O/T The Ashes

[GlennMiller]

Crap way to end the competition! A deciding test at the Oval would have been immense and would have attracted massive viewing figures in both hemispheres. The cricket authorities must look at alternative ways of ensuring a result can be reached on the pitch.

Elite, International, World class sport decided by rain in Manchester sums up the lack of common sense in cricket.

But we did not lose the Ashes because of the rain - Where was Woakes for the first 2 tests? What inspired declaring so early in the first test? - Totally outplayed in the 2nd test - No team has won the Ashes from 2-0 down since Sir Donald Bradman flipped the 1936-37 series' script on its head with consecutive scores of 270, 212 and 169 in the final three Tests. And England have never done it.


The rain papered over the cracks.
