Australia have only batted an over less, but have half the runs. They still have 4 wickets in hand but massive pressure on Carey now. Mitchell Starc will be pissed though. Is this his moment for a maiden test ton?
Bugger, fell just 88 runs short

At this rate Australia will bat for more than an hour today.
Maybe even more two hours? Not much more, though!

Can nobody bat in Test matches any more?
A lot of soft dismissals.
Crowd got their money's worth!

Huh.
My favourite day watching v cricket in recent memory was the Sunday as Baz and his minions desperately held on to try and deny India an inevitable win.
There was no chance of winning.
It was desperately holding on for a draw. Hour upon hour.
It was ball after ball of not getting out.
Baz made three-hundy. And we didn't lose.
We get to here and 19 dudes lose their wickets in 360 mns?
Can not one batsman out of supposedly the two best teams in world cricket not bat for more that two hours?

Well that must have been an interesting days cricket. Looking forward to the highlights somewhat - well at least the second half.

Huh.
There's no tension on day one compared to the back end of a second innings, so wickets entertains the crowd.

well i woke up and England were already all out, which was a pretty depressing start to the day, so at 10am, i'll take that as a first day's cricket. Just goes to show what a wicket with a bit in it can deliver and how hard it is to bat against top class fast bowling on it.
Archer, Wood, Carse and Atkinson were brilliant, and Stokes gets 5. Madness
