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

[adub]

though iirc the Saffers did pull of a long blockathon a few years ago.

Even if we skittle the Aussies for 100 it would be foolish to think we'll then go score 300 to win. Aussies have got this.

Against Siddle, Hilf and Lyno 1.0 after Patto broke down in the first innings. Won't be happening this time.

Australia already have plenty of runs. But it's nice to give the Pommy fans something to cheer for on their way to a whitewash.

dunno if this has already been posted, but this was some fine work from someone with too much time on their hands

Prefer the Kohli one but this one's good too.

 

[adub]

You forgot Geelong Burgs

 

[straw man]

Man I love these. Leverock's was the best.

Pretty good how he zooms around in space in his whites

Tom Blundell walks around Wellington in his.

Lyon's was a regulation catch.

Starc's was impressive

It'll be nice to add to Aus' scores of under 100. Has there been a test playing nation with more under 100 scores in the past 10 years?

Did you not read this part or did you just feel like being a dick?

[adub]

I was essentially agreeing with you Adders. No need to be a dick about it.

 

[Tangles]

Aussies probably already have enough on the board. 1 good session is good for the fans but shouldn't worry Smith.

Tom Blundell walks around Wellington in his.

I'm guessing thierry is a Wellington local.

I know he just made his debut, but NZ must be rather chilled towards their sports folk for Tom to have the guts to walk about like that.

 

[Starfighter]

In fairness, it's not like most of NZ would know a test cricketer if they saw one.

There’s a battle thread in cricket chat about them

Somebody asked for this yesterday,

3rd Test, Australia tour of South Africa at Durban, Jan 20-24 1950 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo

I researched this and believe it is the only such instance unless you include the forfeited Cronje-Hussain farce.

(And you also have the three actual ''following-on victories'', all three versus Australia: England, 1894 and 1981 and India 2001).

 

[Cow]

The cronje/hussain test and the pakistan test in sydney should be removed from test records

 

[S.Kennedy]

Lord's 2010 also, Amir's No Baller Test.

Just seen that first Smith DRS decision against Anderson. No way on Christopher Hitchens' green earth was that not out
