*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[social]

I'm reliably informed the Adelaide Oval has short square boundaries but is longer down the ground.

This, in turn, justifies its tagging as an oval.

Cant believe that they have spent a lazy half bill on the joint and still left it shaped like a gherkin

FMD, its not as if they had any constraints

 

[Riggins]

That a joke?

Coota-Nile, along with Dougeh, on stand by for Perth.

Coota.

Really.

They're havin' a laugh.

 

[Spikey]

i thought you liked Cotta

 

[benchmark00]

As an option in t20's yeah, like how I like Forkers in t20's.

 

[NUFAN]

Kilt-Nile has good foam at the ground. No one will dare stroak him in covers.

clarke was ruled out, watson was forced to captain iirc and he finished day 5 on 550* because he didn't want to declare

Why?

The Victorian one spent a fair while not deteriorating as much as what it had before the drop-in.

 

[benchmark00]

SACA ****s are idiots for putting red seats behind the arm ftr.

Yeah but there's no real reason for that.

And it's never hot enough in Melbourne for it to break up tbf.

When he was in the 90's, he successfully reviewed a LBW shout that Bresnan had been given. A good win for Watson.

POTY

 

[Spark]

Yeah but there's no real reason for that.

Doesn't look like it'll be particularly warm in this Test either.

 

[Riggins]

raining atm.

I'm a bit east of Adelaide now and it's dry here.
