O/T:- The Ashes 2023

Shame the weather has ruined the game

Would it kill the cricketing authorities to bring the game into the 21st century and make a couple of extra days available in case of rain to avoid non-results like these? England have done their bit to make test match cricket more modern/attractive, now it's the authorities turn to show willing.

Absolutely agree, it's crazy that the weather can decide who wins the ashes by it ending in a drew!

The issue is the amount of fixtures they cram into the schedule.

I mean its ok we can all look forward to the pointless franchise slogfest in August called The Hundred, the comp the ECB seems to love.

End of the day the stupid decision to declare first day of the series has now comeback to bite us and Stokes has to wear that.
