TROSaracen Jan 2022 10:12pm, 1 Jan 2022 24,585 posts	0 TROSaracen Just checked Sydney weather and rain (potentially) across all 5 days, dull and heavy cloud. I would assume 11/10 means the bookies think 3 full days will be washouts. Also means the ball may hoop about when there is play. So also worth checking what our lowest ever 2 innings total for a test is…..
