[Gough]

It's 1:17pm local time

Cricinfo is deceiving me.

 

[k31th]

ok, what time did they go to lunch?

12:50 to 13:30 AEST

 

[k31th]

12:50 to 13:30 AEST

or was it 12:45-13:25 AEST... either way, they're continuing off the field because it's raining...

 

[badgrill]

unless it rains...

 

[Lunchtime]

Don’t hold your breath .. instead we have Tubby, Vaughan and various other professors of unintended consequences wanting to bring tests back to 4 days..

Taylor was talking about 4 day Test matches 20 odd years ago. It's not a bad idea but as we know, that fifth day can be needed to decide the outcome of a match.

 

[Cudi]

Why wouldn't lunch be only 20 mins when they went off for 25 mins half way through session?
Seems counter productive to take such a long break when they've been off and on so often.

 

[Plugger35]

Lunch ends just in time for another rain delay, it looks like being a long one too.

 

[Coasters7]

Brisbane needs to be scratched

 

[Pistol Night]

Brisbane needs to be scratched

Put a lid on the campaigner like Marvel

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Well, that’s that I reckon. Draw.

 

[JimmyBC]

Jeez those lunches must be good they spend more time eating than playing cricket, I reckon the Bison would be leading a buffet destroyation.

Can’t play any ****n cricket the boys might as well smash plenty of free lunches. I’d be piling a heap of the shit into Tupperware containers to take home

Yep, we’ve never had a Test Match lost at Marvel due to rain.

Wellington College in Berkshire used to put on a pretty good spread, was one of the highlights playing there

 

[celestial]

We can scratch sydney as well.
Looks like boxing day test is going to be a winner take all match.

Lunch is sacrosanct

 

[Hawksboy72]

And won the series 2-1 away from home.

Alot of soft kiwi dismissals in the first 2 tests.

Feel like 4 day test matches would work better for teams outside the Big 3.

Any series involving the Big 3 you would contemplate having 5 days.

A lot of soft England ones in the third.

 

[SSwans2011]

This rain should pass quickly at least, but not looking good for a result.

 

[PhatBoy]

Almost as though Australia could now do with the 22 overs worth of time they spent making their last 60 runs.

I'm getting hungry now I reckon I could mow down a row of cupcakes like the Bison on heat.

 

[eddiesmith]

Lucky break for Australia with all this rain saving them after they picked unfit bowlers to play.
