This rain can fúck off

[Luis Anaconda]

I exchanged texts with someone I used to work with just the other day who moved to Dubai. She had previously told me how much she missed London and couldn't wait to return. Subsequently she moved to Rome where she has lived for the past 3 years or so.

She now tells me she could never return to London as she is used to sunny climes and couldn't possibly put up with the grey days and rain.

I told her off while at the same time thinking she may just be right. Maybe life really is better in places where the sun shines on a continual basis.

To say hello shame it’s going to play havoc with the cricket this week

Hello

Assuming it's 4 out of 7, whoever is playing a lower team on a rainy day and loses a point is going suffer bigly imo. Eg Windies today.

I see the Aussies have been ball-tampering, again

I know it's a daft question but I don't care, why can't cricket be played in the pissing rain? I think a Quagmire of a crease could be well entertaining :giggity:

The ball becomes like a lump of lead.

There's a story about England vs Aussies and England were all over the Aussies with ball swinging around corners and an Aussie batter managed to get the ball away to the boundary at which point an Aussie fan picked up the ball and dropped it in his pint, after that ball did nothing and the Aussies rattled up a huge score.

Indeed - Pakistan already suffered. India very impressive yesterday - think they should be favourites - going to be open though

David Warner was India’s man if the match though - still serving his sentence

The bails in this competition do seem rather reluctant to come off https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/48575320

Yeah...had a twenty on them at 12/1.

Think it dropped to 5/1 when Kholi brought Bumrah back and they smacked him all over but Kumar was excellent smashing through Smith and Stoinis.

Cnuts....

If it was the other way around Dhoni would’ve gotten India gone.

You know what...Australia blew that yesterday.

I thought they’d turned it into a standard T20 chase but Kawaja, Smith and Stonis blew it.

Even then Maxwell looked like he could take them home but he went too.

Kawaja needs drugs testing for his dismissal imo
