Should strike Old Trafford off the list of grounds to play. Predictable shitty northern weather going to allow the Aussies to keep the Ashes. Keep Headingley though!

and they are. Southampton will get 1 of the next home Ashes Tests I think.  Well, until the northerners start moaning again.

Are you as unpleasant in real life as your persona projects on here ?

And if you are complaining about "shitty northern weather", Leeds is wetter than Manchester,

We've been through this and I've given my personal testimony that the facts are not true. I'm taking the Donald Trump on this one and calling fake news.

FWIW, I think they should keep OT/Leeds. Been to the rose bowl a few times for England games / tests and its lifeless, much like most southern grounds to be fair. The Barmy Army don't seem to travel down here.

I know there are too many ground vying for the tests, but London always gets 2, one because "it's Lords, innit", and one because the ECB conceded a very advantageous deal for The Oval. Maybe there should be an agreement that OT and Headingly alternate, also Edgbaston and Trent Bridge, and every so often the Oval is dropped in favour of the Ageas. Saying that Trent Bridge is a 'northern' venue is ludicrous, Nottingham is nearer to Southampton than it is to Newcastle.

Why is a bowler who delivers the ball at over 90mph pitching it short to the tailies ? Have they forgotten what the stumps are there for ?

Stupid - yet again we give away unnecessary runs to the Aussie tail. We restrict their man batsmen with good tight bowling but waste that effort. We should have ended the day with a lead.

Just to let you know, it is dry at Old Trafford.

Finally!

Too late though.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts - forecast says it will rain at OT until Wednesday 9th August when it could be dry for the day....

57 miles from my house to OT.

Good last hour or so in the final test, 2-2 would be a right result considering the start we made, shame about the weather as we'd have won it.

Incredible series, one of the very best. 2-2 probably the right result on balance, but I'd say England have been the stronger team, Aus maybe slightly wiser. 

All set up for 2 years time - the Aus team will look very different. Hopefully Wood & Archers body will hold up and we find a spinner. I think we could be bringing the Urn home with us!

the ending Stuart Broad deserved, been a great player. 

Can't help but think he has another 2-3 years in him, but if he wants to go out at the top - he's made the right call!
