    Harris seems to have no composure. Last night he was swinging like a bastard, now he's out playing a soft cut shot

    Labushagne and Head have steadied the ship, and we're 4/159 at the first break. Impressed with the composure and patience of both, as it doesn't seem like conditions are that easy to bat in. A century = a ticket to England, so there's a bit riding on it.

    Labuschagne gets a bit too cute trying to work a leg side single and fucks it.

    New bloke comes in and has to face the new ball soon, in the evening, against what was some handy seeing bowling

    Small thing, but why the fuck would Kawhaja wear a dress watch on a cricket field?

    Edit: yeah this drunken conundrum really needs a photo....

    Cummins' figures are ok.

    3 wickets
    2.1 overs
    0 runs

    This will be over by tea if the Lanks don't harden up

    I'll add it was a beautiful setup as well - hung them outside off for a few balls then changed the length. All at sea

    You can't get through a World Cup and Ashes with the same three quicks. You need Richardson to fire.

    @NTA How crazy would a 4 pronged fast bowling line up be at the World Cup, presuming you had Head and Maxwell to roll their arms over?

    Groundsman at Manuka Oval saying the pitch will provide a 5-day game.

    Clearly has seen neither side bat.

    An Australian opener out early playing an expansive shot. Who would have thought?

    @mariner4life Worst shot of the summer, that. Disgusting. It's the first morning of the test, you leave that ball 11 times out of 10.

    Oh, and if you want a laugh, see if you can find a video of the wide that wasn't called in Adelaide's innings last night, it's hilariously bad.

    @mariner4life Just watched it now. Was it just me, or did it look like he might have gloved it, and that's why it wasn't called?

    Khawaja gone. Seems he can just never kick on with his career.

    still, he's averaging 42, which is decent at the moment, especially in Australia's top order.

    my only mitigation i could come up with was the umpire thought that, and as we don't get to see it from his angle, I'm not willing to flay him too much. But at no point from the TV angle did i think the batsman got anywhere near it.

    Perhaps it was a case of the umpire thinking no top level bowler would bowl something that fucking wide, so it must have hit something?

    If i was the bowler i would be laughing my tits off.
