The last thing we need is rain to save the Aussies and then they get off to a flyer in the 3rd test.<br /><br />As you know better than me, test cricket is a strange game. But it would take a remarkable turnaround on current form.Dean @ Cricket Betting Bloghttp://www.cricketbettingblog.com/noreply@blogger.com
