Dear God.

Holy ****!

On the roof.

 

[Jono]

Calling it now, Australia are ****ed.

Will be happy to be proven wrong and quoted etc., but this pitch isn't offering enough. Feeling a draw here.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, was I dreaming or did hear Tony Greig make reference to Adelaide city in the background?

 

[Prince EWS]

Shouldn't that be better for batsmen, assuming the bounce is even (which it seems to be from what I've read)?

Well I think it makes it easier for batsmen to score, but equally I think it makes it easier for the bowlers to take genuine wickets if they bowl well. I think a pitch like this promotes generally much better cricket overall than a similar yet slower/lower one, but I'd still like to see a bit more lateral movement.

 

[Zinzan]

That's mental, he almost seemed slightly beaten in the flight on that one

Ducked out for a walk and a coffee at tea, seemed Gayle's teed off in the meantime. What a six!

Think the wicket isn't that flat to be honest. Really terrible bowling particularly from Johnson. Gayle has looked vulnerable on occasions and clueless against some of the more fullish balls outside off.

That there is why Perth is so hard for spinners. Plenty of decent spinners have played for WA but the pitch is so hard and flat, someone beaten in flight can still get a reasonable amount of wood on the ball and it still goes the journey. The amount a bowler spins the ball seems irrelevant. Like batting on matting.

EDIT: Top ton by Gayle. Gee he's batted well.

 

[duffer]

Awesome, just awesome.

 

[pasag]

Amazing ton.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Chris Gayle...awesome stuff!

 

[roseboy64]

And the ton comes up with a six.

 

[Zinzan]

Magnificentay

 

[roseboy64]

5th fastest Test century.

 

[Sir Alex]

Fantastic century there by Gayle!

 

[Jarquis]

Haha, Chris Gayle WAG.

 

[Jono]

Lol that is soft!

 

[pasag]

lolololol

lamest dismissal of the series by a wide margin.
