Stunning innings by India, all out for 36, wow, just wow.

Been out shopping so only found out when I looked at my phone, makes me wonder about the pitch and the pink ball. But by all reports the bowling was superb.

Test cricket is still the best cricket. Hit and giggle has its place but tests have that ability to surprise in a way that the short forms can't.

how much does Damien Fleming sound like Richo?

 

[mexican_radio]

it's my opinion that the skill of test cricket batting has been eroded by short form games like 20-20 . just my opinion

How about the Crows?

Looks like no cricket on TV tomorrow night then

Living in Denmark, I get very few opportunities to watch live Test cricket from Australia. The time difference means that only the Perth Test and any day nighters give me any real chance. A day's play in this match was running from 5.00 am to midday my time. I was so looking forward to spending this weekend binge watching the two days, particularly as it was so well poised Friday night.
9.00 am Saturday and it's all over !!!
Ah well, I've got three Grand Finals I can re-watch.

That is an average of 8.5 points per quarter.

We broke them, of that there's no doubt.

Not at its best for me. At its best is a team scrathing & fighting to preserve their wicket in the face of fast and hostile bowling. Not a meek surrender.

Was a good half a Test before the Adelaide 36ers showed up.

Anyone see that interview Burns gave during the week in the lead up to today, where he said....... "we're the best team in the world"..?
The moment he said it I thought. .... *smile*, if I was him I'd concentrate on making some fair dinkum runs, not some meaningless 50 odd chasing 90..!
Needs a spell

The way we're going right now. .... they can move the Sydney test to the G and kick off on say.... day 4 of this one....!

How's this for punter's curse: I live bet in play Smith to top score literally a second before he got out.

I did get India at $7.80 pre match as well as little bets on Head ($9.40), Green (13.50), Paine ($19.5) to top score.

I like the side India has picked. Jadeja is a senior man and a contibutor in all three disciplines.
