Must have been an 80 year old that decided a break in play at 4:30pm should be called dinner.

Early bird special, half price dinner before 5pm

Great first day. Australia slightly on top.

I watched a lot of the first session and FFS I have missed watching test cricket.

In and out of sleep/ dozing on the couch, a few work calls, a couple of wickets, a genuine sporting contest on my TV. This is actually how life should be.

An enthralling contest and while we might have a slight advantage at the moment that could change quickly today
That run out could prove costly for them

India cleaned up for 244.

Let's see how the openers go.

I'm not confident. I'm expecting a middle order rescue mission.

Hopefully Green goes ok in his first knock.

4 maidens in a row, no runs for either batsmen

That's a huge win for a bloke in horrible form and another bloke who has never opened the batting in red ball cricket, not even in juniors.

Burns looks like a bloke who has no idea where his next runs are coming from.

Re: First Test Australia v India - December 17-21 2020, Adelaide Oval

What I thought would happen, you put in a batsmen who does not specialise in opening and rarely do they make runs.

Wade out for 8 LBW

Re: First Test Australia v India - December 17-21 2020, Adelaide Oval

Now Burns out (8) for LBW, but DRS was a bit suff. Umpire gave him out anyway.

Re: First Test Australia v India - December 17-21 2020, Adelaide Oval

Both openers fail, whoulda guessed?

Re: First Test Australia v India - December 17-21 2020, Adelaide Oval

2/35 at break

Re: First Test Australia v India - December 17-21 2020, Adelaide Oval

Burns was an absolute shocking selection. The ugliest 8 runs you'll ever see, 40 balls and goes out by missing a juicy half volley on leg.
