Before the latest rain arrived, apparently the toss was going to be at 11:00 with a planned 11:30 start.
This is a bit of a pet hate of mine of why post-rain it always has to start at these ‘proper’ times? If the match can be started at 11:25 or 11:22 or whatever the earliest possible time can be? That mixed in with umps after a weather interruption and rain has stopped and acting like they are daydreaming when going out to the middle to check ground conditions instead of ascertaining the earliest possible restart time is expaserating when I’m at a match.

It poured on Tuesday. Cold/cloudy yesterday too.

That was just a passing storm though. Though I guess the weather was dodgy yesterday

Is it getting to the stage where we are going to have to just move the Test away from Sydney?
Have on in Hobart or even Canberra? A second one in Melbourne at Etihad?
Food for thought.

Starc throwing the match ball around on TV in the background there. Nice to see Australia is giving England a fighting chance in the last test by bowling with a medicine ball. Although it might be difficult to get it off the square.

That's an expansive shot to play to your first ball on a deck that could do a little...
