England about to lose the Ashes because of the rain 😆, cue inquest about changing the rules and questioning the set up of the tournament. Obviously if the weather was in their favour it would have all been dandy and Aussie’s just sore losers

To be fair, many people who are followers of test cricket have ben asking some of the questions for years, this has just brought it to a head. Personally I'm not in favour of a reserve day, but more flexibility about extending hours of play, and doing something different about over rates are both needed. Players get through 90-100 overs a day easily in county cricket, and tests used to be 100+ a day. Only managing 75 overs in  day is bloody ridiculous, and often deliberate. Hours of play are set for India, which makes no sense for long summer evenings in England - could easily be playing at 7.30 or 8 on some days.
