[Hawksboy72]

And won the series 2-1 away from home.

Alot of soft kiwi dismissals in the first 2 tests.

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.

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.

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.

 

[JimmyBC]

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

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

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

India would only be 18 runs away from the follow-on target. Doubt it makes any difference to the result.

Those 60 runs are the only thing opening up a result. If India were about to pass the follow on target you can forget the win.

Strikers v Thunder tonight is the real Border Gavaskar trophy anyway

Thunder to get knocked over for 15 again to really f*ck the day right up.

 

[Bedi]

Let me guess, raining...

 

[Rowd072]

Hazelwood injury described as Calf Awareness. Cool story.....

 

[Bedi]

Brisbane needs to be scratched

wonder what month they'll host the Olympics. Guess they don't strictly need to be in summer, so around September would be my guess

 

[Lebbo73]

we will today if we get the chance it's our only path to win.

Yep, the follow on has to be enforced if we get the chance.

Gabba Shithole. Build a giant umbrella already you shitgibbons

I don't see any problem with that

 

[Lebbo73]

At the ground here it was coming down but fairly bright all at the same time.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I just hope we confiscated the light meters.

 

[The Terrible Thinker]

Gabba Shithole. Build a giant umbrella already you shitgibbons

Did someone say new NRL stadium?

Would they? They might be all out.

I cannot recall any past Australian side being so afraid of losing as what its fans are these days.

 

[PhatBoy]

Those 60 runs are the only thing opening up a result. If India were about to pass the follow on target you can forget the win.

If those 20 overs had already been bowled and India were already out (a distinct possibility), and Australia were about to bat again, and there was to be little rain left again (doubtful but who knows), it gives Australia the chance to bash 100-150 and send India in to survive a day or chase a target: neither of which they look capable of doing at the moment.

 

[peternorth]

Where does Brisbane sit on the Test Match Rain ladder?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I'm not too optimistic while Jadeja's still out there.

In such a dominating position without a quality bowler.
