I'd almost forgotten how tedious cricket can be when one side actually takes the decision not to compete...

As a game, it was pretty tedious if you did compete and spent alternate overs at mid-wicket and extra cover for most of an afternoon....
I take it that we were no Garfield Sobers then, Monty?! :D
Couldn't bowl to save my life, though I wasn't a bad bat. Cricket was really only interesting when I was actually batting, which was probably never more than 5% of the time spent 'playing' the game. It may seem heresy but I much preferred playing baseball and softball when I got over here - a couple of hours exercise and then off to the bar.

because it's the last day and each day has a pre-set number of overs (usually about 90).

That's not quite right. There are a minimum of 90 overs in a day, until the last day. In the last hour of the last day, there's a minimum of 20 overs to bowl, subject to an overall minimum of 90.

yeah - i know - that's why i said "about" 90 - there are so many variations and permutations for rain, catching up with previous delays - lopping some off for changes of innings that I couldn't be arsed!!

nahhh - if it goes down to the level they went off for earlier in the test - then they will have to go off... Oz dragging their feet to play for light (not very positive!) - there'd be a riot if they went off for light, surely!
