Can he what!!! Desperately needed wicket for Fulminia with the dangerous Steve Waugh out for 84 (souvlaki with the lot). Doesn't get much easier though, as Ricky Ponting replaces Tugga.

46.4 Hinkl'roes to MWaugh, no run, Left alone by MWaugh
46.5 Hinkl'roes to MWaugh, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket. GONE! YES! This is the best thing that a Hinkley has done since Ken punched Jack Ginnivan in the throat! One wicket gets two and Waugh the Younger has to depart, replaced by Ian Healy.

Tonga Bob · Monday at 3:17 PM

So looks like we've extended day 4 because:

a) Making up for time lost in day 3 due to bad light, and
b) Somebody can't read match commentary properly.

Umpire Hugh Jarse has given me the spray of all sprays, as he's missing happy hour at the Fulminia Arms, so that's stumps on day 4.

END OF DAY 4
Time: Some time past 5:00 PM, but again time is an abstract concept.

It all comes down to the last day. Two new batsmen, five wickets left, 212 runs remaining. Until then.

Roonescape · Monday at 3:23 PM

Man, bowled a beauty of a first over, now I'm getting hit all ends of the ground.

Who turned on the Waugh brothers?

Curtly Ambrose did his best.

Thankfully not, as evidenced by the final wicket being given out on field.
