Aussies are feeling their way thru at present.
English bowling well but not a lot to show for it.
The pink ball is not my thing but hey, might be ok former some.

Aussies have been shafted by not having our captain and best bowler available.

However, we press on regardless and as l type, Warner slashes a square cut for FOUR!
Until then, he was 1 run off 30 balls.
Keep it going son!

2nd Test Match Update.

Picture perfect Adelaide has given us a beautiful Aussie summers day.

The cricket fans have come in, the sun is shining, the English team are getting a tanned up and throwing them overs down…… and bowling well.

The Aussies batsmen are starting to play some shots. Warner slashes to point again but they have them covered.

The hotdogs are fresh and are feeding the fans, along with a couple of schooners or three.

It really is a Cinderella story, people.

Stokes is following thru on his run up, which wasn’t evident in the first test…… so that is a good sign for you guys.

Warner hits another four!

Still can’t get my head around batsman letting bowls go thru so friggin close to the stumps.
The ball only has to ricochet a fraction and their goneski!

A very green pitch again with plenty of bounce.

It’s all happening!

This is a joke, 4 balls on the trot beats Labuchagne's outside edge. Surely the lucks gotta turn soon. Outrageous

A good batsman makes his own luck but the bowlers need to keep it up, they may get something.

To me, the short balls are a waste.
Make the batsman play l say.

Nowhere near as green as Brisbane, toss was massive looks a great batting wicket. We needed luck to go our way this session and again it hasn't!
