It's unusual to look to the skies and feel relieved to see brooding dark clouds; especially ahead of a day when England are batting. But following relentless & inescapable heat over the last two days a soothing south-westerly and cloud cover made for a far more pleasant and cheerful walk to 'work' this morning.
As mentioned yesterday it really is a beautiful trek to the ground and one I'll photograph when the sun comes out again. You'll be hard pressed to find a photograph of Australia in anything other than golden sun. And following a great evening out in Glenelg on the coast and two days of English domination I was understandably in fine fettle. But can the good times continue to roll?
Well KP has just hit the second century I've seen him post at this ground and Cook is still at the crease in a one man vigil that David Blaine would be proud of. KP is batting like a man who has waited eleven hours for his turn and is determined to make sure it's worth the wait. The way he's been advancing down the wicket to the bowler's proof of how quickly he wants to get on with things. The only thing that can get him out is his own eagerness. The only thing that can get Cook out is exhaustion or boredom.
