What's the point of the rule then? Its crazy that umpires can be so anal about a rule but when the home team is close to winning, they don't enforce it. I'm not actually 100% certain that is what is happening though, I have no idea if we are past the level on the previous days.

haha Blofeld on the radio. I think they have to take the players off. Funny to see the aussies complaining though.

If they go off it just shows the folly of the rule in general. Why does a team get the benefit of leniency over light in this situation, but neither team gets that leniency two days earlier when they're chasing the game?

Any moral high ground Australia had has now vanished.

That's because the chance of a win dropped dramatically when Eng got off to a good start. They could have easily lost a few early wickets, and it would have been a different story.

Well they are wasting time, if they had any class then they would do what they say they should happen by England.

It would be fun if the Umpire now awarded 5 penalty runs to the batting side.
