Dale were playing really well at the time and it was a humdinger of a game as you say.
By the time the match was rearranged they had gone completely off the boil.
Does anyone else remember a game at Valley Parade being abandoned at halftime because of fog around the same time? Perhaps the season after?
The fog rolled in during the first half and you couldn’t see a thing.
It took the Ellen Smith’s coach about three hours to get home over Blackstone Edge - the M62 hadn’t been built then.
Think Dale went back and won 3-0 on a Wednesday night when it was rearranged.

Number 7 bus from Accrington bus station goes past the stadium.
An alternative to the 464 is the train from Rochdale via Todmorden which was mentioned previously on another thread (by TVOS?).

I believe so. Two days of refunds for a full house on both days.

Another estimated 16 million dollar loss to Cricket Australia after losing two more days revenue.
Bet the broadcaster won’t be over happy either.
Tough!

In some bygone seasons reaching 52 points was an achievement as it more or less guaranteed survival for another year.
Reaching that tally by the turn of the year is truly remarkable.

Brackley had lost five games on the trot before beating Forest Green today.
Another game which saw the form guide ripped up.
No easy games in this league.

Grafting under floodlights as well. Real commitment.

Could do with him still being out on 7th February!

Are they likely to qualify from their group?

I’d heard that Peterborough were recalling him next month to sell him.
Didn’t have Swindon in the frame though!

The whole fiasco has exposed the fault that in this country top level cricket is becoming more elitist.
Australia has a tenth of the population but anyone can play at school.
The lack of preparation has been evident again; the bulk of the Australian team played three or four Sheffield Shield games before the series started.
The disdain with which the ECB hierarchy treat red ball cricket is another contributory factor.

It would take a massive transfer fee for either club to part with a player.
Neither are skint.
If anything they’re more likely to take out the cheque book themselves.

Hendo would have been proud of that McBride finish and it was nice to see the latter mention this in his interview afterwards.

Does normal test batting include getting out trying to reverse sweep Lyon as Brook did and then standing there in a state of bewildered entitlement. Crazy shot.
As an aside this was apparently the first time that Brook and Crawley have batted together in a test match.

271-4……..
Another century for Head and 52 not out for Carey.
Australia lead by 356.
England are going to have to bat all day tomorrow to save this one presuming Australia declare any time soon. If they bat on the target could even be 500.
Frightening gulf between the teams.

Carey batted well today but was Snicko at fault when he was in the 70s?

They may have been so many postponements at Firgrove 40 and 50 years ago because there was a distinct policy that if one of the pitches was unfit then all games scheduled for that day were postponed.
This was to prevent squabbling about “why aren’t we playing when their game two pitches away is going ahead”.

I totally accept that. It was the time and the place which were inappropriate if you ask me.
Perhaps I’m old school in that respect.
