I knew that clubs in Australia don't have English style covers but it almost seems primitive to see hessian and plastic sheeting being employed at even the highest level of cricket down under. That said, the grounds people are incredibly efficient in getting them down - almost the speed of a Formula 1 tyre change
That's it for me for tonight, I'm off to bed. I thought I might get to see 2 hours of play.....but no. Supposed to start at 11.30, but rain delays the start until midnight. Then off for 30 mins after just 4 and a half overs & back out again after a 30 min delay.....only to go back in again 35 mins later. 50 mins play for the morning session.
This is in Australia. I thought it only rained in Manchester.......

Broad had Warner caught in the slips from around the wicket just a few balls before the most recent interruption. Good to see Broad still terrorising him.
Green has been immense, always think something will happen when he comes on
Although that statement isn't so spectacular when we lose a wicket every other over
mentioned before the series that green would be a big player for australia, think i got some lols at the time - firmly think he's going to be their talisman all rounder in the future.
If we can get Smith cheaply in the first spell tomorrow, I will take that as a win. Getting their top three all out for less than 50 is already an achievement in itself!
