Any chance of a full day of rain tomorrow with zero play?

Can you imagine how LIVID the one-eyed press would be if England were let off with a (undeserving) draw?

It'd almost* be worth turning the TV on for!




*(Not quite - even that spectacle isnt worth the pain. Its a little known fact by Australian FTA tv is banned for military use as making people watch it contravenes the Geneva convention - its so torturous)

8 for 168, deficit of 393.

Looks like England will drag this into the 5th day.

Hope not! I don't think anyone including England want that really.

Series over for mine, in the top heaviest defeats for England and is difficult to come back from those.
