*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[social]

Cook is shot. Good bumper but geez.

Cook is one of the best hookers in the world - gotta give the bowler credit for that dismissal as it was the perfect bouncer

The turn of last century.

So about 13 years ago.

"Joe Root's gotta do something here" unlikely imo

 

[uvelocity]

these boots were made for bowling and thats just what theyll do. one of these days these boots are gonna bowl all over you

 

[GIMH]

Remember how exciting Joe Root was when he daybooed? He's neutered by so many factors up at the top of the order and it could ruin him. He'll be the new old Bell at this rate.

But I've still not forgiven his dismissal yesterday so he can **** off

Saw him at Lords against New Zeland and he just looked like a test batsman. Root will be fine.

I wonder if the ECB will respond to the complaint I lodged with them this morning.

Might see spin on early here.

Yeah probably but he wasn't batting in a shell like this in the summer, at 6

 

[morgieb]

Root doesn't show enough intent IMO.

Reckon it's a shoe in.

Indeed. He's had a working over by a some fine bowlers and lost some confidence. Happens to every young player at some point. I don't think being shuffled up and down the order has helped. Nor have the situations he's been coming in at lately.

It's the shuffling I'm getting at really. We aren't letting him settle into a role. It's like early Bell, and the Aussies with Hughes.

clarke really putting the boot in with lyon on here

Turn

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Australia's next two assignments are away to RSA and then UAE. Interesting to see how Johnson will bowl in in both these different conditions.

These comms love their own work

Having said that, the more people that stick the boot into Morgan the better
