LOL ... Had India not been behind with the overs, AUS would've probably had a lead of 408 yesterday and declared.

363 is enough runs going into day 5 on this Adelaide pitch ... Lyon will be a handful I reckon !!!

Yes he does Cali and I am disappointed they continue to leave out Umesh Yadav who is, perhaps, the quickest of the lot.

He will concede runs but he needs the exposure to develop.

What is the situation with Cummins and Pattinson?

Don't know, maybe will see them at the Gabba ... will check.

Meanwhile, Clarkey may well be out of series, so don't know if CA will continue with Haddin as temporary Cappo and Watto as VC or fast track Smith as Cappo. CA are pretty ruthless in their selections !! .. but we'll see. Hope Pup still has a bit of a way to go .... I think he deserves it ...

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

Serena	This batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.
