We are 36 hours into the race, meaning the three runners still on Loop 3 cannot continue to Loop 4. However, if they complete Loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. Thatās where the real race is now.

Four drops so far and we know more are coming. The thing is, they are coming back to camp from all directions and in some cases cannot describe where they were. This is old school Barkley.

Since Twitter is possibly dying, I'm going to repost my favourite tweet, which was when I bowled my 13 year old with one of the greatest offspins my garden has ever seen. Mike Atherton somehow picked it up, I'm not kidding, it turned up on Sky under "kids having cricket tantrum". V unfair.
