No coincidence it's as soon as you arrive, you big Woofy Walla.

I was also thinking that Trott appears to be doing the business.... 

Gone

Woakes! Now there's a surprise

Bugger! I am blaming Furri for Trott going too.

Warney's adulation of St Michael never ends.

Clarkey will be lucky to come out of this unejaculated-on.

Surely England should get this. 50 off 44 balls.

Kevin Pollard would have caught that.

Dear gawd, will this be a Test that's coming down to the last over?

36 off 6 with 6 left.

Any relation to Kieron? (or Paul for that matter...)

Someone hacked into my account just for that post.

But you may be relieved to know that I'm fine and in control now.

Didn't realise there was an official rule on "Gashleyline" bowling...

Damn, game done.

Moral victory to England?

Whose idea was it to take the decision out of the hands of the batsmen?

Less than half an hour from sunset, that's surely it anyway. Suppose we can't complain about them wasting a bit of time at the end.

Absolute bullshit.

Cricket is its own worst enemy at times. I hate the ICC with an absolute passion.

FFS!

At least we know there was nothing dubious about Clarke's declaration with his actions near the end... sadly we all have to question "sporting" declarations a bit these days!

Clarke = Pussy.

Whingeing piece of sh*t.

Where the f**k is Warne now . . . . "Would Aus gamble on losing tin order o win the match"

Answer - NO.

It was he who originally set the target, and okay I know it's upto the Umps regarding the light, but Clarke's peering over their shoulders and nibbling in their ears about it being too dark was the absolute pits - poor poor show from Warney's mate - whingeing twat!

Still England win 3 - Nil ... with a moral victory at the Oval.

Has to be back to batsmen's call now... or just scrap bad light completely given modern protective equipment, if it's not raining you play.

Puts some of the Aussie sooking about the light earlier in the series into perspective.

Couldn't agree more.

Jim Maxwell advocating 10.30am starts... would the dew make that a lottery in England? There is an issue with length of day in late August and September Tests here.
