Surely they should just play under the lights until the 90 overs are up?!

 

[domalino]

We should have batted until tomorrow afternoon…

Should have, but the second best option is get 5 overs at them under the lights.

Realistically, how many overs left in the day?

True, but I’d imagine we’ll get bowled out off the last ball of the day…

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Aussies are 20 overs short at designated end of play time.

That’s dreadful.

Game stops at 11.30, 10 mins for the swap, so they'd get 20 mins if they get out now, so 3-4?

Enough to do some damage, especially against a non specialist opener like Head in very difficult conditions.

 

[waspish]

Would be nice to come back tomorrow and bat for 30mins!

Starc though carrying the Aussie team again

They’ve only bowled 69 so there must be a good few left and bad light shouldn’t be an issue!!

 

[Claytop]

Just woke up, poor start?…

Ok, cheers - so not much chance of having a decent bowl at them today whatever happens now

 

[domalino]

The aussies are wasting time so they obviously don't want to bat now.

Bazball is supposed to be about doing what the opposition doesn't want you to do at all times.

Cricketers should stop moaning about batters time wasting the fielding side here a shit scared of coming out tonight they are wasting time!

 

[M18CTID]

Jofra teeing off I see

It’s an absolute fucking disgrace how far short of the expected overs in a day teams are every game. Fans paying big money for tickets and nothing is done about it

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Might as well, now

 

[M18CTID]

Might as well, now

It's the right time to do it

That’s dreadful.

They get fined 5% of their match fee per over not bowled. Don't think there's a cap on that.

It doesn’t seem to stop it though. Maybe it’s time to add 10 runs per over not bowled.

 

[DiscoSteve]

I see Archer is having a swing now

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Jofra to open next game.
