So it relates to the tiny capacity of the ground?
At the risk of giving you great pleasure, yes, it does relate to the capacity of the ground.

In fact I've been a believer that they should increase the capacity of Lords for a while, not least because I made an attempt to get tickets for this fixture, and the same one in 2010, only to find the game was already sold out.

What's the rules with weather refunds in England? They have a system here where if they don't play X overs you get a refund. I'm not sure what the figure is, but it used to be if they bowled one ball in the day your were ****ed. Thankfully they changed it.

At a Test Match I believe you get a nowt back if 20 overs are bowled. Think you get half if it's between 10 and 20. Not sure about odi's, not attended one in a while.

Well I'm not sure on the rules for ODI's, but in tests, if they bowl less than 10 overs you get all your money back, and if they bowl less than 25 overs you get half your money back. The same thing applies with early finishes. So if you go to the 4th day and one team wins it in 20 overs you'd get half your money back.

That sounds pretty reasonable, I imagine it's something similar here.

I mean, it could always be better but at least you get something.

Wade clueless against the spin there. Should have been giving all the strike to Clarke.

Bit of a **** Wade. Always spits it in a demonstrative fashion when he's out.

As I said. Victorian.

He's an interesting case study, really. He's doing a lot to prove the theory that Victorian arsehatness is a learned behaviour that can be picked up later in life given he was born in, grew up in and has spent most of his life in Tasmania.
