Ashes D1: 3rd Test – A proper day of Test cricket in Adelaide

Australia hold the early edge after Day One in Adelaide,
finishing on a surface that, as Ed put it, “looked tennis-bally”
and made scoring off the front foot hard work. Corbin and Ed
break down the dismissals, uneven bowling, and why conditions are
likely to ease as the Test unfolds.


The guys talk Alex Carey’s century, the impact of Steve Smith’s
late withdrawal, Usman Khawaja’s recall and 82, and the looming
influence of Mitch Starc once Australia take the ball.


With a record crowd, big tactical questions ahead, and, in
Cowan’s words, “a proper day of Test cricket” in the books, the
verdict is clear: the game is alive, but Australia are slightly
ahead.


ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by
Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to
keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big
issues that are dominating the cricket agenda. Whether it's Ashes
results, the latest in live fixtures or you just need a hit of
cricket banter, Corbin and Ed are here to keep you up to date on
the game in Australia and abroad.
