Probably a pretty even day all told. Guess we'll know tomorrow once England bat for a bit.
41°C forecast apparently!

8-326 in my opinion we have our noses in front
Runs on the board
England have to bat last
The big flop
Cam Green ! A second ball duck averaging 22 this year Over rated !
How good is Starc this series
With the ball 18 wickets at 14 ( 4 innings )
With the bat 122 runs at 61 ( 3 innings )
Third top score today 33 not out
Big worry no Smith batting or CATCHING !
( The Barmy Army when they get back to their hotel will be 2 colours red and white )

Alex Carey lost his father Gordon Carey in September, 2025.
Months ago, he said, "Dad was my mate, my coach, my mentor."
Today, after his maiden Ashes
, he looks at the heavens to his dad, and points the bat towards his wife in front of his own home crowd in Adelaide.
His wife's emotional reaction says it all
This is where cricket becomes more than just a game.

They are hoping he is a unicorn in the Jaques Kallis mould. It’s not really panning out that way, and maybe he should’ve had to work for it a bit more?
Someone thinks he goes well at T20?
$4mil for 2 months? Did I hear that correctly?

Green has been the golden child since his first test. They are desperate for him to succeed and be the dominant force in Australian cricket going forward. Sadly he has delivered very little. You look a guy like Webster with half the natural talent but consistently delivered at test level. I guess while they are winning you stick with him or do you send him back to shield and grade to find some form
