Clarke was rightly disappointed..

 

[Wattoo]

Australia lead by 331 runs with 3 wickets remaining
Match delayed by bad light - Day 4

 

[Nuekboi]

Bad light? Looks good enough to me

 

[Justcrazy]

Dark and Umpires decide not to continue

 

[Wattoo]

consider it declaration now

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor decision

 

[MarkCooper]

Bad decision to go off.

All of a sudden Ian Botham looks rejuvenated

 

[MarkCooper]

#ReturnTheUrn. I don't think so.

 

[Ims1]

331 ahead . Should declare on resumption .

Cricket's the only sport that would stop play on this circumstance lol.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bad for Aussies here

 

[Nuekboi]

By the way. How come the owner of the urn is decided by this series, what about the one Down Under?

Both series decide the owner. If England win this series they own the urn, if Australia win down under later this year they own the urn.

^ if England draw this game they have the urn you mean

 

[IndianWillow]

Aussie waited a bit too long - 300-310 was enough since there was the rain threat. Now draw looks a possibility. Well, all three results are possible at this point, cracker of a fifth day on cards - but rain may have the final laugh.

 

[MarkCooper]

Now its raining and is going to rain all night

 

[Nuekboi]

Both series decide the owner. If England win this series they own the urn, if Australia win down under later this year they own the urn.

So if this series is tied and Australia win Down Under then Australia will take the urn?

 

[Ims1]

D r a w .

Rain has got to come along and spoil a very good test match. Feel a bit for the Aussies.
