[Tigers of Old]

Supposed to *smile* down (again) in Sydney the next few days.

But their weather is always so good according to Sydneysiders who love to tell Victorians..
Reality is that storm cells are becoming a feature of their summer these days.

Nice work seeing the Kiwi’s get rolled by Bangladesh.

It rains incessantly up there and has for a lot of years now. It’s weather has become south east Asia-like the last 20 years. Humid, lots of rain. Winter are the better months up there. And even then it still buckets down.

Broad wasting the new ball, though he pitched it up a bit more that over, give Wood a crack.

And at home, too.

Broad now bowls slower than Anderson. Grunting and bowling 131km.

Doesn't pitch it up enough for mine, at 131 km he needs to bowler a fuller length.
Wood will pitch it up.

 

[Redford]

Rubbish bowling. Rain ruining our rhythm.

[Redford]

Soakedny.

 

[tigertim]

Harris scratching around, 12 runs from 50 balls. I’ve watched him play for Victoria and he seems a different player.

 

[TigerForce]

At least we can 'feel' the Sydney test in Melbourne today (and next 2 days) with this annoying humidity.

 

[Redford]

Time to watch the NBA.

Winter definitely better, though not much rain.
Too true about the summer months, its Sydneypour here from Nov to March. And humid as all get out

 

[mrposhman]

Great day for us English. First test of this tour where we haven't lost a wicket on the 1st day

Been a draining tour for Root, it's aged him, he looks like Steptoe from Steptoe and Son
