This new three match series has worked better for the Ashes than I expected.

Can we still win the mixed format points thing? That’s what we’re all interested in, isn’t it. I’m get bored of these warm-up matches, bring on the ODIs.

Sadly, not even the English-style weather has been adequate on this tour.

Too little, too late.

Flashes of hope – the “water under the covers” story seemed especially promising – the odd sustained period – by gosh the morning session went well – followed by petering out limply and succumbing to the inevitable.

In reply to Bail-out. Hours later, no balls of play, and I am still gripped!

I’m finding this weather surprisingly exciting!

Of all the places to be bailed out by rain…

If the weather forecast is to be believed, the “plunge” in question might be the rain puddle variety:

Not really a satisfactory outcome, but sweet irony if it really does rain all day.

Hope isn’t yet extinguished but it’s hard to escape the thought that the BBC Sport headline at 6am will feature the words ‘plunge’ or ‘slump’.
