    30 overs sessions, not 90 over days. I was wondering if maybe in the case of drawn series, whoever racked up the least over-rate penalties should get the trophy. Basically every Test has somebody's name and a trophy attached to it. run penalties change the actual scoring, a far bigger change to...

    Should have come back on, light and weather permitting, seven minutes ago? Does look bloody dark though.

    The answer to that is to get your fourth bowler to rattle them by bowling short with five men in the deep.

    But because there's a weather delay, being almost an hour behind the rate when play stopped will mean no penalty.

    Its the scheduled tea break, but could have played until 3:10.

    ICC Test match Playing Conditions Should happen. It is well within 30 minutes of the scheduled break. Assuming I read 11.6.3 incorrectly in the absence of other agreement tea should be taken immediately.

    Looking like the rain will hit soon, then come back a few minutes after the covers get lifted.

    Traditionally he does bowl some shite, but used to have a habit of getting one to do something in between. Unable to bowl to a plan, but the odd danger-ball.

    tbf, much of it may be a response to the fields that have been set, no idea how much say he has had in that. Encouraging, or permitting, so much short stuff .....

    Bring in the field, save ones, bowl fifth stump. See if they, especially Brook, do something to try and force changes and maybe do something stupid in it. At least that Green over isn't six short balls.

    Glenorchy (I presume, just because that's where played footy) v Mowbray. There's a match probably settled via knife fight.

    That was the "half chance" that came to mind that might make the maths work. 24 of 24.5 rounds to 98%

    24 catches, catching percentage of 98% (7 stat on Carey) Can someone explain that to me? Taking 24 and dropping 1 would be 96%. So how is it calculated? Is there one missed chance that was only deemed a half-chance?
