Talk on the streets that Smith is unwell, hasnt trained for two days evidently

They are being very coy about it by just saying he is unwell

Reckon I just saw that dip shit trumpet player in the Myer Centre

How the **** can you find test cricket so boring you need to bring a trumpet player along to keep you entertained.

Hi, I'm soccer, nice to meet you.

Imagine you invented a heap of sports, only to find the rest of the world are much better at them than you are.

I'd be looking for something to distract myself, too

Sorry if it's previously been raised on here but does anyone know the rationale behind the start time being 10.00am instead of 10.30am?

There you go. Khawaja has to get in the side, he picked himself remember.

or even 11:00 am

I'd say this... https://www.cricket.com.au/matches?year=2025&isCompleted=0

Cricket finishes at 6:00 pm CDST, hour news at 6 pm, 15 min lead in for 7:15 start in Sydney

I thought the same, Im guessing with over rates being so slow they want to factor in the extra 30 mins on each day and still hit the 6pm news over east

It's an early start but just remember that the first one doesn't count.

Steve Smith had a net this morning, he was the first one in the nets and batted the longest.

From cricket.com

Massive breaking news: Steve Smith has just left the Adelaide Oval! The star batter exited the arena with his backpack on while his teammates huddled together ahead of the toss!

We haven't been given any information as of yet, but signs aren't good for Smith. He was struck on the groin at the nets on Tuesday and he didn't train at all on Monday due to feeling unwell.

Wasn’t that obvious Khawaja was ALWAYS playing
