Typical. Spend all winter praying for rain in Australia and we get it today. The good thing is that if we can get through to 20 overs, Duckworth-Lewis will come in. We need to take wickets and keep taking wickets. For those of you who wish to know how the incredibly complicated system works there is a site title "Duckworth Lewis made easy" (a contradiction in terms if you ask me):

Ok, a fair performance though. BTW the D/L asking rate right now is 5.37 runs per over, according to Gower - but what did he ever know about anything?
The key for us is to build Plunkett's and Mahmood's confidence so that they bowl to their full potential. Mahmood has got a really good mixed bag of slow balls and bouncers and Plunkett can swing the ball really well. Freddie must step up and bully Gilchrest into going over the top. Come on lads!
