I guess we can't complain to much about the weather. I've been watching test matches for the last 30 years and I can't actually think of one game like this when we were pretty much hum and hose and the weather robbed us. Can think of many however when the weather saved us. The captain seems cursed however.




There was a test only 3 or 4 years ago at Napier against Pakistan. Very similar to this one as I seem to remember they made a huge 2nd innings score and we had great difficulty finishing them off. We ended up chasing about 200, got to 100 odd without loss but then the rain set in and robbed us of the win. Mind you, knowing us we could just as easily have found a way to lose it from there!
