As a gift for my first post on Bluesky, I give you this piece of cricketing gold. I had the pleasure of being a part of this game. A reminder why cricket remains unrivalled, and a sport for everyone.
How good is it to see a middle order partnership. #AUSVIND

Smith very lucky. Use your bat FFS. #AUSVIND

Testing conditions no doubt, however Smith and Marnus don’t turn the strike over enough, and that encourages the shot that gets the wicket. #AUSVIND

Test series poised beautifully. On to Brisbane. #AUSVIND

Finally. Love this.

Good grit McSweeney and Marnus. #AUSVIND

This is gripping cricket. Aussie batters squaring up too easily. A bit easier from the couch!

Good bowling unit performance. M Starc, keeps on keeping on. Will be a 400+ test wicket taker. Getting to legend status.

Top flight Test Cricket here. How classy is Gill? Get Boland on.

Can’t wait for a bit of pink ball test cricket today. A lot to prove for some Aussie batters. www.cricket.com.au/news/4180952...?

Pleasure to see Mick Thomas and the Roving Commission at Creswick this afternoon. Great gig, and great memories as they played some WPA classics.

I would love to know who the Australian selectors think are the next crop of men’s team batters. It’s not apparent and it feels like a massive gap compared to the talent profile of other countries.

The Australian batting order is all over the shop. McSweeney is a middle order batter. Marnus looks cooked, Smith is fading and Head is exposed too early. Marsh looks underdone. We may need some short term pain to find the next generation. #AUSVIND

Marnus. Do we need to talk about Marnus? #AUSVIND

Nitish. Can play.

YP Jaiswal looks a talent! #AUSVIND

Indian batters not going as hard with their hands. Smart batting #AUSVIND

This Perth pitch should flatten out a bit now. India in the drivers seat. #ausvind

I really like the Bombers draft haul. Gerreyn looks like an athletic beast and Clarke looks competitive and classy. We are set up nicely for 2025 with 2x R1 and 2xR2. Good to see a strategy in play.

What a day of cricket. What odds this game getting in to a 4th day? Bumrah is something else. Marnus? #ausvindia
