I was surprised Symmonds survived the hattrick ball ... despite hawkeye, I
would have given him; bats are for a reason. And Hussey was as plumb as
early on. Even my usually stout, 'the umpire is always right', is starting
to waver.

But I suspect a draw. Ponting won't be game enough to give them a sniff, but
they will need 80 overs you'd think at least to bowl them out. Could be fun
and games if all goes well come mid afternoon.

And then there is the rain!
