Opposite for me: woke up too early though and ended up taking on a lot of draw at 4s to go near green just after third wicket then some more at 4.8. Also gallingly, I just failed to go even green England and NZ with a NZ back at 4.2 just before they came well in alongside the draw spike so I’m not taking not full advantage here. Still, it’s a lot better than waking up to draw at 1.8 after a no wicket start would have been.

This reminds me of a game in Hobart where the forecast was terrible and Aus were 70 all out on day 1.

Is that the one where the draw price didn’t know what to do, because it kept threatening to rain or actually raining too but every time Aus got out there a couple of wickets would fall to big Vern?
