A new broom is good for three days

He is so wise, that he goes upon the ice three days before it freezes

An old broom knows the dirty corners best.

Three days off is a lot, it was enough.

It's a long haul, but it's a good batting wicket. There is three days to go. Our job is to resurrect the ship, and hopefully if we can get a lead, we can put them in a position where they have to make some running in the game.

Three strikes and you are out
