Bit of a farce now.

Broad gets Warner again - for the 17th time in Tests. And in other news - water is wet.

Wood has a distinctly Pakistani action?

I'm by no means a Steve Smith fan, but my god, Bairstow is a complete tosser

One of the very few poms that I like, hopefully stays injury-free for long time now.

Unfortunately very few of these truly fast bowlers remain injury free for any length of time.

Seems like a nice guy in the interviews. They'd have to manage him really carefully to keep him injury free. Even so, the stress is immense.

Looking pretty grim. The forecast only gives a small window tomorrow, except if things change drastically. If this test rains out, it's tickets for England, right? Aus retain the Ashes based on best possible result being a series draw?

There should be a whole day tomorrow and a bit on day 5. So lets say 100 overs. I think we will get a result.

Really hope so. The report I saw gave about two hours tomorrow at start of play, and then rain till evening. Maybe they can start earlier?
