[Spark]

for ****'s sake

**** good ball that. Went from being a good day for us to a pretty meh one.

 

[adub]

couple of damn good balls from Perera there.

 

[Starfighter]

That isn't going to help things.

 

[weldone]

SL easily on top (considering they'll bowl last)

Hope the rain keeps away

About an even day in reality, but I feel like Sri Lanka might be happier given Aussie's weakness against spin.

 

[Black_Warrior]

I feel like there's one massive century from Steve Smith this series..

Yeah, Khawaja looked pretty inept at times out there. Add that Warner's in the pavillion and....

Need a big innings from Smith, he's by the most comfortable out there.

Whenever I've seen Starc in red ball cricket he bowls some of the worst pies you will ever see followed up by unplayable stuff. Doesn't really seem to matter what form he is in, consistent inconsistency.

I've always felt Starc's problem in red ball ball cricket was a lack of a stock nothing ball. Tends to bowl unplayable stuff or absolute garbage.

 

[turnstyle]

You'd think Reid would be the one he'd have forgotten. But no, it's always Davidson.

Because I was born in the last 100 years

 

[Gob]

Smith or bust

I think this was him early on, when he used to pitch it up to get swing but sometimes couldn't find any and just got driven all the time. He'd then try to pull his length back and bowl garbage in the process.

These days he's better at bowling short of a length and he can ramp up the pace as well.

 

[andruid]

Starc coming good I presume.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Seems like a good days cricket, one to get up early for tomorrow.

 

[Adders]

Yeah. This is test cricket heaven atm. Get about 5 hours of this test and then England starts........****ing awesome!!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Isn't it a record if we get each current test to go the distance, something like 34 days test cricket in a row.

Fantastic and they all providing good entertainment too.

Vice captain and well known published author David Warner need not get to the ground early for a day two net. Will be working on chapter seven of his latest tome instead.

Still kicking, and starring in ads every so often.
