The Cricket Thread

Just for good measure. Trains are canceled from Basinstoke to Salisbury. So I can't get home either

 

Would it help if Tom tells you that somehow this is also to England’s advantage for tomortow?

 

Weather not looking good for any cricket today. Storm forecast.

 

Not down South. There will be enough play for a result.

 

Most forecasts indicate an hour or twos play probable in the morning.

 

Both sides need just one over to win it.

My prediction is that Chris Woakes will score the winning runs with a one-handed nick to fine leg.

 

35 runs in an over more than a bit of an ask, 4 wickets also a stretch but possible. The Jamies will have squeaky bums, most of us watching to.

 

From the Beeb live text
"Elizabeth Rizzini
Lead weather presenter
It is clouding over now. The wind is picking up and we are expecting some rain. It will be on and off from 1pm until 3pm. Until then it will be dry."

 

Presumably people were let in for free today as there are loads of people in the ground.

 

First ball pulled for 4!

 

Now a french cut for 4!

 

They said on TMS it was sold out in advance.
£20 adult, £1 child.

Full refund if game didn’t make day 5, no refund if even 1 ball is bowled . Full house sold out ahead of the Test Match for today

 

Smith out

 

Smith out. The drama....

 

Or 21 to win…..

 

This is Test cricket at it's best.

 

Yeah, the Oval often sells out day five in advance. One of the few who do. No giving away of free tickets by moneybags Surrey. They will have been very happy at the game being called off last night.

 

Tight decision

 

Oh FFS

 

Clipping by the thinnest of margins.
