Thoughts? #BBCCricket #Ashes
@bbctms Because five days is more than enough. Besides the laws of the game can't be ignored to suite a loser.
@bbctms Why not allow the possibility of 2 days extra play?
@bbctms How about you fix your weather Root. “Summer” my ass.
@bbctms I think…. Bowl more than 11 overs an hour and weather doesn’t have the same impact.
@bbctms It is bad for cricket - and all the new fans that have been drawn in during this Ashes summer - that potentially the greatest ever series can be destroyed by the weather. Why not build in a reserve day to mop up time lost to rain and bad light?
My thoughts are that whilst Joe is right, this is not the time to make this point because the timing makes it look like its just about winning this test match. Joe (and others) should be lobbying for this between matches. Setting that aside, Australia cant win this series. When they win a match its because of Englands style which everyone loves (early declaration) or some dodgy “win at all costs” decision (stumping Bairstow). I think Pat Cummins realised this after Lords and has been pretty down ever since. Whatever happens in this series now, bazball, and therefore England, are the winners. Incredible.
@bbctms Think he means only when it suits England…. Like everything else
@bbctms He won't be saying these things when things are against England 😂
