*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Tangles]

Monty seems an ok selection with the pitch so far. They just didnt want to risk Bres. Stokes over Ballance seems more of a blind punt. I get the balance aspect but Woakes didn't work in a similar experiment.

ben stokes still hasn't bowled

Lucky. Those seem to get given a lot these days.

GF to rage.

 

[Spikey]

geeeeee

 

[MW1304]

turn there is

 

[Riggins]

Agree with Ian Chappell that mid on should not be on the fence. I'd be doing anything I could to make this feel like it's not a one day game for Watto.

Lucky boy - cant complain if those are given

Rogers looks so ordinary against spin

 

[grecian]

and that's the time to give up and go to bed......

watson moves to 25. where is the wagon wheel ch9?

 

[morgieb]

Looked out live, Rogers quite lucky.

 

[morgieb]

Good to see these guys being able to rotate the strike.

I was more meaning that its weakened the batting because they felt the need for an all rounder with the 2nd spinner.

was thinking that but wanna see the ginger one. seem to have given up on capitalisation

its all the spikey clones yuck

 

[Burgey]

Think Cook has missed a trick with the field quite well spread here. These are the two blokes least likely to rotate the strike with the field up. Rogers in particular doesn't look at all happy against spin.

The deep square leg for Swann when bowling to Rogers is a complete waste IMO as it would have to be a rank bad ball for him to get it out there

That LBW was just plain out. No idea how hawkeye said that wasn't smacking them all down.

 

[Riggins]

Looks gentle.
