Shocker of a crowd.

Hope this game gets to days 3 and 4.
Don’t you think there is just to much cricket played now people just feel burnt out. Especially considering we are playing teams who we’ve beaten up the last time they were here.

Well that's saying something as the Summer has just started.

By the last test it will be over saturation. I know why it's planned this way, get ss much cash as you can from TV rights. I'm not a t20 guy so don't tune in religiously like I used to with the ODI tri-series.

And the obvious, Pakistan aren't competitive away from home. Neither are the Windies.

It's f**king awful hey? Take the Test off them next year.

There was press, some good and bad. 'West Test' is half baked.

They need to look at it again. Or maybe this falls into expectations for CA. General excitement for this test series I'd put slightly ahead of last Summer but that isn't saying much.

They are probably holding on for the India/England tours.

Can't see how this Pakistani attack are going to take 10 wickets on this pitch.

Australia to declare at 4/997.

I'd say take Test Cricket back to the WACA but the WACA is in the process of being reduced to a 10k "Boutique" venue.

Lord...Ravi, Smith and the Human Scrotum. I guess start with the punish and improve from there?

If Warner cashes in today/this test, he should spend the next week growing out a handlebar moustache before the 2nd test

Bring on the spinner I think.

That is Agha? Averages 45 from 9 tests. Not too inspiring.
