I love the Perth pitch.
Always full of bounce for the fast bowlers. Shame Perth itself is slow and sluggish. |

Amazing. England all out in 33 overs for 172 and Starc is on a Hat Trick come next bowling innings.
Starc getting 7 wickets. England missing their pedestrian slow pitches. Now let's see how their bowlers go in making Australia's batting innings define wether it's really the pitch calling the shots or if this England side is shot? |

The pitch speaks.
Australia 1 for 0. Weatherill out for a lbw duck. |

4 overs and still no runs...

Australia's innings not as good as Englands.
The Perth pitch is a fast bowlers dream, batter's nightmare. Only Sydney's Spinning pitch is the other bowlers dream. Anyway. Stuff cricket. Conan the Barbarian is almost on. |

Cricket changed the world.
Dr Peter Hawkins came up with the technology to assess the LBW calls with the Hawke-Eye camera angle as to see if the ball would hit the wicket or not. Since then, such technology is now used in a lot of sports. Btw. Sport is a yellow people thing. Or a part of Australia that culturally serves Asia - fair DINKUM. |

“19 wickets, a 116-year low, and one huge problem for Australia
Steve Smith trudges off - a familiar sight for Australia’s batsmen on day one. A dozen years after Mitchell Johnson terrorised an ageing England team, Australia’s band of veterans is facing a similarly frightful ordeal against one of the fastest pace battalions the old enemy has sent to these shores. 2 hours ago” I tried to listen to it on the radio ( it’s like being at the game)but it kept dropping out . It’s only just started, ffs. It’s a test not a half day promotion gig. Wait and see. Personally I love the pitch favours fast bowlers. It’s going to be a tough game. |

I like that blonde bomber batman O'Connell for starters. 4, nearly 5 (dropped) wickets go for just 11 runs. Never seen a more lively Perth pitch as this since the Clive Loydd Windies used it well. It's got bounce and giving the seam it's full potential. |

I dunno. Aussies might be bowled out quicker and for less.
Steve Smith spitting everywhere as usual and fondling his crotch as much as possible. Usman looking old and slow. Off injured again. I think this will be his last test. |

You heard it from me (Ozpol) first.
They're now asking if it's Usman's last match? Head to Head and Weather-stick are still in opening with 0/56. Maybe the moisture is out of the pitch and it's looking more like a Brazillian? |

As a loyal sth Sydney supporter and now a wavering wallabies supporter I am very happy to finally see my team win!!!
Because if you consider the two teams I mentioned first. I haven’t had a lot to be happy about 😓 Such is sports. I think it was a fantastic test and not just because Australia won. It was an amazing test match and it could have gone either way! I give England my respect. Great match! AUS won by 8 wickets Test 1 of 5 (Australia leads 1 to 0), Day 2 · Session 3Test 1 of 5 (AUS leads 1-0) · Day 2 · Session 3 21–22 Nov |

In sport, I don't really care who wins.
It's not really important compared to wasting one's life watching it if it is a very boring spectacle. Winning such an abysmal match just softens the blow. I love a good interesting and entertaining performance from both sides and we got it. We saw a 'Fast Bowler's Paradise' as delivered once again by a great Perth pitch. We also saw the only option left to a batting strategy against such. To attack the bowling like a T20 score and Head-to-head just happened to be the best exponent of that type of batting, in the side. They were also lucky that England didn't catch on till it was too late. Adelaide is the best pitch though. It brings out the best in all facets of the game. |

South Africa win Test series in India after 23 years (Cronje era).
Captained by 'black' Bavuma. Meanwhile Matt Renshaw, after hitting centuries as an opener in State. Might be recalled for injured 'old fart' Usman, although he put on the Media bullschitt of stating that he would prefer Usman to keep his spot. ::) Why do Aussie sportsmen put on this bullschitt show? When in truth he really hopes Usman can't and he can get back in, etc. Or he is definitely not to be entrusted into recall with this lack of motivation, ambition and energy. |
