They were 70/1 a couple overs before the break...bit of a collapse there. Mitch Starc doing pink ball test things.
 
England are 533 ahead at the end of day 2...that's insane. They've batted so quickly in both innings that they could have declared an hour before the end of play and still had too many. Almost as crazy as that game against Pakistan earlier this year.

I wonder what Boycott and co would have made of it all...it's a long way from the test cricket I grew up watching.
 
India brought Rohit back and it hasn't gone well...batted so poorly Lyon got only 1 over in the match.

Aus need 19 to win.

Geoff is still around. You can find his views in his newspaper column. Especially when they lose. Its scathing on Stokes & bazz.
 

Mohammed Siraj & Travis Head found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct​

Media Release​

India bowler Mohammed Siraj and Australia batter Travis Head have been found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct in their recently concluded second Test match in Adelaide.

Siraj has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee after being found to have breached article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal.”

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Siraj’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 82nd over when, upon dismissing the batter (Travis Head), Siraj came within close proximity to him and gave him a send-off by pointing towards the direction of Australia’s dressing room.

Head was reprimanded after he was was found to have breached Article 2.13 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to the “abuse of a player, player support personnel, umpire or match referee during an international match.”

One demerit point has been added to Head’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident took place when, on being dismissed by Siraj, Head reacted to a send-off in an aggressive and inappropriate manner.

Siraj and Head admitted their respective offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Richard Illingworth, third umpire Richard Kettleborough and fourth umpire, Phillip Gillespie levelled the charges.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

Imagine the likes of Donald, Warne, etc. playing in the modern era. They would be fined and have all their demerit points after one match.

They've taken the spice out of cricket.

Siraj is a p0es though.
 
Just goes to show what you think you can get away with when you think you're God's gift to cricket.
