This is good for me as it’s 9am here. Get up>watch England win>drink mojitos to celebrateStocks of Accuweather Pvt Ltd must have gone high. They were the only ones predicting something similar
And according to them, play is possible from 2 to 4
In my opinion fines, docking wtc points willSo far, 91 overs have been lost in this test. Obviously we lost a lot today to the weather but over 30 we're lost in the 1st 3 days.
So in effect, with the weather being poor tomorrow, we'll be lucky to get 3 and a half days play in.
Yes the weather is mainly to blame but slow over rates don't help either. You can't blame Oz for slowing things down but we should have done more.
On a more general point over rates are a disgrace and its about time the ICC took the issue seriously.
this works in theory, but then if the team out there has only just gone to field then you’re punishing them for their opponent’s failure.In my opinion fines, docking wtc points will
Never be enough as well as match bans. I think there should be a rule to just bowl all the overs and extend the time more in the last session till it’s done. I mean most countries have good enough light to bowl all the way till 7.30-8pm anyway. If teams can’t bowl the overs in time then punish them and give them more time out there to bowl them
yeah that’s true in that case. I just don’t think anything works right now. What would you suggest? Because thing with over rates I don’t think a lot of the time teams are trying to waste time. A lot of things go to play like if you bowl seamers for 95% of the day or if a teams smashing youfor a high run rate there’s not much you can do.this works in theory, but then if the team out there has only just gone to field then you’re punishing them for their opponent’s failure.
Honestly I don’t know. Things like penalty runs - but we have to be careful as it’s not 100% in the fielding side’s control is ityeah that’s true in that case.

thing I don’t like with penalty runs though it’s kind of like yeah these guys haven’t really earnt it. That’s the thing it’s hard to police it.just say you’re like 3 overs behind the end the day how many runs would you even add. I think most captains just say they concede 10 runs for that they aren’t giving a toss about it as well that’s just runs the other team could of made anyway if you bowled enough oversHonestly I don’t know.

Yeah fines are pointless and no deterrentSo far, 91 overs have been lost in this test. Obviously we lost a lot today to the weather but over 30 we're lost in the 1st 3 days.

Should Brook have taken catch to dismiss MarshHopefully we can get 2-3 hours tomorrow. If we do and Oz hold on, take it on the chin and look to tie the series at The Oval. But if we get on and get an early breakthrough you’d back us to get the job done.
We’ll chase that down in 20 oversAus will probably look to bat til half way between lunch and tea then set england about 280 to win. Should be a thrilling denouement
Agreed it was one of those as quick as a blink of the eye typeHardly a dolly though by the sounds of it
lol that was hardly a chance. Those type of chances your just predicting where it might go and have like a 10% chance to catch itShould Brook have taken catch to dismiss Marsh
