Looks like this is the late start game. Fingers crossed for a favourable result.

 

[Cevno]

Big Delay due to rain it seems.

                              Test Match Drawn.

Too bad there's no "offer draw at start of last hour" option afaik.

 

[GotSpin]

I want Dougy back

Copeland hasn't performed in a while either. Averaged has ballooned to 36ish

Draw isn't a bad result though

Amla has been such a weapon too

 

[Himannv]

Draw a reasonable result considering the rain. Very happy with the batting on the whole and great first innings knock from Matty Hayden there. Tiwary still not getting anywhere. AB de Villiers still not setting the world alight either although he scored a decent 40 in the first innings. I reckon I'm not using him right or something.
