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

[quincywagstaff]

I know the ball has been swinging a lot, but reckon Oz could’ve been a bit more aggressive in this innings. If they’re going to inch along at 2 an over then they might as well have sent England back in.

Round the wicket looking for a big in-hooping lbw

 

[adub]

Not if you don't lose it!

Yeah was less dead than I thought. Not right up with the change, but have long argued for it.

 

[Spark]

How much has DRS taken the excitement out of lbw wickets? You're always wondering if they review it or not, then if it's still out or not etc.

Not missing the excitement of an LBW given off the inside edge though

The fact that Anderson has bowled 10 overs already is a little victory in itself.

 

[Furball]

Not sure I agree with the batting side retaining a review when it's umpire's call.

It just makes the case for robot umpires even stronger.

Warner at least should have been a bit more aggressive in hindsight

 

[adub]

Good length. **** it makes a difference.

Huh this is interesting now

zero percent

 

[morgieb]

Hmmm this might be interesting now. Still even a lead of 320-330 should be enough.

Handscomb needs to score runs here.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Might be worth declaring now and seeing if we can wrap it up by stumps.

 

[StephenZA]

Oooh!... excitement.

 

[Son Of Coco]

With the ball doing a lot Handscomb's chances of scoring runs are hovering somewhere between zero and none.

 

[SeamUp]

Handscomb had to come in at a similar time in Australia's 1st innings and did all the hard worked and f***ed it over early next day.

 

[quincywagstaff]

I presume he’s trying to put a higher price on his wicket but if there was ever a time to be his usual aggressive self, it was when they have a 200+ lead.

Scoring 14 off 60 and leaving lots of deliveries he’d usually attack seemed a pointless measure.

 

[Spark]

Handscomb had to come in at a similar time in Australia's 1st innings and did all the hard worked and f***ed it over early next day.

In fairness, England didn't get the new ball until the very last over of the day. So first up the next day was arguably the toughest time to bat.

 

[Starfighter]

That's dead surely. Or maybe not. By an unfairly fine margin.

 

[adub]

Now Jimmy's keen to play
