I hope none of them are neededCovered End said:I really hope Leach comes in before Archer & Broad.0 -
When trying to bat out 110 overs it doesn't help that 3 of the 5 wickets to fall have got just 1 run between them & only faced 21 balls.0

Time for some serious time wasting here. Pull out as the bowler is running in. Ask for the sight screen to be adjusted every ball. Shoe laces. Injuries. the lot.1

If it's getting close (it probably won't) we could do with a number of "idiots" wandering in and out behind the bowlers arm.killerandflash said:

The point is that we can't reduce the number of overs to be bowled in the day, as the final fifteen overs (ie the last hour) doesn't start at a set time (as it used to) it starts after a certain number of overs, and can be extended beyond an hour is needed.killerandflash said:

No Chizz the point is that bad light may well come into play so then the time of the last hour wouldn't matter.
Although the main point is we'll be long gone by then anyway.2 -

not that it’ll matter0 -
At some point before the end of the series, I am hoping that everyone on this thread will know when a team does and doesn't lose a review. For now, England have two reviews left this innings.blackpool72 said:Bairstow out.

There is no chance whatsoever that England would be able to waste enough time during the day for bad light to deprive the Australians of any overs. There are 48 overs left. That's about three hours' worth of play. Lose twenty minutes for Tea and the last over will have been bowled well before 7pm. And it's the sunniest, brightest day of the Test match.North Lower Neil said:No Chizz the point is that bad light may well come into play so then the time of the last hour wouldn't matter.

I know you don't really believe a lot of what you say, but we all know they won't be bowling 16 overs an hour.Chizz said:

How long before the remnants of that hurricane blow in from the US?
Any chance we could ask it to hurry up?1 -
I'll give England some credit here, they're battling hard. They'll ultimately fall short, but they haven't crumbled in the way I expected them to today0

52 overs bowled so far today in 230 mins = 4.423 mins per over.
46 overs left at 4.423 mins = 203 mins, add on 20 mins for tea = 223 mins.
So they would need to play until 7.13pm, if today's over rate continues.

Slightly different circumstances but dont forget Hussains win in Pakistan when the umpires made sure ALL the overs were bowled on the last day & we won in the dark.0 -
That's why I calculated it at less than 16 overs per hour. At 15 per hour from now, even with 20 minutes for Tea, they would still finish BEFORE 7pm. And at 7pm, if they're still playing, the light will still be good enough to play.Covered End said:

If you think that England wasting time will mean fewer overs will be bowled, can we agree to disagree? Because it won't.0 -

And for context today the last hour starts after the 90th over has been bowled in this innings. 83 today plus the 7 yesterday. We are in the 61st as I type. Loads left today.0

44 overs left today. If fewer overs are bowled it will be for one of three reasons. England have won, Australia have won, or both teams agree to call off the game as a draw, half-way through the last fifteen overs. It won't be because Craig Overton has to do up his shoelaces several times.golfaddick said:And for context today the last hour starts after the 90th over has been bowled in this innings. 83 today plus the 7 yesterday.

If Australia fail to win, it will be because they run out of overs, not light.0 -
Then why are the commentators (sky and bbc) and bbc live text all commenting on the light every 5 mins.Chizz said:

If you think that England wasting time will mean fewer overs will be bowled, can we agree to disagree? Because it won't.
Alternatively, are you saying that as the day progresses, the Aussies will start bowling more overs per hour than they have so far ?1 -

Also this is at least the 2nd time this series the Aussies have successfully got the ball changed when it has been doing nothing to one that has been visibly in much better condition and it has started swinging round corners.0

I haven't heard the commentators on Sky mention light once. Right now, I'm watching a replay of an lbw shout in bright sunshine, given by an umpire wearing sunglasses.cantersaddick said:
