5th Test: Australia v England at Sydney Jan 3-7, 2014

[Pete Cash]

That was a pretty average shot lmao

 

[undertaker]

The spinner's foot went awfully close to that side crease. Could've been a no-ball. Surprised the umpires didn't check that

 

[Twizzle]

this is his last test as an announcer

 

[Twizzle]

I reckon Smiffy could be worth a few overs on this pitch

 

[benched tiger]

Well batted Buck...not only holding up an end but scoring runs !

 

[undertaker]

Question: will this match finish before stumps today? Have tickets for day 4 tomorrow.

Same here. I have tickets for tomorrow.
Starting to not like the chances

 

[Wizardman]

I think it will get into day 4....just....lol.

So the question is: if this match does finish today, do we get a refund or not? I don't know how the ticketing policy works.

Guess I need this last wicket pair to try and bat for as long as possible:lol:

 

[Twizzle]

I dont see us bowling them out today

if there is only say about 2 wickets to get they generally just open up the gates for free

no idea if you'd get a refund though

Im pretty sure you would get a full refund....not 100% though.

 

[Wizardman]

The heartless merkins probably want to go home...may be done today.

 

[Dutchy]

Lyon holds form with the bat better than Wazn.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Still...I reckon we needed at least 850 on this pitch to be sure.

 

[Wizardman]

Pom ionnings tipsheet

*Wesley Snipes U10 runs....defensive, will not last many balls.
*Cook....attacking attitude...10-20 runs.
*Bell...0-20 runs.
*Pieterson 0-30 runs...attacking...throw his wicket away.
*Stokes...once again will show some heart (10-30 runs).
*Ballyance ... 10-30 runs.
*Bairstow... 0-10 will have nothing.
*Bosworth ...0-10 runs
The rest...U10 and hopeless.

I was actually given the tickets by a mate who can't get to the game.
So I don't mind about the refund, but it would be good to go for a couple hours and watch us lift the urn.

From my understanding, the only day that is free admission is day 5, which this test most likely won't get to.

Australia just bowled out. They'll have a maximum of 55-56 overs today to bowl them out, unless a result is likely in which case the umpires can extend play for another 8 overs/30 minutes beyond the aadditional 30Mims after stumps that teams are allowed to complete the daily number of overs (at 6pm)

From memory and I last looked at the Cricket Australia refund policy 18-24 months ago.

If there is no play you will get a refund.

To get a refund there must be less then 33 overs bowled EXCEPT when a there is a result.

So if England are 8/100 at stumps tonight and only last 2 balls tomorrow you won get a refund

Same. Would turn up tomorrow to see our guys hold the urn. Just hope the Poms dont throw in the towel here like they did in the 1st innings
