Readings of poetry, prose and thoughts on cricket by Bill Ricquier.
On a scorching day at the Adelaide Oval Australia finished on 371 with Mitchell Starc making a vital fifty while Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon ripped through England’s top order early after lunch. England slipped to 71 for 4, recovered partially thanks to Ben Stokes, but still trail by about 180 with three days to play.
The episode covers heated on-field controversies over DRS and reviews, concerns over Stokes’ fitness, and the bleak choices facing England’s selectors. Australia look comfortably placed to press for a result while England must find runs and resilience to keep the series alive.
