To be accurate, Coke increases the size of all body parts and the testes are just along for the ride.

Should be interesting as finales go... but England should get to 258.

Not exactly many demons in the pitch even now. The overheads and new balls were only things that really got wickets so far bar some bits of spin...

Bracewell will go at 5 an over even if the pitch gives him something anyway. Crazy that he is the #1 spinner in a test side as good as NZ.

I had just messaged my Mancunian friend to tell him I was worried for our bets because Wagner was back to being Wagner and could easily cause two wickets before they could get the runs and sure enough, he did. Five days and it comes down to the wire.

It's been something like a century or century and a half since the last test tie. Who knows when we will come that close to seeing it come that close again. Top notch sports. Not even remotely mad to lose my money. I had fun.

Matches like this are why Test cricket, at its best, is the best sport on earth.

Now, yeh, the average NHL or Premier League game is better than the average Test.

But the top ~10% of Test matches? Just have everything. A soap opera over 5 days with internal battles, changes of fortune, heroes, villains. Just incredible. Even if we lost aha.

The Wagner arc alone was incredible. Two matches of being lit up and seemingly costing them the match and then he shells some batters for the win.

Cheating in college say it isn't so but it does sound more rampant with all this new tech

What time is it on moon? Europe pushing for lunar time zone

With more lunar missions than ever on the horizon, the European Space Agency wants to give the moon its own time zone.

apnews.com

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — With more lunar missions than ever on the horizon, the European Space Agency wants to give the moon its own time zone.

This week, the agency said space organizations around the world are considering how best to keep time on the moon. The idea came up during a meeting in the Netherlands late last year, with participants agreeing on the urgent need to establish “a common lunar reference time,” said the space agency’s Pietro Giordano, a navigation system engineer.

“A joint international effort is now being launched towards achieving this,” Giordano said in a statement.

For now, a moon mission runs on the time of the country that is operating the spacecraft. European space officials said an internationally accepted lunar time zone would make it easier for everyone, especially as more countries and even private companies aim for the moon and NASA gets set to send astronauts there.
