It was truly comical, but worse, the bloke with the curator arm band on, laughed when they dropped it yet again and because they all let go it blew off the wicket.

That ball was imo even MORE unplayable than Warnes "Ball of the Century".
Only a real HACK had any chance of hitting it by playing about 6 inches down the wrong line.
As an IMPOSSIBLE ball to play as i've ever seen.

Any weather reports from Perth yet?

I notice on Betfair Aussies were $1.48 late last night but are into $1.34 this morning, suggesting it might be OK.

Radar has broken patches of cloud about at the moment. No "red" on the radar though. ( Indicating heavy rain fall ).

Wind will help a lot and should move on any rain, plus dry out the field.

If he swung it that far then yes, ball of the 21st century, but if it didn't hit the crack Vince would have worked it to mid on.
