It's the same discussion every single year at the Adelaide Oval. When are people going to learn what the AO is?

It's a flat flat deck for the first 2-3 days, then it starts taking extensive spin later on in the match. Couple that with the fact that the nature of the pitch means it scuffs the ball up quicker, meaning reverse swing is very common, means there is almost always a result late in the game.

But it's still just flat. I'm not seeing really big spin or reverse swing here. I'm seeing a very flat fifth day wicket.

dead set last time warner was thumped like that was when he was on the wing for randwick boys

It'd be hilarious if I had to taste the same thing twice though.

You're not seeing big spin?

Are you watching the same game?

Nevermind, Wade just proved he is a dick. Faf just pushed the ball to Wade with his bat to save him the walk, and Wade, the cheeky bastard he is flicked it with his heel towards the stumps in hope of run out, and then has a cheeky look back at the crease to see how close he was.....

This, and being village with a possible roll at the stumps has come back in the wicketkeeping form of karma. Boom.

It's obviously turning a little bit, but I certainly wouldn't say it was "extensive spin".

I would. Lyon doesn't spin and bounce it this much normally at all, as much as you love him.

 

[Ruckus]

It's not even close to extensive spin.

 

[benchmark00]

lol Ruckus talking cricket.

 

[Ruckus]

What sport were you talking about?

 

[NUFAN]

These are the exact sort of situations when you need to pick your best keeper. I mean Wade's batting has left a lot to be decided this series and he is dropping routine edges that the likes of Healy, Seccombe, Hartley and Gavin Fitness would have taken with consummate ease.

In summary Wade out.

Why is Wade standing up to Hilf?
