Not a Cricket buff (no doubt you may have already guessed that) but if rains during Wimbledon, they extend the the tournament into the following Monday. Seems a daft ruling to me to just award the match to whoever is in front after the 5 days is up!!
In the first test Australia needed 70 to win with 8 wickets down and the new ball could be taken which put England on top so if it rained in your opinion we would have won? But they didn’t lose another wicket and went on to win; my point is anything can happen quickly in cricket which has been proved in this test series so it is difficult sometimes to decide who actually is on top.
