    So the first test has started with England winning the toss.

    First hour and 20 minutes England are 4 for 34. Great start for the Australians!! :D :D

    ^ Cricket is similar to baseball, as it's a sport with a bat and ball. Test matches go for 5 days (think of it as five days of drinking beer). It's the oldest form of the game. Each team has two innings.

    Anyways day 2 ends with Australia 7 for 343, with a lead of 196 runs over England, with three more days to play in the first test.

    Tomorrow they will announce where the 5th and final test shall be, as cause of Perth's covid restrictions - they are losing the test. According to the media today, Hobart will get it (which is great as they never had an Ashes test)
