Australia v Pakistan – SCG Test: Call for writers

The Test summer ends in Sydney, with Australia 2-0 Pakistan.

Pakistan incredibly almost snatching that epic run chase in Brisbane.
Australia incredibly winning by an innings after all the rain and after Pakistan made 9d/443 in their first innings in Melbourne.

After Sydney, the next Test cricket played by Australia will be in India: 23 February, Pune.

 

As is usual, this is a call for writers, observers of Test cricket, whether viewing from the SCG or not, to nominate a day and write about it.

Note: Citrus Bob, stalwart of Test cricket correspondence, will not be around after Day 1. It’s time to step up.

    What sort of poetry are you hoping for?

  2. G’day Alex,
    Poetry, I reckon Alex, like Test cricket, has a beauty that some appreciate more than others.
    There must be some sweet spot that exists at the nexus of them both.

    Step right up, step right up.
