Final Ashes Test
 

Not looking good for the aussies. Metcheck released the following today:

"The weather's not looking good towards the end of this week if you're an Aussie. Low pressure is set to push in slowly from the West and remain an unsettled influence across many parts into the weekend bringing general rain, followed by sunshine and heavy showers. Of course, if the rain consistently delays the final test match from Thursday, then the match will end a draw, and England will have won the series."

Shame really - be nice to see it end with another English victory. :)

for once there will be many English (& Welsh) people who will not complain if it is a rainy weekend :D

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

That's almost true, I think that the way both teams have been playing, and really we should be 3-1 up at the moment, I think that it is the aussies that are praying for rain.

:D

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

The rain at Old Trafford saved the Aussies. It should be all over but I reckon the Aussies will win the last test and scrape a draw.

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

If Australia wins the toss and elect to bat first and put a good performance i believe they can walk away with it. :)

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

lol - but what happens if England put in a 'good performance' too ...

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

In theory that shouldn't happen :p ;) :D

But the best team in the day will win, whoever it is congrats.

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

I think you are right, it all depends on the toss, who wants to bat against Shane Warne on a last innings wicket. England need to win the toss and bat first.

:D :p

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

Isn't this Shane Warne's last game (so he'll be really up for it being a good one)? And Simon Jones is out sick. So really it's looking better for the Aussies?

;)

Anya.

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

Yep - Warne's last test over here. Shame Jones is out, but if they use Paul Collingwood I don't think it'll matter - he's an all-rounder nearly on a par with Flintoff. :)

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

Not looking good for the Aussies, heavy showers forcast for Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I'll piss myself if it's a rained out draw.

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

It'll soon be time for the Rain Dance............especially as Jones is not playing.

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

Could someone please explain, the reason England will win the series if bad weather. I thought that if it's a draw the the Aussies win by default.

Re: Final Ashes Test
 

5 tests in the series - so far 1 draw, England 2 wins, Oz 1 win. So if the last one is a draw then the series wil be 2-1 to England
