Yes, it would be an unsatisfactory ending

And worse, given the ambiguities in the technology/process, it could become a controversial ending too

Maybe it is one for the shorter formats. All this artificially induced drama goes well with shorter formats

Even the argument in Test cricket’s favour takes a long time. It is not for the impatient.

What?

Philistines. (Which would actually be a very short word beginning with c if this wasn’t a public forum)

In conversation with Jonathan Agnew on View from the Boundary, Miles Jupp exclaimed, “Where’s Ian Austin?” In a disparaging tone, Aggers retorted, “Ian Austin.” I guess, after Bert’s remarkable disclosure, we need look no further.
