A lot will depend on the weather, but barring any serious rain delays we could be looking at a final day with all 3 results seriously in play.

The weather has improved (so far), and our lead of almost 250 is already looking daunting - the highest successful run chase at the Gabba was only...

I had never read those Praxis rules before. There are some amusing rules in there that have fallen by the wayside: If a player be guilty of a...
