    Tricky chase this for Australia. No pace in the deck and Australia are well renowned for a 4th innings collapse.

    Great partnership from Warner and Bancroft. Heaps of pressure early from Anderson and the cheat.

    Couldn't watch today. But it's amazing how quick a Test can change course. One of the things I love about Test Cricket.

    According to reports, without the new stadium Cricket Australia were thinking about taking test cricket away from us.

    The Gabba - 42,000
    Adelaide - 54,000
    The WACA - 20,000
    MCG - 100,000
    SCG - 48,000

    Spot the odd one out!

    Cricket Australia has been playing the grounds/state associations off of each other for a few years now. The SCG and the MCG are probably guaranteed a Test each, as is Adelaide Oval which appears to the Day/Night venue of choice. That leaves 2 or 3 Tests for 3 current venues and Canberra are going to join the mix next year by hosting its first ever Test.

    I think the calendar for next year is 4 Tests vs India and 2 vs Sri Lanka and reports are already suggesting the Gabba might miss out on the first Test which would be a shame given Australia’s record there over the last 29 years.

    Shame a Test Cricket will leave the WACA, hopefully they can recreate the same pitch type at the new stadium. Having said that the WACA pitch has been a bit average for a few years now.

    the WACA pitch bears little resemblance to what it was in the late 70's

    It was pretty quick at the turn of the century. I remember when Brett Lee hit Alex Tudor in 2002 sickening blow and Tudor never played another Test.

    And our stadium was built without any federal money, unlike the recent Adelaide Oval revamp!!

    Another case of ‘spot the odd one out’?!
