I think the talk of the demise of Australian cricket is way of the mark.
There is enough in SS to bring through and there is some outstanding young talent
coming through the U/19 and U/17 programs like
Sam Hogan rated very highly in QLd as a batsmen
Oliver Peake from victoria another batsmen
Tom Campbell from Qld bstsmen
Addison Sherrif Nsw pace bowling allrounder
Simon Budge from WA batsmen

What happened to Steve Waugh's son? A few years ago he was getting talked up a bit, but I haven't seen his name for a while now (I don't follow SS too closely though)

Austin he quit Cricket around 2020 pressure of it all I believe, he has come back this season is still around he is 24 now,hasn't really broken through as yet.

I wondered where he'd gone to. U19 World Cup a few years was a bit surreal - free entry at Bay Oval to find Steve Waugh sitting on the bank.

Starc gets Jaiswal first ball of the second test

No wonder Aus love playing these day night tests - it's basically a guaranteed win every year

I'll bet we end up batting when the ball moves the most in the evening session and it backfires horrifically on us.

We should always play the first test at the Gabba before trying Adelaide. We fucked around with this last time against India and it fucked us

Anyone know why the Aussie team are wearing the black armbands?

In memoriam of Phil Hughes apparently.

I originally thought it was because Australian cricket was murdered in the first test.

The next guy in is called Harshit.

Hehe.

Ashwin's review makes Shane Watson look good.

MN5 - that ball makes him look "fairly...."

Holy shit - Reddy switch hits Boland for 6!

Makes Viv Richards look tame!

[antipodean]

Boland's getting belted. If he and Kumar were in a relationship the police would be called to investigate.

Lights go out at Adelaide oval, must be time to change those batteries…..

Surely not with Bowen's genius plan?

New Guy falls early followed by Smith - down the leg side.

[MN5]

Well, at least this test match is slightly more evenly poised

Wondering how all those cracks are going to affect things tomorrow - cooler weather predicted, mind

[KiwiMurph]

Immediately after the 3rd umpire makes his decision footage suddenly emerges which proves him wrong - though wouldn't have mattered anyway

[NTA]

Interesting to see what happens when the batsmen actually fucking apply themselves

I'm surprised Bumrah has only played 41 tests, feels like he's been around a lot longer than that. His numbers so far are frankly ridiculous, best bowler in the world at the moment.
