PERTH: It is unusually cold here for late October. Perth is famous for the Freemantle Doctor, the cooling afternoon sea breeze which is strongest in December and January and likes to influence Test-match sessions at the stadium. On this day it's a different wind, one with a serrated edge to it, which adds to the chill factor and makes everyone rush for their hoodies.
