Losing but improving
So far, the Australian team has transcended some of the expectations of cricket fans. Coming into the series, everyone had Michael Clarke and company has huge underdogs that are likely to embarrass themselves, similar to what happened during the India tour just a few months ago.
In recent years, much criticism of the Australian team has been about discipline and resiliency in face of tough competition. In the first three days of the first test, the team has already disproved the notion.
You could argue that it’s too early to make a verdict, but after day three wherein the Australian team had a bad day, it’s easy to see the new attitude of the team.
Day 3 Recap
During the first two days of test, both teams were in equal footing with neither one having displayed significant advantage over the other. However, the flow of the game changed in the day 3 as the English team was able to pull ahead due to an impressive inning by Ian Bell. The day ended with England being ahead with 261 runs. The recent development has made the English team the favorite to win the series.
