My final thoughts as Australia wrap up a series-levelling victory in Adelaide, inside 7 sessions of play! How the match was defined by the return to form of Australia's fast-bowling cartel, Australia's ability, and India's inability, to piece partnerships together, and how the individual magnificence of Travis Head turned the match.

All of my thoughts as Australia claim the honours on the 2nd day of the 2nd Test, first with the bat as Travis Head flays a remarkable 140 off 141 deliveries, then with the ball as they take 5 wickets despite runs flowing freely for India in the night session.

My thoughts on a riveting first day of the Adelaide Day/Night Test Match as Mitchell Starc provides a career-best moment against the touring side, before Marnus Labuschagne and Nathan McSweeney grit through the night session against the ever-threatening Bumrah. A magnificent day of Test cricket.

The 2nd Test between Australia and India is fast approaching, with the Day Night match in Adelaide beckoning! I take a quick look at recent games between the two sides at Adelaide Oval, whether Steve Smith might be able to make adjustments to return to form, and why India can go from strength to strength.

Jake's thoughts as South Africa skittle Sri Lanka for 42 on the second day of play! This isn't the first time the Proteas have turned a low batting total into a first innings lead, their bowling at home has been a ferocious prospect for a while.

Final thoughts from the 1st Test of the Australian summer as India wrap up a resounding victory over the host nation by a whopping margin of 295 runs on the 4th day of play. India's brilliance with bat and ball, Australia's top order woes, player of the match, and more!

My thoughts on Day 3 of the 1st Test, as India pulverise their way into an unassailable position of dominance on the back of sparkling tons to Jaiswal and Kohli, and another merciless barrage of Bumrah bowling!

My thoughts on a fascinating Day 2 of the 1st Test between Australia and India as Jaiswal and Rahul bat the visiting team into a position of massive strength in Perth!

Quick thoughts on the first day of cricket from the Border/Gavaskar Trophy series between Australia and India. Might do more of these... might not! But the inspiration struck!
