Is it upside down because it's in Australia?

Slight advantage to the Aussies after Day 1. Think Jimmy might just enjoy bowling on that track. Live on Willow tv in USA and a 7 pm start ET so great watching.

Think it’s pretty even after the first day. Surprised how much the ball turned.
Re: ASHES. FIRST TEST
Anyone know where highlights can be watched?

If England can post 350+ Mooen may become a factor as the match progresses,decent 1st day shame Vince didn't bag a ton but the Aussies might not be so mouthy now.Steve-Harpers-perm wrote:Think it’s pretty even after the first day. Surprised how much the ball turned.

Re: ASHES. FIRST TEST
I went to bed early last night so I wouldnt be tempted to start watching at 12 and end up staying up all night.
When I saw the score this morning, I thought Australia were ahead but, having seen the turn achieved on Day1, England could be in a strong position if they can get just another 150 runs. First hour tomorrow will be tough with the new ball & refreshed bowlers but fingers crossed we can get through that and crack on a session and a half.

Why do Aussies insist on using “yeah, look.....” at the beginning of the reply to every question?? It’s as annoying as people who start a sentence with the word “so”!!

Re: ASHES. FIRST TEST
The Aussies started off attacking but got git to the boundary 3 times in the first 10 balls or so. They soon went back to line and length that is hard to score off.
We don't need to take risks, a draw is a good result at the Gabba which is normally their freebie.

Whisper it quietly but it's a solid start to the morning session. 350 would be a great tally.

Tough ask to hit 300 now with Aussies momentum.
Saving grace could be that pitch is looking very nice to bowl on.
