Today's cricket

Rain is looking good which is more than I can say for the English batting :thunbdown:

Ashes retained thanks to the Manchester Weather :thumbup:

Yes, it's weird seeing the players being mobbed by the crowd for avoiding losing thanks to not being able to finish the game due to the weather. Again, difficult to explain to a non-cricket fan.

But speaking from a cricket fan's point of view. Yeah, in your faces everyone from Australia! Sport brings out the best in us all.

Another reason why cricket is a completely bonkers game. I think a 5 day test should have the hours of play set in tablets of stone and they should keep on playing between rain showers until the time is played. Either that or they should make it an indoor game

Yes. I wouldn't have believed this headline. Very bizarre. Would you drop him because of this? Is he a role model or a cricketer, or both?

He should stick with spinning and leave the bouncers alone

Lancs a bit unlucky last night, chasing 202 they fell one short. Brown's dismissal looked a bit dodgy to say the least, given out bowled when the ball didn't hit the wickets, the keeper knocked the bails off with his gloves. Not sure where the square leg umpire was looking to miss that but the keeper must have known what happened

This has gone on, plus the images of the crickets smoking on monday night out in town. One thing i like about cricket compared to footy, is that crickers are more reserved and more professional, however these images/stories have slightly tarnished their image.
