In Australia it apparently doesn't rain any more, so it's not worth wasting the mental effort hoping.

Was raining heavily this weekend iirc.

The magic not quite there for Root like it was yesterday. Looks rather hittable. Take the four, skip.

Root is so desperate for this five-for haha. Might just have to give it up at this stage.

I get the selfishness, but he barely looks like taking it. What if rain arrives now? Should still be looking for the best option of taking a wicket.
