It's worse in England IMO
Wait...you're being serious? If that's true then things have changed since I was there. Maybe it's climate change.

We've had 90% humidity here in Brisbane at times during the past couple of months. And it's winter. Been pretty wet.

Anderson is the best bowler in this series, especially at home, but I actually think Australia's attack is far more even than England's. I know Broad can be devastating, but he is hot and cold and Finn is very much a work in progress. Yesterday, every Aussie bowler was all over the batsmen. Hasn't been the case so far here, and it's one area in this series where I reckon we have an edge.
Yeah it's hard to argue on the evidence of this match. I would definitely take Anderson over everyone else and Broad over Starc or Siddle but Finn is by far the worst bowler on show and sometimes that's more important.

Sometimes it's not how your best players go, but how your weakest three or four blokes do.

Long way to go here, mind.

Odd, the bookies have Australia as huge favourites but the comms are acting like it'd be a real surprise if they get the win.

Can confirm that today was definitely a shorts and light weight jumper sort of day.

Really liked our start, can't remember the last time our opening partnership was this high..

the sun is much worse in Aus, I found the humidity unrelenting in England, the hot days felt up to 3-4 degrees hotter while I was there, I sweated like a pig playing cricket there. I am from Melbourne, but have been up north, still think England (in the height of summer only obviously) has more unrelenting and energy sapping humidity than Australia.
