Now, to local conditions. I am your eyes, your ears, your little goosebumps on your skin. We’re very close, you and I. It’s only of those blustery, moody Melbourne days. The day equivalent of a guy outside a bar who vaguely thinks he might fight someone but isn’t sure who or why. It’s hot and growing hotter, and there’s a lot of cloud overhead and some grumbly breeze. The forecast says it will grow hotter until the middle of the afternoon, then around that time or a bit later will come a cold change and some rain. So we may not have a complete day of cricket, but if we lose some time it should be a curtailment at the end rather than an interruption in the middle. Fingers crossed.
Once you’ve read the report, if you’d like to watch or hear about the first day in more detail, it so happens that a combination of me and Guardian cricket colleague Adam Collins took some time after play for exactly that. With bonus nice cinematography from Cameron Fink.
