It’s a cruel world sometimes. Here all we need is rain and in NZ all they need is for it to stop raining.
After the goal posts and new turf go in for my club's new ground next week, I'd like a week of steady rain across the Sydney basin.

I agree my house is covered in ash
Car was in the garage all fucking day yesterday.
Backed out this morning, and little bits of grey shit all over the windscreen...
@Bovidae said in Cricket: NZ vs England:
After the hype before the tour started Archer ended up with 2-209 in the series. The Duke ball and juicy pitches obviously make a big difference.
Besides a couple of hostile spells to Smith, he was a bit meh in the Ashes.
@bayimports said in Aussie Bush Fires:
This thing is huge, especially since the north Sydney fires joined and created a mega wall of 60km forefront last night, and no let up in sight..
It's mental.
Considering there are other areas up the coast of similar size, all these fucking boomers on social media saying "oh we had bad fires before when I was a toddler" can go and get fucked.
The North coast hinterland that burned is temperate rainforest. It has not burned like this before, because it has not been dry enough. 
Canadian and US crews arriving at the moment.
Fuck knows what we do when the fire seasons overlap in both hemispheres.
@raznomore said in Aussie Bush Fires:
Again Im nowhere near the actual fire but this stuff is fucken depressing. Not trying to trivialise what the real victims of the fires are going through. However it's 32° and smoke is everywhere. You can not escape it.
Mate I have had a stack of First World Problems over this: pool is layered with dust and soot, cars are filthy, washing can't be hung out etc
But I've got my house, haven't suffered livestock loses due to fire or drought, and I'm not suicidal at the thought it won't end.
Poor bastards in the bush are the ones doing it tough.

@NTA takes a special kind of human to handle that nightmare scenario aye. They are dead set legends.
The issue will be later in the year when the volunteers are exhausted - some of these guys n gals have been going 2 weeks fairly solid. They're not attending their regular jobs and businesses so its hurting the economy as well.
@dogmeat @Paekakboyz every time I think I should do my bit and join the local volunteer fire service, I see footage like that and donate them some money instead.
