Desperate stuff by the sun. Agree, and i too would be very surprised if there were any in either camp mental enough to even consider it.

Im sure you have nothing to prove so a regular handshake should be adequate mate. Looking forward to the test, though the time difference means theres a good chance of me copping a written warning for using my phone at work to check on the play. Can't be avoided....

I hope its hot, quick and flat. And the Aussies win the toss!!

[rickjames]

Well, Joe's done the toss right.

[manno]

Poor Aussies can't catch a break.

Hazlewood clocked 6 of his fastest 30 deliveries in test cricket at adelaide. ...and already is looking pretty quick again . I really like the look of him with an extra yard of pace .

Whatever the outcome, I want Cook to do well. Enough is enough! Throughout this match, I will say negative things about his batting to NOT jinx him.

So, Cook is looking horrible! Terrible! He doesn't know how to bat.

Starc draws first blood. Cook is the first one out.

Outfield looks really quick. Stoneman seems to be confident with a couple of boundaries.

[Biggie Smalls]

Wow. First 5 overs has had everything . Plenty of runs , plays and misses , and now cook is gone . The batsmen know the yorkers are coming but starc still gets them . Love it .
Ground , as usual , is like lightning,  plenty of runs to be had. I love the wacca . I'll miss seeing it in action for the big tests .

Go home cook and slay some sheep. A*&hole!

Didn't work mate ....

Cook. Is done. Finished.

[sanredrose]

Cook. Is done. Finished.

In this series .. probably Yes. Seems a little out of form.

[InternalTraining]

Cook ....*sigh*

[golders]

Odds on Cook retiring after the Ashes must be pretty high..The easy life tending to sheep must be tempting...

[LateBloomer]

Cook is so far out of form at the moment, barring the double ton last summer he has scored next to nothing

Strange as he was prolific for Essex last summer in championship and one day cricket. That ball that got him looked very drivable.

Stoneman looks comfortable again, have to question why he has only recently been selected after scoring plenty for Durham over the years. Cooks had some hopeless partners since Strauss

[sanredrose]

Two broken bats for Stoneman till now - first bat in the second test and second bat in the third test. Is Kippax sending him new bats or is he getting his stuff fixed up in Aus 

[jchokshi]

Feel bad for Vince. Poor guy makes one mistake and gets dusted.  Before that delivery he was leaving so comfortably.
