16 runs in last 3 overs needed to record a historical feat, and they instead opt for playing out for a draw?
Jonny Lidon, care to comment?
Gutless!

Maybe being 7 down had something to do with that, probably didn't want to lose

Wait until you're nine down, then take the light option.

Now too scared to face a pink ball. Shameful.

I knew a comment on this would pop up when I heard in on the news.

I don't blame them at all, the pink ball was rushed in and wasn't ready. Pitches have to be doctored to accommodate it and even then it doesn't last properly. Making a mockery of test match cricket.

By the sounds of that, the next ashes series there will be howls of protests if similar is scheduled. Oh dear, that will be fun.

Hopefully they'll get the ball right by then. Then again, they don't need gimmicks to fill a crowd for an ashes test match.
