Awesome :yes: I had to wait till I was an adult to go watch my first test and the was the Windies in 1992 @ the MGC. You need to take him to an ashes test though Pab. They are great!

A shame we lost Starc for the summer. He didn't look happy when bowling from ball 1 and it turns out he has a stress fracture. I like the pink ball though. It was so easy to see in non-hd :rage: and it seemed to hold up very well but it was swinging a lot at night. That's good though as it adds another dimension to the game.

Nice to see a match with a result - and the way things have gone, still in doubt too.

That's awesome Pab.

Can match and great pitch swung the balance of power back to the bowlers. Quite a change from Perth and much more enjoyable IMHO.

Day night tests are great but I don't think they should get too excited and play them all at night. One per series..

Awesome Pab, nothing like a day at the cricket, can imagine it would be amazing with your Son there too.

Was it the pink ball making it swing or the fact it was a day/night? Seemed to start swinging late in the day.

I gather it was a bit of both, it swung more during the last session than other parts of the day, and I gather it swung more than the white ball generally does in one day games.

I get the feeling this next test is going to be like St. Joseph's 3rd grade team playing Australia :(

Everyone is complaining about Shaun Marsh being dropped. But he only got in because of injury. He just happened to do well, very well.

BBL has been good to watch. I guess we need seeing the one day series is a former shadow of it's self. They are getting big crowds because of that.

Travis Head took to Sean Abbott tonight, 45 runs off 9 balls! :eyepop:

And we have another leg spinner, good drift and spin and only 18. She's a good tweaker. Watch the wickets by Wellington from this WBBL game.

Lol - let's bowl another full toss. It worked so well the other times. What an undisciplined bowling performance. Batting was very entertaining, however!

Good total from the Indians... Just over par IMHO..

Will be good to see if we are able to chase it.

Great to be tested by a quality team again after the Windies disaster.

I get the feeling this series, which everyone will forgot 5 minutes after it is done, is being used as a test bed for the bowlers. Seeing what we have beyond the usual suspects and who has it and who wilts.

I thought we were in trouble with the Indians making that much but the pitch was a road. Smith and Bailey did well :)

Great chase to watch. Could have been super boring but Smith kept having a lash :)

The BBL has been great this year. It shows the depth of talent we have when they are able to pluck players from club cricket to play.

Jesus, The Worlds # 1 & 2 teams and not a quality strike bowler to be seen between them.

Gayle was awesome last night but the rest of the team failed a apart from the 9th wicket stand. Bravo and White were stupid. They only needed to rotate the strike to Gayle and they would have done well and maybe be in the finals. But they fucked it and I'm kind of pissed.
