I'm giddy with heatstroke and think we might scrape a couple of draws. 3-0 Oz.

Weather. This last week must have taken a big chunk out of our dry weather quota.

Let us all hope that the weather doesn't ruin the groundsman's hard work and leave a dust track with drought cracks throughout.

100% agree with this. We'll salvage a draw and the tabloids will suggest the whole squad should be knighted, then the next test they'll not be fit to burn :roll:
