Then adelaide

Scott Boland: Australia fast-bowler Scott Boland said he feels in a really good spot after having played enough cricket to now be ready for leaving a mark in the upcoming second Test against India at Adelaide. Boland is a big favourite to play in Adelaide after fast-bowler Josh Hazlewood was ruled out due to side strain.

"Obviously I haven't played a heap of cricket in the start of this season, but I feel like I've played enough cricket to feel like I'm in a really good spot. My body's feeling really good now. I had a couple of niggles that were a little bit sore, but knee and foot are feeling really good and I'm confident how the ball's coming out."

"Our last net session in Perth was for me and Josh Inglis, we went pink ball for quite a few overs. So getting it in the hand then and then obviously the overs we can get in probably tomorrow by the look of this weather will be valuable as well.”
