We know that too, and Sri plan to exit by 9 to keep an hour as a buffer till 10 AM for any extreme recoveries or problems. Depending on the situation and actual heat in sand we might play around till 10 AM. 5 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
