Does this Test have to finish tonight regardless of what happens? I know it's in its fifth day but they lost virtually a whole day yesterday to the weather plus a good deal of Thursday as well.

Pietersen OUT! It's not over yet.

Think this will fizzle to a draw now. Great fun while it lasted.

Bad light


Poor show from the umpires especially with just 4 overs left , there must be some common sense shown, could understand if there were 20 overs left , but 4 overs


 


come on

The batting side have to be given the deciding vote on light.
Absolutely bloody ridiculous rule and what a shame for the game.
1 - 0 to to the stuffed shirts and old school ties of the ICC. Twats.

It has to be reasonable for fielders and batsmen. In fading light the fielders are at a disadvantage.

Maybe the ICC should vary the rule when you've got floodlights available. But you've been to floodlit football and will know that floodlights don't make it perfect - and a cricket field is much larger and the ball is much smaller.
