    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

      I actually ended up going out with the kids instead of watching today after the first hour. I dunno how the Aussies coped when they were dominating everyone, it gets boring very quickly watching your side bat for 2 days.

      From the lack of posts on here guessing I'm not the only one who feels that way.

      Hopefully we'll have a nice early declaration when we get to a 400 run lead (lol, 346 run lead after day 2. Nuts!) and we can watch our bowlers have at 'em again.

        I think they'll want a lead of over 500 and around 2½ days to bowl them out.

        Weather conditions might affect the calculation though. If there is due to be any cloud cover tomorrow afternoon they might be well advised to take advantage of it to try to make inroads into the top order.

          A Cyclone is due for QLD in the next few days which will affect the weather all the way down the east coast which could create rain and high winds in melbourne.

            Thanks. Last I heard was it was going to start warming up but that was prediction was from a day more ago.

            Any idea on when this bad weather is due to reach Melbourne?

              Poor old Ricky, what a day he's had, arguing with the umpires over an edge he says he saw then gets mouthy with our Kevin too, then he has to watch an umpire call for a review of a ball which apparently had Prior out, turned out it was a no ball.

              Much frothing of the mouth from Ricky.

                Think he's clutching at straws. Beeb weather is showing 4 nice sunny days coming up

                  The Aussies need the weather to save them in this test.

                    Mind you, BBC weather isn't that accurate.

                      How about the Australian Bureau of Meteorology?


                      Morning cloud tomorrow, sunny Wednesday and partly cloudy Thursday.

                      Definitely grasping

                      Morning cloud tomorrow sounds like an early declaration is warranted but.

                        Thanks. Looks like you're right about young Fernandinho.

                        Or Edward Heath's yacht has returned.

                        They haven't batted Australia out of the game yet so they're not going to declare first thing. If they did, and didn't break through then they'd be in a position where they'd have to worry about Australian run scoring and they might even have to bat again on the fifth day. If weather conditions change unexpectedly then they could ludicrously find themselves in trouble.

                        Safety first - get a lead of five or six hundred and give themselves six and a half or seven sessions to bowl out Australia with men all round the bat.

                          Indeed, it's pretty much completely wrong where I live.

                          Just enjoying the discomfort of our resident Aussies, and don't want to give them any straws to cling on to

                            Funniest thing for me was on day 1 when the place was packed and there wasn't a spare seat in the house. Day 2 and the place is almost empty.

                            Part time fans or what?

                              So this "drop in pitch" they're using at the MCG. I thought I understood the whole concept of a drop in pitch in test match cricket, but apparently down under it means something entirerly different ....

                              ......a pitch where the Aussie batsmen drop in, say hello, then promptly depart again...!!!
