I was unaware you were being inquisitive as the tone didn’t come across as that (to me at least).

As I’ve repeated, what we should be able to knock off and what I’m confident we will, are two totally different things.

We’re not going to be trying to bat on a day 5 pitch with hugely uneven bounce that’s also turning square for their spinner. We’ll be playing (if there’s any sodding play) on a day 3 pitch (even if it’s on actual day 4). That’s the point I was making.

Both Australia and England should have scored far more runs in their first innings although at least Australia can point to facing some top class fast bowling knocking them over.

Yeh seems to me that you may have felt that on a couple of posts I've made , im not like that fella

My apologies in that case, sometimes written text can be misconstrued and I believed you were having a go.

No problem mate I understand completely

Funny when it looks like there might be no play all day they work twice as hard! We may get 30mins which will be fantastic for us…

Agree but both sides could easily have been bowled out for under 150 if catches had been held. England were particularly culpable in this regard.

I fear dropping Marsh on 12 will ultimately prove to be the decisive factor.

Call me an old cynic but am I right in suggesting that if they commence for just one over, they don't have to give any refunds out?

Is that in "the spirit of the game?" if true

There is. Luckily, with my Adonis-like physique, I sailed through.

I’d be absolutely fucked mate! I don’t mean that how it sounds

Play starts at 4:45 if don’t start raining again

I think it is 25 overs minimum.
