***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

[Cow]

In Australia, is this test shown on the internet anywhere for free, such as the TV is? I broke my TV and now only have the PC to turn to until I get of my arse and go buy another one.

There's lots of small river sites that are showing the BT sport or Channel 9 feed. Not sure I'm allowed to post links due to forum rules... but tomorrow you're welcome to PM me.

Anderson has complained that the Australian bowling is dangerous.

 

[Burgey]

Australian cricketers are behaved extraordinarily immaturely since the end of the Brisbane test. He's a great batsmen, but Steve Smith is not a leader of men in the same way Border and Waugh were. Not a man to follow out of the trenches.

You don’t follow TPC out of the trenches. He’s the artillery barrage which provides cover for everyone else.

Not for free, but if you get a CA live pass it’s streamed on their site. It’s pretty cheap for 12 months’ access to home international and domestic feeds.

Anderson has complained that the Australian bowling is dangerous.

TNT, you're a click baiter's dream.

The story actually is Anderson mentioned to the umpire that Starc had just bowled 5 bouncers in a row at a number 10/11. Umpire said it was ok.

On the BBC radio feed they were saying the last one should have been no-balled and all the Aussie-raaalians on cricketweb were criticising starc for wasting deliveries bowling at a terrible batsmen's head rather than the stumps.

I know you're not still reading my post as you tend only to read the headlines so I will just stop typing now.

No-one likes a Bombardier. Nothing more frustrating than having a conversation with someone who is partially deaf.

I tend to agree with him, are the english batsmen equipped to handle short pitched bowling, should the ICC step in and prevent bowlers from bowling bouncers to the english batsmen before someone gets hurt.

“I mentioned it to umpire Marais Erasmus, but he didn’t think it was too bad,” Anderson told the BBC.

”I don’t know what constitutes dangerous bowling. It’s the umpire’s personal take on it.

”I was batting with Jake (Ball) in the second innings and he got bowled two short balls from (Pat) Cummins that went over the shoulder.

”There was a third very close and wasn’t given and I questioned when does it get dangerous.

Root was offended by Smith's laughter during the post-match conference apparently...

Root on Smith laughter: 'If that's not motivation, I don't know what is' - ESPNcricinfo

If we look past the fact he was laughing at how Bancroft went about telling the story, rather than the incident itself, and then concoct some outrage, it may well be something that can be used to motivate the English team.

It just gets better and better. Does Georgie Boy actually get paid by Cricinfo or does he pay his own way to stalk the England cricketers?

Yes, he questioned it on the field which he is entitled to do.

This tour seems very helter-skelter. Usually takes until after the third test for the Poms to bring out the siege mentality.

TPC will be thrilled his opponent is still thinking about the quality trolling rather than the next test.

Agreed. It is looking like a 4 or 5 nil win for Aus unless Root gets going or Stokes comes back.

I wonder what Richard Dawkins makes of all this.

 

[Burgey]

I certainly don’t mind the idea of Anderson having a crack back at Australia’s tail enders. If you give it out you have to be prepared to take it, frankly.

Ask him on twitter and I guarantee a reply

Cricket Australia and Aus media taking a leaf out of the book of the alt-right media organisations by running a fake news campaign against the English cricket team. Disappointing to see this happening.

Is Woakes a thug? Australia continue fake news campaign | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

There's winning and then there's winning with grace, honesty and humility.

I never want to hear an Australian talk about 'the spirit of cricket' ever again.

Considering Anderson has played 179 innings he must be used to bouncers. It's all he ever gets. Only injury I can remember was a fractured rib in the 2nd Test in Australia from Siddle. Broad had his nose broken by Varun Aaron.

You would be a great poster if you could get over your nationally-biased mentality. It really ruins your shtick for me

Hahahahaha Dobell is such a ****ing embarrassment

 

[Burgey]

As Rob noted on Twitter, if Anderson wants to complain about bullying he shouldn’t throw the ball at Bancroft’s ****.

 

[CricAddict]

Agreed. It is looking like a 4 or 5 nil win for Aus unless Root gets going or Stokes comes back.

I wonder what Richard Dawkins makes of all this.

The way Stokes is being talked about would feel he is the next Bradman. Even if he comes back, not sure what his state of mind would be and if he can produce the required runs or wickets to turn the series around.
