There's still enough time katie.

Brighton is about 250 miles too far for me I'm afraid fetch.

McGoohan · September 2005

I believe the Aussies can play as long as they like today, but that when the light level becomes REALLY low the umpires can offer "bad light" to the fielding side not just the batting side.

fetcheveryone · September 2005

They are almost at the point where they won't have time to get the runs, but bear in mind that they will be "throwing the bat", and will be risking everything to win this test, so we need to keep at it for a bit longer. And yes, it ends today whatever.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

'bout another 50 overs available. So England and Wales need at least another 40/50 runs to be safe. Ish.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

I guess with a bright clear day like today, it could be 7 or later before they finish then?

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Sorry, quite right, "England and Wales".

Oh crumbs...it's sooo close.

Don't bite your nails Fetch.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Fetch, would you be thinking of maybe having a get together after the race for all Fetchers ?

McGoohan · September 2005

Wasn't there a one-day game (involving Pakistan I think?) where they needed a ridiculous run rate and they guy got six sixes in the last over?

Or did I dream that?

[Deleted User] · September 2005

I think you've been up in the ceiling too long McG.

McGoohan · September 2005

No, it was the match where the aliens landed and kidnapped Shergar

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Nope, definitely too much polystyrene for you today.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Isn't there a cut off time or do the have to complete all the overs.
Radio 4 yesterday were suggesting we slow the over rate right down and accept the resulting fine. Worth it for the Ashes, but possibly not in the spirit. Would rather win fair and square I reckon.

fetcheveryone · September 2005

They used to say 5.30 if both captains agree there won't be a result. But I reckon the Aussies won't give up until they have to score at more than 6 a ball. And even then, they'll be aiming at the helmet behind the keeper.

fetcheveryone · September 2005

Vom - sounds like a plan.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Make sure you come off the polystyrene slowly McG.

<hands McG a polystyrene patch>

From the BBC:

1606: Pietersen launches Warne for a straight six and the great Australia spinner looks disconsolate. He looks even less happy when he is drilled for a straight four two balls later. A possible 40 overs remain.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

From 360's office (where even less work than normal has been done today):

1625: the Aussie's have no chance now.

fetcheveryone · September 2005

From the retro department, at Fetch's Office:

1626: they don't like it up 'em.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

It's a phenomenal amount of effort and stress for the world's smallest trophy isn't it?

McGoohan · September 2005

[Overcome with excitement, McGoohan falls through Fetch's polystyrene ceiling]

[Deleted User] · September 2005

1628: There's some people on the pitch...

fetcheveryone · September 2005

I believe its top of the sweat per cubic metre of trophy table.

What the? Where'd all these polystyrene crumbs come from?

fetcheveryone · September 2005

1629: The fat lady is singing - oh hang on, it's Shane Warne

McGoohan · September 2005

[spits out polystyrene crumbs]

Sorry. Got a bit peckish up there...

McGoohan · September 2005

[Drumming 'mambo no 5' on desk]

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Tenuous (sp?) link from the cricket to the thread - they just showed Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham) at the Oval.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Really?

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Still think we should have gone with Thorpe.
:-)

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Nah, Richie Cunningham's a much better stroke player.

McGoohan · September 2005

Maybe he's gonna make a heartwarming film about cricket?

Howdy, Stranger!
