If theres no rain how come they go off

Weather saving Australia

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Oh tea has been called early

 

[honestbharani]

Good call, I think. Seems like the expectation si that the storm will blow through in 20 to 30 mins so very good call to advance tea and save game time.

Haha, those pictures of the groundstaff getting pelted whilst trying to fix down the covers are great.

Actually they should have stayed since about 15 odd minutes were remaining for the session to end. Storm is going to hit when the tea break finishes so they cant go out then. Lose-Lose situation

That was weak. They should have looked to batter Pakistan by an innings. It's not like Pak are going to get more than 100-150.

Please keep talking.

Always fun to see some scott muller highlights

That was a nasty storm. The rain was going sideways and we were being pelted by golf-ball sized hail.

All over in 10 minutes though.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's some high quality drainage.

 

[Starfighter]

Geez we needed that wicket. Still need to get Younis though.

 

[morgieb]

About time.

 

[vcs]

Younis Khan, the king of the 4th innings chase, might get yet another ton here.

It's a bit early to write off YK after copping a beauty under lights in his first pink ball test. He's a class act with the bat and I expect runs from him on this tour.

It's baking hot today so if we can clean up these two wickets in the early session I see no reason not to bat. It's not humid and it's fairly still so being in the field all day is unnecessary on day 3.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a 20-30 over resistance this afternoon. Should be perfect batting conditions.

I hate being right sometimes.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Go Younis!

 

[Jono]

Compare this to previous tests were inability of the ground to dry ruined the tests

 

[Coronis]

Glad to see him getting a score after that NZ series. 33-31 ratio before this test, one of the best ever.
