A sad way to finish such an exciting test match.

Day 1 RSA on top after dismissing England for 139
Day 2 RSA on top, after gaining a good lead over England
Day 3 England gaining ascendency with a brilliant 2nd innings being built
Day 4 England on top leading by 378.
Day 5 RSA commence fight back. England on top needing only 2 wickets to wrap up the match, then bad light stops play with 15 overs to be bowled.

Here is how the price for a Draw fluctuated throughout the game.

Dec 22 $2.40 Pre game.
Dec 27 $7.50 After England dismissed for 139.
Dec 29 $1.60 After England fight back with a big 2nd innings score.
Dec 30 $2.00 At the start of day 5.

Geez....We should have got on the draw after day 1 at $7.50.
