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

[Adders]

You are ****ing kidding me.

 

[adub]

Jimmy Anderson.

Not a fan of DRS.

 

[harsh.ag]

Hahaha the curse of Jimmeh

 

[Cabinet96]

Gee that didn't look as out as the previous one

Yeah I'm amazed he gave that just after the Smarsh one was shown to be going over.

Lol this one looks closer.

 

[Spark]

This is hilarious

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh he's hit it haha.

 

[harsh.ag]

Good theater this. Jimmy turning it on!

 

[morgieb]

This is hilarious

Yeah I can't stop laughing here.

 

[Spark]

Honestly though that second one is a horrible decision. You already know it's bouncing a bit when Anderson is bowling, why would you give it when it's hit the thigh pad?

 

[3703]

Too short Jim. Bowl fuller.

 

[Dan]

Gee that didn't look as out as the previous one

Yeah, I think Marsh's stride was a little deceptive in the first one - the area it hit him was far more conventional for an LBW. Smarsh also has a couple of inches of height on Paine, too.

 

[Burgey]

As I used to say to my opening bowlers when I was captain, “Pitch it up, stupid”.

 

[Cabinet96]

Hit that as well I think.

 

[Starfighter]

No.

 

[stephen]

This is why DRS is so important.

The right decision is far more important to the outcome than who can bully the umpires better.

 

[morgieb]

This is amazing.

 

[harsh.ag]

Such beautiful movement!

Gotta pitch a bit fuller here.

 

[Adders]

Kissed on the dick by a fairy these ****s.

 

[Spark]

Yeah this is way too short. None of these are hitting the stumps.

 

[Dan]

I don't think Anderson is bowling *that* short. Looks more-or-less like his natural length, it's just this pitch is genuinely bouncing. On an English deck those two reviewed shouts hit just below the bails IMO.

Obviously he needs to adjust to the conditions and he should be held accountable for that, but I don't think he's bowling egregiously short wrt the two close shouts.
