Adelaide test records: Adelaide cricket stadium has played host to 67 tests since it was first used in 1877. The ground’s largest crowd for a Test match came during the 1938 Ashes series when 46,000 people saw English batsman Len Hutton score 364 runs against Australia.
This remains the highest individual score in Test cricket at the Adelaide Oval. The ground’s record Test victory margin is an innings and 360 runs, set by Australia against England in 1902. The highest team total at Adelaide Oval is 658/8 declared by Australia against India in 2003. The lowest team total is 36 by England against Australia in 1902.
The pitch is expected to favour the bowlers in the first few days and it will be a good test match for batsmen as well. The second day of this match will be played on Sunday, December 6. However, no formal announcement has been made by Cricket Australia about playing on Sunday yet. The team management had informed players that they are entitled to play their professional commitments over their obligation to national duty during the week-long break between the Perth and Adelaide Tests but said CA expects them to make themselves available whenever possible.
Smith was scheduled to return from his break at around midday (1300 GMT) while Warner’s return time was unclear after he arrived back in Sydney late Friday night following an appearance at an All Stars Twenty20 game where he took 2-15 off three overs.:
