Being 1/9 already, Aussies haven’t started well.

They both rode out of the picture some years ago. Jennifer died in 1999, Clarissa in 2014.

Incommunicado on the couch.
Smith, the worthy, gets a ton.
Smithy got hs 29th century to equal Bradman and Labs is just short of his double century @106.

A well worked ton at that.
Labs is in the nervous 197’s.

I’m watching a bit of it too.
WI 1/150 at lunch.
A watchful morning session by the batsmen on day three.
The ABC cricket blog has now introduced a little graphic to accompany their ball by ball text.
It’s not too bad but primitive, no doubt a work in progress.

the bowler has a consistent line at least. needs to threaten the off stump a bit more though.
In the normal scheme of things 3/200 is very acceptable.
England have collapsed to be all out for 657 off 101 overs.
Second new ball is due.
What do you reckon, bat on for an hour after lunch and then declare? Pitch looks a bit lifeless, so Aussies need to give themselves plenty of time to bowl the WI out a second time.

There’s 5 sessions of cricket left, we can well afford to bat on for a while and give the bowlers a bit more time to recover.
I think it’s academic really.
Anyway, we’ve declared and put them in.
I feel anxious for anyone planning a day at the cricket tomorrow.
I believe Steve Smith is on field captain today.

Braithwait is a plucky character, it’s going to be a formality tomorrow.

Australia’s Favourite Nathan,
The GOAT got another.. 4 fer
.. and another. Brathwaite gone for 110.
I think that’s the last of the serious resistance.

No matter how plucky some of the WI batsmen might be their bowlers are very ordinary.
They have only taken 6 wickets this test match, you normally need to take 20 wickets to win a test match.
.. and that’s it done and dusted. Aus win by 164 runs and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
