does anyone actually understand the rules of cricket?

how the fuck can you draw a match?

In response to your query;

1) Yes - but then we play the game at school here in England,whilst you Jocks are tossing cabers,drinking Buckfast wine and acquiring a heroin habit.

2) Quite simple really - neither side has either bowled out the other twice,or scored the necessary amount of runs required,inside the allotted 5 days.
It effectively means running out of time.
You know - like a Scot at last orders.

Flintoff is out. Trott in or 5 bowlers? If Trott's in I'd drop Broad, if Trott's out I'd keep Broad. I couldn't really choose between Harmy and Sidebottome but I suppose if Fred is out then we may need Harmy.

Looks like Prior is out now as well for the Poms, the word is that hurt shoulder in the warm out, Collingwood may keep wicket. It's all happening!!!!! Come On Aussies!!!!

Will be interesting to see Harmison bowl, been on great form recently and imagine hes going to come in very very fired up which will be a boost to us after loosing flintoff.

Why are the Aussies playing no spinner?

Weird.

Strauss given a major lifeline first up, the umpiring in this series has been dreadful. Unless you're English ;)
