*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[91Jmay]

Doherty is like a club cricketer.

 

[Spark]

Get Doherty off please. Flat pies are as bad as they get.

Cook is just gobbling them up.

 

[Prince EWS]

sigh...pretty boring match. I hate flat pitches with a passion, and please Lawry stop praising the ****ing curator. How is it a magnificient job? Anyone can prepare a road....

Yeah Lawry really does love his roads. Always praises them.

 

[Prince EWS]

Doherty is like a club cricketer.

Well he literally was a club cricketer until pretty recently.

 

[Furball]

Cook to pass 5,000 Test runs this innings.

Only needs another 260.

 

[morgieb]

These pitches have been flat for years just you had a couple of geniuses in McGrath and Warne who could get wickets on anything. Imagine how good their averages would have been on sporting pitches.

They actually played a lot of cricket on decent pitches. Actually reckon McGrath might've done slightly worse as less cricketers would've gone after him.

 

[King Pietersen]

Keep Doherty going, this is buffet bowling.

 

[Xuhaib]

Mohammad Hafeez would get in to this Aus test team based on his ability to bowl spin

 

[flibbertyjibber]

On average watch .... Cook now over 46 and Trott 63.4

Doherty is dreadful. Loved Nasser just now "Doherty picked to get Pietersen out, trouble is they can't get him in."

 

[hazsa19]

England bowlers did alright with some tight bowling, a decent spinner, and good tactics.

The performance from bowlers, captain and fielders has been dross today.

I dont care though, we've put up with 20 years of this.

 

[Prince EWS]

Get North on. Time to unleash our best spinner.

 

[91Jmay]

What a take from BJ. He has developed into a top keeper/batsmen.

 

[Furball]

God these pitches are flat. World cricket needs an answer to combat these.

You're saying that like the pitch at Adelaide has never been flat.

 

[Spark]

Yeah at a minimum bowl 10 overs for 20

---

FOR ****'S SAKE

What is that, six in a row?

 

[91Jmay]

Kiss of death from me

I feel bad

 

[morgieb]

Bowl some short stuff. Could at least get some wickets.

 

[pskov]

Who was it saying Haddin was a better keeper than Prior? That was not a difficult chance. His second drop of the series too, neither of which have been that tricky.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Loved Nasser just now "Doherty picked to get Pietersen out, trouble is they can't get him in."

That's quote of the series for me. Gotta love Nasser!

 

[Furball]

What a take from BJ. He has developed into a top keeper/batsmen.

Gun call.

 

[morgieb]

You're saying that like the pitch at Adelaide has never been flat.

It probably wasn't flat a while, but yeah it's been dire for ages.

What really gets my gears is that they produce sporting pitches at Shield level, but flat one's for tests!
