A bit late to the party. The game is delicately poised after 2 days, with Ussie tonning up last night 😍
How good has this test been so far? Gunna be honest here: no matter who wins I’m still gunna enjoy the outcome. How good was Crawely’s opening 4? How exciting is the Poms scoring rate? How good is it to hear and see the Balmy Army? Not only do they excitedly follow their team but also understand the game and are quick to applaud any good play regardless of who it emanates from (albeit understandably less enthusiasticly if it’s the opposition). Compare this to the ghastly behaviour of Indian fans.
Yeah it’s been great, at the end of the day I just want to see some good cricket. The game has ebbed and flowed so far to both sides, day 3 will be fascinating, if aus can push 450+ they’ll be in the driver’s seat, but still in the bazball era even that might not be enough!
I think Lyon may have a big part to play, this sort of hard pitch is where he’s done well in Australia, though it probably won’t bounce as much. Excited to see where it goes! If aus can win this one I think that will set up the series beautifully
Last day is set up beautifully, here’s hoping the rain holds out enough to leave enough time for Australia to chase down the target ;)
Banger of a test match!
Congrats to Ussie on batting each day of the match. He was our rock.
And what a captain’s knock from Pat Cummins!! Thought we were goners at 8 for. He must need a wheelbarrow to carry around his balls.
