at portraying England as boring it comes down to Australia captain Clark begging an umpire for a light call LOL.
Soldato
Think Clarke will be getting in trouble for his conduct at the end there, umpire had to push him away!
Man of Honour
Hopefully this farce will get the light laws changed to give the umpires some discretion.
Anyway, congratulations to England for winning the series 3-0.

I am struggling to feel bad, its 3-0 and we pulled light at trafford with a 7.2 reading, this was 6.0 so what can you say.
Soldato
Like they are saying on the BBC text page why don't they start earlier then this problem wouldn't have happened?
Lose overs like yesterday, kick off at 10:30 the next day. I'm guessing the answer is going to be TV not wanting to meddle with their schedules.

Soldato
not when the aussies and there media have been slating us for it only for them to do this so yes hypocritical on the aussies for sure
Soldato
Hahaha umpires getting huge boooos
Soldato
Well yes hypocritical on both sides, no cause for complaint then really tbh.
Soldato
Shane Watson's face says it all lol, nice bloke though so no hard feelings.
Soldato
They had to start late today because the outfield was still soaked from last night's rain.
Soldato
People booing - FFS. Morons.
Shame about the weather but fair play to Clarke for making a game of it

Soldato
That's true in todays case, but I guess the point still stands, if overs are lost the day before (due to slow play/rain or whatever) why don't they start earlier rather than play later?
Soldato
Lol, why did Joe Root get booed?!
Soldato
Its not a booo, they shout Root, it just sounds like a boo
Soldato
They are shouting 'Roooooooooot' rather than booing him
Bit like 'Luuuuuuke' for Luke Donald in golf.
