Interesting that when the highest run chase was achieved both the Windies and the Aussies had the same score in the first innings. :shock:

Not now that's for sure, although Root seems to think they can get them.

Maybe Lyth will run out Cook and Ballance for blocking off the win?

Not sure of the forecast tomorrow but if it stays dry there could be a decent amount of cricket for that.

there were a lot of empty seats today....


Decent crowd for a 4th day game, especially in this vile weather.


I'm starting to wonder if we should continue playing tests in May.

I've been to a few May tests and I think I've always worn a winter coat. Not good when you're exposed for several hours in the day.

Day/Night ODIs in May are not much pleasant either.

The weather in June can be just as dicey as in May, only way of beating the weather is for test venues to install roofs.

Forecast looks pretty good. Even some sun. Unless it's a swinging day (very windy and cold, so maybe not, but you never can tell) it looks like a draw.

We batted 10 more overs than a full days worth in the first innings, and that was with some lusty swinging (insert your own innuendo here) when 8 wickets down.
Sports broadcasting media nut miscast as a hard-working family man. Or should that be the other way around?

England still confident of chasing this down.

We're 1 up though. First thought will be safety. If we're only two down by tea, then thoughts may change.

Seems so. Forecast is good for today apart from the odd short shower....

For the life of me I don't know why we aren't starting at 1000am
