    I did too, on another forum years ago when it first came in, and I often wonder how many people who gave me short shrift at the time, have since "reviewed" their thoughts on the matter.

    One wonders how anyone managed to make a decision in the days before 1000 slow mo replays and everything else. I suppose if no one knew, you couldn't really complain!

    That's why I love CC, it's cricket as it should be. The umpire's finger is raised and that's it. On with the game.

    Chris Wood just starting to open his shoulders, will Hants try to set Glamorgan a target?

    Boycott on the radio: "Haha! Oh dear. How unlucky for Australia. That ball bounces over the slips and now it's raining. Haha!"

    Looks as if the rain could give us an undeserved draw

    You could say it gives the Aussies an undeserved draw too!

    Whisper it quietly, but I think the Aussies deserve to win this. They batted very well and have bowled superbly. Certainly a whole lot better than we've done either.....
