2-1 to Oz for me. I think the kiwis could snatch one, maybe even the MCG test (assuming they can sort that pitch out)

reckon will be at least one draw and most likely due to sydney weather

Seems like they would abandon play due to poor light if it were held there today (and yesterday).

Far better than in england!

Plus smoke from bushfires is hardly "weather". :wink:

Sydney most likely to rain that's all but everyone raves about the city so it must have things going for it

We've discussed this before, sydney has more rain than London.

Agreed but if comparing countries capitals with each other then not much in it, couple of days on average.
Compare the big cities in the UK as Sydney is here and then the UK wins hands down.

Brisbane has more rain than London, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin all have more rain than Darwin.

And without the stupidly.hot days as well.

Darwin has more rain than Darwin. Ok...………

Funny when you watch those shows on Fox when Brits are looking to move, they see Australia as "place that has so much more to do outdoors, great place to raise kids, the SUN, the WEATHER, generally a better lifestyle"......etc etc.

You base your opinions on reality tv shows. I'll base mine on facts.

Yes, and facts are our weather in Oz is overall much nicer. That was just an illustration of people pining to get out of the UK and their climate.

Your winters...……...dark most of the day...…...cold, rain, drizzle, fog, freezing temps, snow storms......then soon as the sun comes out everyone starts to swelter. Yes, sounds lovely.....if you're a penguin.

How is that a fact?

Common knowledge as are your winters (as described)

Sounds more like an opinion to me.

And the weather in Poland?

Terrible most times I would imagine. But I live here, so matters very little to me.

Back on topic: Australia on top after day 1

when Steve Smith took that great diving catch at slips, did one of the commentators say "he leapt like a cheetah" ?

Odd that this was almost a 10 v 10 test match.

Hopefully NZ's Boult will be fit for MCG and maybe make it a closer match.

Nevertheless, 1-0 to us.

Hazlewood out for Boxing day test, Boult to replace Ferguson.

The Kiwis, will put on a harder test this time around than the Poms' did in the Ashes.

So you think NZ will win then?

Don't confuse him. :wink:

Been a while now since Toomer trotted that out

Been a while since the worst cheating ever in cricket, but the aussies are still world no. 1 at it. It's a stain that will never be erased.

Ball tampering

I'm here.

Never mind toomer, they still haven't got over the hand of god in '86.

Our "cheats" at least paid a price. Time served, so back to square one. Meanwhile Root plays on..........
