It sucks because the last 3 days have been dry, but forecast looks awful for the next 5. Still pissing down here, I'm not expecting play to resume today.

With rain forecast for the next few days, it's looking likely that this will be a draw.
Sets up a huge Boxing Day test which will likely be the decider given that the Sydney test is a fair chance of ending in a draw too. More than half of the SCG tests in the last ten years have ended in one.

If it isn't Sydney it's Brisbane.
Play all tests in Adelaide and Perth

Remember when they used to show highlights during rain delays, rather than crapping on?
Is BJ legitimately getting pissy and upset about KOK cracking jokes about him....?
Numpty decision to move this test from the first slot.

These English umpires will feel right at home with the weather we're expecting across this test.

If any ground in Aus needs one its this joint
All planned. It's the same harmless recycled jokes. The fake tan, the pair he got in Barbados, born in NZ etc
They forgot about Sir Wank Forrell

If that is meant as a negative, it's not. I've previously pointed out that an average of around 30 is not unusual for quality Test off spinners.
As for your following statement, I assume you are referring to Australian Test bowlers?

Nah the only thing that needs to change about the Gabba Test is moving it back to the first Test of the summer.
It's been one of the most reliable venues for an actual contest between bat and ball for a long time now. Have to go back over a decade for the last drawn Gabba Test.

Don't know why India stuck with Anil Kumble for so long. He only averaged marginally better than Lyon at a marginally worse strike rate while playing most of his Tests in India. Clearly not good enough for a Test spinner.

There is still a good test match to watch going on in sunny Hamilton between NZ and England if you have Fox/Kayo.

Was there a reason why the Gabba test was moved from November and into the wet season?
