off for the day so I threw on the India-Sri Lanka T20 and watching Umran Malik is wild. Throws 150+ and every ball is either a boundary, no ball or wicket. Went 3-45 or something , which I guess isn't to crazy, but on every delivery you feel like something chaotic will happen.

Don’t think Aus v SA is going to get much play today. I’m a few kilometres from the SCG and it’s been raining steadily all morning with no sign that it’ll break up at all.

I feel like it's specifically day 3 that always gets the worst of the rain too. McGrath should move the charity day to any other day

It's alright mate they only really need 20 minutes so ussie can come out and get his double. I'm sure that will happen some time in the next 3 days.

Need to take test matches away from cities like Sydney with their terrible record for rain disruptions and give them to more reliable places like Manchester or Leeds.

Give it to Hobart. It's the second driest capital city in the country so it's the natural place to host important cricket games. Sydney can have useless poo poo like the BBL.

Amazing, with 5 mins of calling off the day there’s patches of blue sky above me and it’s looking better than at any point today. I’m only a few km from the SCG so I doubt it’s much different there

Imagine that after nine months of pregnancy, 24+ hours of labour and intense pain, you look at your precious newborn and your first thought is: "lets call him Doug"

Oh yeah absolutely, I think if they started on time this morning Aus would’ve batted another 20-30 mins, but losing the whole session makes that completely untenable. As bad as SA have batted, I still don’t think there’s enough time to bowl them out twice

I think it'll depend on what the spinners can get out of the pitch. South Africa's spinners were dogshit and they managed a little bit of grip and drift. Three overs in and not a wicket gives me pause though.

iooo gently caress if Smith took that, that's an early contender for catch of the year.
