    I know. I was just using that situation as an example of what Chaos was saying in relation to 3 rounds of golf not being a tournament result affected by rain.

    Course I play on in Jakarta had a golfer killed by a lightening strike. I played the following week and landed my drive right in the spot he got hit. Gave myself a free drop as the grass had been burnt away and the sand underneath had been fused into glass.

    Golf at the hobby level is open to any rules you require to make your round more enjoyable.

    It’s like Dorty Dogsbreath claiming he has shot a 76 but actually using 3 balls for each shot and taking the best of them each time. Under the R&A rules, Local Plodders Clauses Sub-Section 2, Item 10,Part 3 this is perfectly acceptable.

    Persistent drizzle at the moment but not as bad as yesterday morning. Suspect they won’t be able to play long enough to get a result.

    Typical.

    Stokes is carrying an injury and isn’t bowling full steam

    Moen is carrying an injury restricting his bowling.

    Wood is carrying an injury restricting his bowling.

    Anyway time for another wicket.

    England will now hopefully stop crying about the rain in the 4th test given Australia were going to bat it out and win today.

    A good series even as a non cricket fan, but no doubting Australia deserved to win.
