  1. Should start giving penalty runs, that would speed the over rates up no problem.
  2. Utterly baffled as to why England delayed taking the new ball. That should be debated more than the early declaration imo. As it turned out with the weather the only reason the match didn't end in an almost certain draw was down to the declaration.
  3. Root might not be the greatest bowler ever, but he has the knack of getting big game changing wickets.
  4. And that's what makes it all the more bizarre. They've said there will be a minimum of 67 overs available, God knows how they work that out when the whole morning and a bit of the afternoon was lost.
  5. The one thing I always find astounding is the hard and fast finish on the preset time rules. Day 3 was obviously a near washout and they played an extra half hour last night to make up some of the shortfall. I can never quite get my head around losing overs in the height of summer when they can comfortably play on past 6.30. Think 6 overs were lost on day 1, and a few on day 2 as well.
  6. Could still go either way, certainly wouldn't be putting any cash on it.
  7. Think so, but could mean rejigging a lot of fixtures for that division, and they want to put all the league fixtures out at the same time.
  8. Two teams unable to finish tours due to bikes and equipment being stolen overnight.
  9. All ready to go, but needs to wait on the SPFL fixtures coming out first for groundshare arrangements, particularly Glasgow Uni at Airdrie.
  10. England desperately needed that wicket.
  11. Yep, to me it smacked of "look at us, look how maverick we are". I could have sort of understood it if they were down to 2 tail enders, and it might have been worth the gamble if they had got a wicket or two before the close. Root was still there though and looking in great nick, could easily have added another 50 almost single handed.
  12. Aussies set 281 to win. Moeen's ability to bowl and how effective he can be with a sore finger could play a big part in the outcome.
  13. Exactly like last year's Open.
  14. And if Rory does come up 1 shot short, it was yet another poor wedge shot that cost him the bogey on 14.
  15. Imo if Rory birdies the last he wins it.
  16. Getting interesting now
