Today this game starts at Bellerive.

I should get a look at it for a while each day as the game progresses.

After having an unprecedented spell of sustained hot weather, it is raining this morning and looks like the CA11 game will not start on time at Bellerive.

Hopefully rain will clear for an arvo start.. it is a day/niter remember using the pink ball.

Radar showing no rain after this current band moves on.

somehow this batting line up looks better than our 1st choice

I'd like to see a comparison of shield averages...

Deck has a greenish tinge. Pinkie should hoop later.

 Should we have batted first..given it is a day/niter?  

Lankan bowlers wasting the new ball.

Burns goes cheaply. 

Burns out for 4 with an outside edge to 4th slip off bowler Raditha.

That shot was as bad as anything Finch has played.

Renshaw looks as nervous as I have seen him. 

Bit of pace in this Bellerive track.

Renshaw also nearly out with the ball beating outside edge.

Labu bowled for 7.

Baggers

How are you watching the game, mate?

live stream. not as fortunate as some having membership of the ground.:P

Mike will not like how those two went..loose techniques that is how.

Renshaw out caught behind for 7 off an outside edge.

He faced 35 balls!

Kurtis Patterson finally gets his chance.

At least Renners went to a good ball. Had to play.

3-26.. Sound familiar.

Are you out there DC?

These two are looking solid.

50 partnership Patterson/Pucovski.

I really like the look of Pucowski and Patterson!

They have plugged a very leaking ship.

Oh dear! Puck is a talent.. correct technique.. but for goodness sake dump the hook shot son.

Last tour game Sangha got a century.

Patterson needs to stay composed.

Like his mate Sangha also top edges a hook shot. 

These blokes should be playing red ball cricket not bloody T20.

its weird how the pull shot seems the safest shot in the world in odis but in tests it suddenly seems much more difficult

Should just be getting Patterson into the test squad witht his
