I know the rain will probably win out, but you wouldn't want to be chasing many judging by those last two dismissals.

Such good placement. That's such a bad ball though, Marsh hasn't bowled terribly but his bad balls look horrific at his pace.

Pretty sure he got a Michelle on his last tour, so don't wanna reverse jinx him into a repeat, but boy MM looks ordinary when the force isn't with him, doesn't he?

Crazy how slow between overs. Every team would do it but umpires need to grow some balls. Khawaja cried about them losing money, a theme clearly, so even less incentive to actually try to not rip off the customer for either team

couple showers could mean a few hours play gone don’t think it’s ever 100% accurate
The first session will probably be gone, from 2.30ish should be OK including some time for pitch to dry.

This is **** from Brooks, can't even hit gaps. Suppose he might as well bat the time now but been very poor method. Just stand and delivering

that’s why I don’t ge what they doing now and trying to bat to stumps without losing a wicket. They don’t want to be batting an hour tommorow. You can declare now and they wouldn’t lose

Listening to TMS, there seemed to be about a 10 minute gap after Cummins' last over. It probably wasn't quite that long, but this is all pretty unsubtle.

Nah need to bat once I think to have any chance, get another 100 tomorrow and hope we can get 50/60 overs at them.

Cheating aussies cheating the punters out of their money, what do you expect?
