Aussie Summer of Cricket

MN5

Boxing Day test starting soon and I’ve swept the yard already so I’m hoping the rain comes down so I have an excuse to watch.

Gilly, M Waugh and Akram are class.

Michael Vaughan has obviously taken over the token pommy twit mantle from Mark Nicholas. He played test cricket at least.

That Indian chick is hot and knows what she’s talking about. Nice combo.

Pakistan will get hammered again. Steve Smith averages 80 here

Smithy commentating ! I hope the lunchtime caterers are prepared.

Warner dropped. Regulation slip catch. Will get a hundred now.

Both bowlers and both batsmen left handed the commentators just told me.

Duluth

Pakistan sends them in and doesn't get a wicket in the first 90mins

MN5

I wake up from a kip on the couch and Warner gone for 38.

…..the fern rejoices

A few quick wickets today makes it interesting. Aussies 6 down for 267

NTA

52 extras in 301 runs.

Duluth

Much better session from Pakistan - 131/7 in that one

Aus all out for 318. Plenty of starts, no big scores

NTA

@Duluth pitch still has a bit in it. Interesting session coming up

NTA

I was just about to say Pakistan was doing well and then a caught & bowled from Captain Cummins

Duluth

Pakistan have played well today.

Cummins is just too good.

booboo

Cummins makes it 3 down, hitting top of Babar's off stick.

NTA

@booboo was a great delivery. Not often you see that happen to Azam

NTA

Hazlewood takes Shakeel with an absolute jaffa after Lyons plucked another one

KiwiMurph

It's very lightly drizzled in Melb over night/this morning and yet we have a 45 minute delay to the start time

Cricket hates itself

NTA

Overhead conditions could make it interesting.
