The Ashes 2009

So, we lose two overs for change, can they still take the extra half-hour if there's the chance of a result? IS cricinfo's 16ish overs taking any of this into account?

No. The 16 overs left in final, no more, no less!

i thought they lost 2 overs if there is a change over, i.e Australia have to bat

[Azertyioup]

I bet Monty is shatting himself all padded up waiting.

 

[marty21]

7 runs to make them bat again

 

[badlands]

This is brilliant.

Australia might have to score 15-25 off two or three overs.

Test cricket reduced to 20-20.

 

[1927]

Whatever happens, what a bargain of a day for £25.

What's that quote about test cricket "An hours entertainment carmmed into 5 days"

Test cricket at its best, superb.

Unless we lose, then it's a bag of shite. Hey, I don't make the rules.

 

[marty21]

Sorry, 16 max is what i meant, no more.

I'm frantically F5ing on cricinfo.

When there's a big delay in refresh it tends to be because a wicket has fallen. Adds a whole new dimension to nerve-jangling.
