Lost count of how many wickets I seen yesterday
Got up for the finale of NZ v ENG then when that finished put the IND v AUS match on & if my maths is correct 18 wickets in 5 hours play all in Australia slight favourites going into the days play but imploded with the bat England got a bit of fortune in bowling twice under the lights with a new pink ball against NZ top order wise decision first day to get 300+ on the board first day then declare to get into the bowling when the lights came on

A Sign of the Times
From the BBC Sport website https://bbc.com/sport/cricket/ Future of Test cricket could be like Wimbledon, says Rajasthan Royals owner Manoj Badale Here is the gist of it Quote:
You can imagine the comments underneath the main article. I did not listen to the podcast where these comments were made My view So, basically a Test series between England, India & Australia. Play each other once then some convoluted formula to work out which team has won. Innings a maximum of 90 overs so all over in 4 days to save time. Done & dusted in less than 3 weeks All to please the 10-15-year-olds in India. Nearly 150 years of tradition out the window. ODIs gone as well. No need for first-class cricket like county cricket or the Sheffield Shield. Suburban grade cricket and school cricket probably gone too. Major and minor league T20 & T10 or "100" tournaments only. Naturally, all are run by the BCCI This bloke has it all sorted out There are huge multi-million (billion?) tournys planned in the near future in the USA and Saudi Arabia. In the USA, Aaron Finch has been lured out of retirement to captain a side based in San Francisco. This series is backed by both Cricket NSW and Cricket Victoria. WTF???? It starts in July, the same time as the Ashes is on. Finch Signed for Major League Cricket Something will have to give. Tradition vs money. It is all about content for tv networks. We saw what happened nearly 50 years ago with the Packer circus World Series Cricket. Money always wins Dr Grace and "The Don" will be turning in their graves
