Test cricket. I love the cut & thrust. The patience needed.

After so many BBL matches, this is superb.

Skids, I understand your point. I'm always doing other things, whilst the cricket's on, in the daytime. eg: Out in the garden with the cricket volume up. With so many replays of either a wicket or a catch like Buttler's, I come back inside and watch for a while.

Fascinating watching Warner. With his early 'hit every second ball for six' attitude, and 'experts' doubting he could be a Test batsman, to today's half ton from 108 balls.

Warner 50*, Labu 25*. Both have faced 111 balls.

I enjoy test match cricket too. But not this 2 runs an over run rate business.

1/103 off 48 overs, I'll watch the 14 minutes of highlights tonight.

50 up for Labu. 156 balls.

1/122. Warner 61* (130).

Tea.

1/129. Warner 65*, Labu 53*,

Gutsy knock from Warner.

As Warne mentioned, "He has a pillow stuffed up under his shirt" I've had bruised ribs. Not fun.

1/171.

Warner 90*, Labu 70*.
