Over 50K on Day 1

Insane

Rohit always been that big?

He's always been a little round.

Remember when 1st saw him live & was expecting him to be taller.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

How spoilt are we to have one of the best stadiums in the world!

& it wasn't even completely full...

Line ups were crazy though. Can't they put on more staff.

Probably one of those hard things to get staff for that close to Xmas. People already have longer work than the 2 for 3 days the match would go

Probably true, but if charging 15.50 for a beer, surely can pay staff a bit more...

Any ways, shorter queues today & seats sorted. Perfect weather.

Who is 5his imposter? Surely not the real Anne?

crap

 

[rocket18]

We have some ordinary batsman at the moment, no one knocking down the door at state level??

 

[GreyCrow]

Am I right in saying McSweeney doesnt have his Test number on his shirts?

Noticed yesterday as I wanted to compare his debut number

No use knocking if the door wont be opened

Smith is done

 

[rocket18]

Head is the only one thats come out with any conviction, the other batsman seem to have zero interest in scoring. Too many out of form.

 

[Cap]

Disappointed for McSweeney.

Kostas needs to debut this season, Smith is cooked, but there is no way we drop him.

Marnus back in the runs is nice.

 

[spenze]

For people who don't get it, that is why you have a player like Trav. Doesn't matter how hard everyone else is finding it, he will come out and play the same game each time and hit bowlers of their line and length

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Shocker from the ump, but unforgivable from Marsh for not reviewing that.

Webster in please.

 

[Mostyn]

Ridiculous by Marsh.

What made him think it was a snick?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

A great look of AO with a packed house. We should have more matches here. India never disappoints.

Travis Head

 

[GreyCrow]

Travis Head

Has been consistent

 

[Cromulant]

The extra SACA member thing wasn't thought through

Unfortunately its a result of not playing a lot of red ball cricket. Players just dont have the opportunities these days to learn their game and hence build an innings. Its why t20 shots are becoming a trend in tests because players no longer have the patience.

 

[GreyCrow]

Travis has mostly taken the game away from India one feels

Need another 50+

 

[adelaidecrows]

Australia look like a declaration is coming. Want to put India in tonight.
