They should last longer here than with a pink ball at the Gabba

I think Smith will want to prove himself at opener, he'll bat a full day himself.
I can't see us bowling first if we win the toss.
I think we bat, bat long, roll them, then bat again just to give our bowlers a rest.
A perfect test for cricket Australia would be;
Day 1- Australia win the toss bat all day
Day 2- Australia bat until just before dark
Day 3- West indies bowled out before lunch. Australia bat rest of day.
Day 4- Australia bat / declare before lunch bowl Windies out by the end of the night.

Just noticed the start time as 10am instead of what has become the more recent norm of 10.30am. Anyone know why this is?

Lol, a ten a.m. start time, total farce. Why is it so hard for the clowns running things to leave well enough alone?Down the Hill wrote:whufc wrote:Trader wrote:I'm taking the over 8.5 sessions.

Oh well, I guess this test match occurring in Adelaide in January in fine weather will not see days end prematurely on account of bad light.
