SYDNEY: Australia coach Justin Langer found himself in the unusual position of hoping for rain ahead of the third test against New Zealand this week as the bushfires continued to rage around the country.
Langer, however, suggested a little perspective would be required when the final test in a series Australia already lead 2-0 got underway at the ground on Friday. "It's probably stupidly the first time I say this in my life I hope it rains a bit in the test match because Sydney needs it."I hope it rains at night so we can keep playing cricket but Sydney, like other parts of Australia, needs the rain doesn't it?"
A number of spectators at the ground required medical attention and Cricket Australia later said that players would be more at risk because they were exercising.
