What do think about that ball Giles bowled Martyn with? - Shane would have been proud.

If they get the chance should England enforce the follow-on (assuming no significant rain delays)?

I'm thinking of laying Oz at 7.5 on betfair - really don't think they will win this test that often.

I don't get a chance to actually SEE the play until ICC Cricket World comes on at midnight Sunday. But I'll take your word for it - a huge spinner caught the off stump, I suppose? How does the betting work, if the match is drawn is it a push or a loss? Draw is looking a little more likely after very little play today and still only 7 wickets...

Day four. All to play for.

Yes it was a Shane special. Don't know how that betting works, I assume a draw voids the bet.

Dreadful decision by Bucknor

Ponting and Clarke are being stubborn boys. It's like they don't want to lose or something. Maybe Jones can get something done soon......

EDIT: Jones bowls Clarke!!! Who called it? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I have an ignorant question... I know the basics of cricket, but I was reading BBC's coverage this morning and they said that Australia needed to last 44 overs for a draw. How exactly is it determined when a draw occurs? Is it just running out of time on day 5 of the test or some number of overs?

Wilbix · #29 08-15-2005, 01:32 PM

1 wicket left with 4 overs to get it and Ponting is finally gone.

Australia's 10 and 11 batters have to last 24 balls to secure the draw.....

I WISH I COULD WATCH THIS!!!!
