TBF, I've heard oldies say they've never seen such a bad one, ever. I mean take last year... oh, no, I mean the year before. Nope, the year before that - it was a moderate time.

Weren't they talking about drought at the start of summer

(well that is what timmmmmy told me from when he was there)

Barely any rain in the autumn/winter months. Makes people panic, for some reason.

On the bright side, the soggy weather should keep the terrorists away from the Games. If not that, then the rooftop rocket-launchers. Shocked

Seems not. I heard the Bill has swooped on a bunch of extremist Muslim fu*kers who may have been plotting an attack on the games. Shocked

IJL Trott in shocking revelation:

"We don't really concentrate on strike rate."

At least the Satdy forecast is only 50% chance of rain.

Has Blighty changed its name to Grimsby Town?

Farking Aussies, bit o' precipitation and you turn into a bunch of mincers.

Summer's only just started...

(Still plenty more weeks for it to rain)

So the historical average high for mid summer in this area is just 20c?
Makes Tassie look positively tropical.

Well i'll be damned. It looks like they're going to start on time.

yes, no MJ!

Finn does look the bizzle in ODIs... shame he can't keep such tidy lengths in Tests.

by skully Sat 07 Jul 2012, 11:01

0/3 off 4 overs?? We are shit, that is all.

Watto will shirley play on any time now, or the Reinventor will pop one up to midwicket?

Warner was nowhere near that. Not sure why he's playing across the line in these conditions.

by skully Sat 07 Jul 2012, 11:09

That's not the English method. That's every other f*cker in the entire world method, isn't it?
