Very well put. 8)

And FD88, well said. People can't understand the tensions of watching your favourites in the 90's, let alone 99, let alone to set a record.

Heart rate is getting back to normal levels.

That's pretty amazing -England 5/654 in their 2nd inns when the rain came (on the 10th day!)

He's reminding me more and more of Graeme Wood these days.
Personal preservation.
Disgraceful running and calling between the wickets.
Poor strike rate.

Hussey goes for 19, Duminy gets one to straighten and brings about the edge so that's 3/260

Hussey gone. Duminy gets a wicket.

Would be nice if we had a spinner but it's not going to matter. North and Clarke might get a few overs.

From the looks of things the message has gone out to get a wriggle on. 500 to be the target? Edit: Handful of overs left so who knows, perhaps we'll declare ovenight.
