Test cricket is in a great place right now IMO.  The recent Australia vs India series was absolutely absorbing.  One of the best I've ever seen.  Was gutted the SA tour was called off.

Tough loss for India but expect them to come roaring back, like they did over here.  Australia smashed them in Adelaide... but from then on, it was all India.

Lost this one.

1-1.

Yep.  Wonder if this series will follow the same path as it did over here.

Well he's made it through the first part of the day....

Will be interesting to see what India make when they get in... that middle order is stacked!

Looks like they have gone with only two quicks - stiff leaving out Siraj - he looked like an amazing talent in Brisbane and Melbourne.

...looking forward to the main event today! Perth vs Sydney in the Big Bash final! 

 

I see Siraj is in for the third test... and he's just taken Root!  Looks a huge talent.

Good call, they've destroyed us here, that's India  now won 17 of their last 20 test matches which is quite incredible.

 

No real positives for England to take from this, maybe Lawrence who looks a very solid player.

Yeah, ended up a mirror image of the series out here.  Although Australia ran them a bit closer in the end.

India a really good team right now... so much depth it's incredible.  Miles ahead of everyone else right now.

On another topic, we have an incredible young batsmen in WA coming through the ranks.  Cam Green.  Picked up his first caps against India recently.  A lot of hype about him currently and massive things are being expected...

Ashes starts tonight.

Anderson left out of squad but will be back for the Second Test, they reckon he'll play three of the five tests. 39 now, getting on for a fast bowler.

Could well be an Aussie win in this First Test at The Gabba, weather may save the tourists though with rain forecast for the first three days.

Heart says a 2-2 drawn series, with England retaining the Ashes.

Head says 3-1 Aussies. ?

England don't hold the Ashes

Australia won the 2017/18 series 4-0. And then retained them in 2019 with a drawn 2-2 series in England
