England making playing in India look easy (as long as you win the toss) 311/4 after day 1. Of course a hundred to Root, while Moen Ali will come back today on 99*
Good, I hope they smash 7 shades of shit out of them. Fuck I wish we'd at least one won toss over there...

@ACT-Crusader nah just the highlights, and like you, i had to check the location! Certainly not the deck i was expecting.

Fantastic news for cricket in Australia. Skull is back
Kerry O'Keeffe set to return to Test cricket airwaves with Triple M
O'Keeffe is likely to headline the FM station's broadcast of Australia's Test series against Pakistan and then the next instalment of the Ashes here next summer.

England made a shit load on the back of a Stokes hundred. India 63/0 in reply, but obviously focused on making stumps without losing a wicket, as scoring rate slow for them.
As i mentioned below, there is a rift developing between the sports scientist guys, and the Aussie players/coaches. Apparently the medical staff are advising Aus to rest Starc from the test starting tomorrow, as he bowled too many overs in Perth, and thus has a heightened chance of injury. Boof and Smith have pretty much ignored this advice, publicly. I find it interesting that this is now a public discussion, that says to me there is a lot of frustration behind the scenes.
Oh, and another week, another book whinging about how hard it was to be part of the Aus cricket team. Brad Hogg apparently talks too much, and people kept telling him to shut up. Cricket tragics will be needing to take out loans to buy all the books this christmas.

Stupid shot by Warner
Burns bat-pad flaws haven't been corrected
Khawaja probably shouldn't have played at that length but I've only seen one replay
Ferguson runs himself out tho it was a good throw
Voges got a fairly good one
Nevil gets chopped off by a millimetre of leather on reviewMostly it's fucking poor technique, a shit toss to lose, and discipline by South Africa

Fuck 43/6 at lunch. Either Smith gets a big 100 or it's 2-0. Disastrous start to the summer of cricket for our friends across the ditch.

In terms of cricket, I find it hard to pick between Starc and his elegant swing attack making people look stupid, and Jonson's sheer fucking brutality making blokes shit themselves.
Hazlewood now getting movement
