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

[Spark]

Feeling more confident with my call that 300 is a very decent score on this deck.

 

[Starfighter]

Anderson starting off too short again.

 

[Burgey]

Haze will be calling for a declaration here.

 

[Burgey]

Feeling more confident with my call that 300 is a very decent score on this deck.

Feeling more confident with mine that Australia was a mile in front at stumps day one.

 

[morgieb]

Paine looks really unconvincing here. Like he's jabbing and nurdling at everything.

 

[Starfighter]

Batting at night is not as difficult as the chicken littles say? Nooooooo.

 

[stephen]

Has shown enough to at least give him the full series. I see him getting a ton somewhere down the line

Nah he deserves to be dropped. Played like this all throughout the winter. Got a start then got out without going on.

I honestly don't care about technique if you're making runs. Handscomb isn't making runs and he's been worked out by Broad here.

 

[Cabinet96]

Ffs was starting to celebrate in my head.

 

[Spark]

Shaun Marsh is a very odd cricketer

 

[Cabinet96]

That will probably be the last full ball of the morning now.

 

[Gnske]

Godly batting, supreme. Absolutely delicious

 

[Starfighter]

Anderson, the world's best swing bowler, refuses to pitch the ball up so it... swings.

 

[Adders]

Ffs jimmy pitch the ****ing thing up.

 

[Spark]

This is dire from Anderson.

 

[stephen]

I think slightly back of the length is the perfect place for Anderson to bowl.

But then I want Australia to win.

 

[Gnske]

B-but he bowled so good in India once! He's totally an overseas bowler!

 

[Daemon]

Feeling more confident with my call that 300 is a very decent score on this deck.

tbf at times Broad can make it seam like that when no one else is moving it off the straight, so while obviously this isn't a flat deck, its not something where 300 is a par first innings score imo. Australia should be happy if they make 300 without a major Smith contribution though.

 

[morgieb]

This is junk from Anderson.

 

[stephen]

Hard to believe that this man just took a gazillion wickets at under 15 this winter.

That ball went for 4, but at least it was pitched up and swung. Wide outside off isn't the right line though.

 

[Spark]

This is really good cricket
