Yes, they will get a refund if it finishes v early. The problem is that many folk will have trains and hotels booked.

Anderson takes the first wicket of the day.
He will be agonisingly short of Warne.
whilst my heart would loved to have seen him beat Warne. In my head I believe Warne was a better bowler, with more of a global impact on cricket.

Very different bowlers and characters. But I think you are right. Jimmy is incredibly skilled and exceptionally accurate. On their day,other bowlers can do similar, but no others have sustained the level for so long. Warne, could do things other bowlers cannot, so I think I agree with you.

A well deserved guard of honour for Anderson.

0-15 overs play in a day = 100% refund
15-30 overs play = 50% refund
heading for a full refund I think, 9 wickets down now and 8 overs into the day...
Atkinson has 11 wickets in the match

meh. Given the Sri Lankan fella got nearly 100 more wickets, I'm not too bothered about Warne's figure.

Murali was a chucker!
I am still convinced that he was.
His action was all over the place.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Murali's action was checked more than once, and more than any other player, and it was always found to be legal? Same with Malinga and he was scrutinised a lot too.

Murali had a dodgy elbow that allegedly wouldn't straighten fully which is how he got his action cleared.
I could be wrong but whilst Malinga had an unusual roundarm action, there was never any suggestion that he threw it i.e straighten his arm during his action, it came in and out straight, just not straight over the top.

I was having a post work stroll last night and happened upon a game at the cricket ground over the road, where all the layers seemed to be of an certain age. A few enquiries elicited it was Herts vs Suffolk & Norfolk over 70's county match.
@Salty seadog Your father was playing for England in this category wasn't he I seem to recall?
I watched the last 20 overs with S&N chasing down a modest target of 147 in 40 overs with a couple of overs to spare, but only 2 wickets in hand, indebted to an unbeaten 50 from their No 6 and too many double bounce no-balls from the Herts attack. They closed out with a 3. Both batsmen and fielders were hoping it went for 4, it didn't, it stopped short in front of the pavilion and took the poor chap fielding at mid on quite a while to retreat back to retrieve it, and bayed on by teammates the batsmen had to run / walk 3, before starting the long trudge off.

test match chatter..
England did their usual brisk scoring yesterday for 416, but gave up some cheap wickets. from 200-3, 280-4, 340-5 they should really have been battling on this morning.
still Windies now 1 down, Bashir has made the break thru after not bowling a single ball last week, and Wood has bowled a 97mph bouncer and is regularly up around the 95mph mark!
