Feel bad for Hobart.. get nothing, finally a chance to host a decent fixture and this.

If this test becomes a non-event, impacted heavily by rain or poorly attended the vultures like Warne wont hold back.

RAIN :roll:

In the BBL yesterday they closed the roof and played 2 games
Could we ever play tests under a roof in the future ?

Yes. Nothing is off limits these days.. except under a roof the pitch wouldn't break up would it?

I can think of many reasons why they should NOT play under a roof
Was just a thought
Watching a game under a roof NOW is better than waiting for the weather to clear

They aren't playing at Marvel over the MCG

Marvel is the only stadium with a roof I can think of, unless there is one in England that could host cricket

Very good decision by Joseph
Means this test will last longer !
Means Pat Cummins will have to declare with a lead of 416+
They might scrounge a draw again , if it rains again

It should deck around for the first hour or so then flatten right out I reckon.

Well, makes me look a bit stupider than I already do, Leach finally does something and gets dropped for it.

FWIW, I still think Root is a better spinner.
