Well, here we are in Adelaide, day one. Australia finished today 8 for 326.

Coagia 82, Alex Carey, 101, and Joffra, pick of the bowlers, 3 for 29 of 16. Let's be honest, none of this matters. We're going to talk about what this team has made us feel today, this team being the team that represents the country that we're from. And you know, you're getting updates on your phone, Pezza, about what's happening on the East Coast about, you know, reports therein of the last few days, which is, of course, just awful. And geez, the cricket was needed today. And then Alex Carey scores, one of the most emotional hundreds I've ever seen. And I was just thinking like, because you get to see his partner, his wife, Eloise,ise in the crowd tearing up and you're thinking, wouldn't it be nice in your life to do

something where your family cries other than like when your misses reads your texts,

you know, behind your back?

Sydney Sweeney, me.

You're in the shower.

Who's Sydney?

McSweeney.

And so, you know, it's been a hell of a day.

And we got to see True Blue, you know, Adelaide, all of it, and it was great.

And that was one of the worst batting performances I've seen this side put out in since whatever.

It was awful. It made me feel bad, but I do get a sweet little sugar hit at the end there thanks to Alex Carey who was put through hell let's be

honest about that he was put through hell and is just one of the nicest guys ever um that's my

summation of the day.

I've ridden the roller coaster,

but it's England's day, very much, England's day.

I love the way that you've said that, Higgas.

A nod to Kerry, flowers to Kerry,

hometown 100, emotional,

acknowledging late father celebration, Kerry.

And yet the Australian men's cricket team have missed the chance to bury the fuck out of England today.

And I, for one, unropable.
