- If anywhere can save us with 72 hours of continuous rain, it's Manchester. (n/m) (Other Sports) - bird table, Sep 6, 11:01:04
  - Should be playing at Cardiff or Leeds if we want rain (tho obviously we've done Leeds) (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 6, 11:16:04
- Certainly one way not to lose wickets. :) (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 10:43:02
  - Forecast good for Saturday and Sunday, sadly (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 6, 10:52:00
    - Its taken a session out at least. Bit of damp in the pitch, less purchase for Lyon? (Other Sports) - megson, Sep 6, 12:43:49
      - Just seen the covers coming off. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 12:47:32
    - Yep, bat long and take time out the game. If we can get a draw, would make... (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 10:54:46
      - Plenty to play for if we show a bit of character here (n/m) (Other Sports) - loz, Sep 6, 10:56:11
        
        They were 28-2 in their innings. (Other Sports) - APB, Sep 6, 11:40:25
        
        What's your argument? (n/m) (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 6, 11:47:12
        
        I'd be half tempted to relieve Root of the Captaincy and let him just enjoy batting. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 11:42:25
        
        ...and replace him with...? (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 6, 11:48:19
        
        THis is my issue, Love to replace Root as captain for a couple of reasons (Other Sports) - megson, Sep 6, 11:54:36
        
        Could ask Broad but he'd probably review it. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 11:56:34
        
        Chortle. (Other Sports) - megson, Sep 6, 12:02:06
        
        :) I was being an idEot there. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 12:06:57
        
        How about Bairstow or Butler? Both with good Cricketing brains. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 11:49:59
        
        I think if Curran can get in the team regularly, he'll make a good Captain one day. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 11:51:13
        
        Do you think we should play him in the 5th test regardless? (n/m) (Other Sports) - megson, Sep 6, 12:06:09
        
        I think so. Just offers that aggression and spirit, something a tad different. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Sep 6, 12:07:39
