But I have spoken. It won't ever happen.I can assure you that in the 1900s they'd have said that third-Umpires behind TV screens (whatever they were) scrutinising decisions to try to avoid Umpiring errors would never have happened either.
However, both that and the removal of loss of playing time would make the game that much better, as have several things introduced down the years, so hopefully both may at some point be used to the best extent.
Anyway so far today there's been some good bowling and some good batting combatting it.
And in the meantime, England's bowlers are suddenly offering much less threat. Swann not starting well either.BREAKING NEWS: SKY SPORTS COMMENTATORS BRIEFLY MENTION CRICKET
Yeah, I don't care about where you bought your shirt from....

You know, that kinda was the point.They did not have TVs back then so they had a point
Wondering why you'd be supporting the draw?
Don't support England, pretty much always want them to lose. It is petulant and I am happy to follow their selection and hope they pick the best side and are administered well by the ECB but I just have an insatiable desire to see them lose. If I could support England, I would, but I just don't like them as a team. This contrasts to growing up in the late 1990s when I was quite a big England fan - my two idols being Gough and Ealham.Wondering why you'd be supporting the draw?
If you don't mind me asking, do you have Indian heritage or did you just randomly choose to support them?Don't support England, pretty much always want them to lose.

Both my parents are of Indian origin. My father would have been born in India if not for the British Empire (so he was born in Kenya) and my mother was born in India. My father emigrated in his teens and my mother when she was two. I do love England and have massive national pride for England and not for India, which makes it all the more astounding that I don't support the cricket team.If you don't mind me asking, do you have Indian heritage or did you just randomly choose to support them?
Yeah. Id planned to use an exciting finish to go to the pub tonight after my football for the final session.FFS get a wicket already, I'm getting worried already
Ah, I see. For some reason, had always thought you supported England (cricket team) second. Not sure how I've mixed things up TBH.Don't support England, pretty much always want them to lose.

I'm not but perhaps that's because I'm a head-over-heart type. However, the lingering possibility of rain remains a concern to me.FFS get a wicket already, I'm getting worried already
