Australia V India from my archives.
The Australia V India test match at Adelaide oval is in it's second day.
Australia now batting.
This is a repost from 2008.
Not too many still playing now. In fact only Ishant Sharma.
Ishant Sharma was on his first tour of Australia
"Today in Melbourne the famous Boxing day test match started between India and Australia.
It is at an interesting stage at stumps with things much in the balance. Australia will have to score well tomorrow morning with the tail-enders to stay in the game in my opinion.Newcomer Ed Cowan did very well with 68 runs. I hope to get to the Adelaide test match when they play here soon. I was at the Test in Adelaide the last time India played in Australia.
I have included some photos from that match. A highlight being a century by the now retired Matthew Hayden.

Australia's newest Sports Star
Ashton Agar is Australia's newest cricket star who was relatively unknown to most cricket fans before his first and current test match.
Read below on how the ABC reported his amazing first innings which broke some records.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-12/watch-highlights-from-ashton-agars-record-ashes/4815582
I had fun using my slr camera to photograph my TV screen of the innings.
A good way of practising sports photography from your armchair.
PS.
Since all this hapenned Ashton has been out of the limelight as he did not make a big impression in the next match. Hopefully he will work his way through all that after such an exciting start.

Australia v South Africa-Adelaide Oval
Today was day 1 of the Adelaide Oval test match between South Africa and Australia.
The first of 3 games was drawn in Brisbane.
This is the second match in the series.
Australia started well and looked to be in control then they lost Cowan,Quiney and Ponting in a very short time.
Dave Warner was batting in his usual aggressive style while the wickets went.
With Michael Clarke's arrival at the crease and a disaster for South Africa(Kallis pulled a hammy), Australia immediately went back on the offensive.
Warner went on to score a century before getting out then Mr. Cricket,Mike Hussey, joined Clarke.
Together they amassed a huge total by stumps.
Ponting on 224 not out and Hussey out on what became the last ball of the day for 103 .
A great days cricket if you were Australian.
Australia will bat on tomorrow and declare or be dismissed with a formidable total.
All phootos taken ona Pentax KX Digital SLR.There has been no editing or enhancing.
I also took a few frames on my Pentax Super A Film Camera for the fun of it.
They will be published at a later date.Maybe!
