I suppose it's fair to say that this is just about as exciting at Droitwich gets in the brief moments when it isn't raining

I hope its not washout like the test match
Bill Phillips
: Much as I wanted us to get the draw and retain the ashes, not like that. You deserved to at least have the chance to win the match. The umpiring in this series has been dire
