Read a fascinating rumour last night, about the real reason why the Melbourne Test ended when it did. Word is that channel 9 wanted an end by 6.30pm, to enable it to get the news in before the Big Bash game started. The message was allegedly relayed during the last drinks break.
If true, I find that somewhat bizarre!!! Mind you, it does give a plausible explanation as to why the last 4 overs weren't bowled.
