Dead rubber though

True, but the Aussies (in those days) were not ones to roll over and die.

The Aussies have already got a tenth of their first innings!

Rotterdam is pretty naff in comparison to Amsterdam, unless you're really into ships, and dull town centres. Or if you're bored to tears from having been to Amsterdam so many times.

Completely agree. It's a shithole.

Merchant shipping?
Brasses?
Ganja?

9 an over at the moment. We could lose this one.

And not a very nice place either. I've always felt safer in Amsterdam than I have Rotterdam.

They have got to because they are not going to block their way through 2 1/2 days to get a draw.
