The ideal Test
England win the toss and bat.
Oz play McGrath. He has an opening spell during which he bowls Vaughan with a noball which goes for four after hitting the stumps. He then pulls a muscle and can take no further part in the match. England make 300. Oz bat and make 400. England bat again and make 99/9. The rain sets in and the match is drawn.

But we would go through the agonies of the damned before the rain arrived. Also Australia would claim that they had been robbed by the weather. I'd far sooner thump them by an innings and plenty.

The alternative is for it to rain steadily for five days and the entertainment would come from watching Oz faces and listening to their ever rising whining voices saying Jeez...look... .
