You won’t find the batsman complaining, credit to England in that case, who performed better. Would’ve won had it not been for rain during 2nd last day.
Not sure about that tbh. There could have been 2 more days and probably still wouldn’t of had a result.
Finally! Although some rain is predicted on Monday according to the BOM.
The sooner we move to astroturf for pitches, the better.
And tomorrow morning / early aftenoon apparently.
And in typical Sydney summer fashion, right now at the SCG, not much happening at all
Didn’t they lose most of day 4 last week in Melbourne?
After the first two days were glorious, including Boxing Day with 90,000 and 1.3m
Out of interest, did you round both those numbers up?
Obviously.
just a FYI…
sweet!
A year round dedicated channel? Strewth!
*As of July this year, Sky Sports in the UK has a “Sky Sports Cricket” channel and a few others dedicated to particular genres of sport.
*Fox Sports here in Australia already has channels dedicated to the AFL and NRL (by far Australia’s two most popular Winter sports) in Fox Footy and Fox League respectively.
*Cricket is by far Australia’s most popular Summer sport.
With all of that in mind, I can’t say I’m surprised that Foxtel would be looking to set up a “Fox Cricket” channel (depending on how the next broadcast rights deal goes, of course).
Marvellousssss effort that!!
Forget England for the moment, the way the South African bowlers are going against India that quartet of Philander, Steyn, Morkel and Rabada will be more than a handful against Australia next month, notwithstanding Australia have an excellent record in South Africa in tests post apartheid.
Don’t forget Maharaj! He’s had a fantastic start to his test career.
That should be a cracking series IMO, so glad it is a 4 test series.
Yes, looking forward to the SAF vs AUS Test series in March.
Should be a cracker!
The conditions in SAF are similar to here, and yes it’s odd that whilst SAF have had the wood on the Aussies over here, it’s been the other way around in SAF.
The South African side against Australia could be the last for a few of them if the talk of a few retirements is true
Yes, am hearing Dale Steyn may not play this series due to injury which would probably mean the end of his career against the Aussies.
