washout

Broad took his 600th Test wicket at Old Trafford but the washout, which ended the chance of winning the urn, was "the worst feeling in sport".

A lengthy downpour 12 overs into the match had looked set to result in a fourth washout at R Premadasa Stadium but the rain stopped just in time for a 20-over contest to take place.

There's going to be a washout somewhere, generally Sydney.

They now have three defeats from three at this World Cup while Australia go top of the standings with a second win to go with a washout.

"The quarter that we are talking about, we had a very early summer and often that period can be a complete washout," he said.
