Thank goodness Anderson comes back next match. Or soonish, anyway.

Quite a big score.

Yeah OK I really need Anderson back.

Quite a bold declaration if full overs are left..

                              Test Match Drawn.

Rain. Good effort nonetheless, good knocks from the big two.

 

[Cevno]

That came close..

How many overs were left before the innings?

 

[Spark]

Oh, the rain came before the declaration. I should have noted that.

Vimes did tell me to declare about 5rpo though. Ended up declaring at 6.

 

[Cevno]

Yeah,that's quite a bold instruction from Vimes.

Was just wondering whether the rain in the end interrupted the result.

The declaration with 58 overs left is quite fair.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Grr. Had most doubts about Broad in this bowling attack and yet he's the only one to take wickets.

 

[Spark]

He's actually #2 on the wicket takers list now I think.

 

[Cevno]

Next Match?
