*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[benchmark00]

Noticeable absence of the Magnus Effect today.

played.


Look to grind here bois.

 

[Prince EWS]

What would Sammy's average at the SSC be?

Sangakkara - 79.96
Samaraweera - 77.43
Jayawardene - 77.08

Given that was the middle order for what seemed like an entire generation, it's not a ground you'd love to play at as a touring bowler. In a handful of Tests each, Mathews averages over 100 there and Prasanna Jayawardene averages 50 too. Good luck.

I'm surprised England haven't just tried to bowl a few overs where they just run their fingers across every ball and bowl stump to stump, hoping to break the surface and get on to stay low.

Mark Nicholas nominates Virat Kohli for the "best batsman in the world" game. His first nomination too.

K.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Does anyone have a better record at one particular ground than Clarke does at Adelaide?

In terms of averages alone, Tugga at Headingley is pretty peerless.

 

[benchmark00]

What about the worlds premier wicket keeper batsman's record at Adelaide?

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, very relevant to his claim on the World's Best Batsman title.

It was the send-off that was aimed at you, not his bowling.

Yikes, that makes the ARG look like a greentop!

Doesn't have an average. Batted once, hit 27*

(Haddin averages 140 in 5 Tests)

Nom nom nom nom.

Haha, I like/rate Kohli. It was obviously silly though. I guess he's taking ODIs into account.. in a big way.. or just completely mixing up his achievements.

You know damn well Nicholas mentioned Kohli because he wants to boof him.


No shame in that.

 

[benchmark00]

You mean when he's not injured? Yeah cricketers usually do.

 

[Prince EWS]

Great shot.

Gavaskar still doesn't understand what the fuss is about.
