Chosen One
Unfortunately we are about to lose the second session.
I think the wins just about touch and go for us, which is going to make the final extended session in the dark a hard slog.
It’s a draw to win the series imo. Especially as will likely lose one of these two.

Funnily enough markets take the opposing view to most of us. Australia 80% chance to win the Ashes outright. I think a 30% chance of a draw is madness unless someone meteorologist knows more than what’s being put out.
Yet another new ball...lol.
Draw is second favourite but we are still favourite so looks like they think there will be rain in the next session. 30 overs to get 146 runs or shut-up shop if we get in trouble.
Nasser going on about despite the ball you still have to bowl well... blah blah blah. Any decent bowler is going to take wickets and look a million dollars in those conditions and with that ball... (Stark aside if his erratic side turned up). Trying to deflect attention from ballgate.

Check the prominent seam on the 'used' ball. Flat as a shirtcarters hat on the old one....

Depending on how many overs will be lost due to rain we need to come out after lunch looking to score quickly (nothing stupid). Get the margin below 100 before the new ball with ideally both Smith and Head still at the crease but at the very least one of them and then look to put away the bad balls with the new ball which should fly to the boundary. If Smith can anchor the innings, really no reason why we should lose this test.

With this rain is a draw most likely?
70 overs? Hard to see a draw if there is no weather

Looks like there could be more rain interruptions going by the weather radar.
Imagine thinking you have a free review of a catch you know you dropped.
Thankfully this is the last day, I've had just about enough of these campaigners.

A ball hitting the ground before the fielder has full control over it/their movement.

Great to hear Ponting calling for an investigation on sky. Those umpires should be ashamed in themselves
