It's The Ashes (again)

[Tom Joad]

Re- the slow over rate- and without wanting to print quote after quote. I agree it has been painfully slow although not helped by the absence of lengthy spells of spin bowling. What really puzzled me was why the teams went off at Headingley at regular close,  in brilliant sunshine on the Friday?  The weather forecasted for the rest of the game was dreadful and proved to be accurate. Why no urgency to play another half an hour when only 80 overs were bowled?
