Adelaide Test - Day one

Good seat, right by the boundary in East Stand. Thankfully in shade until early afternoon and then the sun screen comes into full use as temperature gets to about 32 degrees.

Weird start to the day. Australia started in self destruct mode which Anderson took full advantage off (well not quite i guess as he dropped a hard return catch from Hussey which would have made it 12-4) but 2-3 (or 3 for 2 as the Australians say) was their worse start ever in test cricket.

On what everyone was saying was a perfect wicket (we will see tomorrow) Australia then got some momentum at various stages but continued to lose wickets - England bowled well but to be honest the batting was quite ordinary from Australia.

Advantage very much with England day one.
