After losing 3/81 in a 32 over first session packed with effective spin bowling, Australia recovered with 1/91 in just 26 overs against the new ball. At Adelaide, there's every chance the older ball might do more damage, but I'm really surprised it didn't reverse swing, considering the close up pictures of the cratered red orb shown by the broadcast. I suppose not every bowler is a master of it, but maybe they need to get some spin in a bit earlier and then have some time for pace in the 40-80 over region.
Clarke looks good, but they need some acceleration. Clarke and North are both inclined to just take what they're given and not any extra; if it comes to Haddin and Johnson to play whirlwind knocks and ensure a first innings lead with time left, I am not sure if the charge will come too late.
