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

[Starfighter]

No.

 

[Burgey]

Nope, but won’t matter. England won’t get within a hundred.

Smith seemed to rush that decision on the Root DRS; reckon Cummins wasn’t convinced by it.

Re: the Malan one I think it was another case of a batsman being so comprehensively beaten that it makes it look more out than it is.

Really enjoy watching Cummins bowl, such an asset that Oz can have him as first change.

Could be a turning point of the Test.

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned now. Probably irrationally so but I've felt for a while this was going to be England's Test.

malan bloody hell

This is peak Gambhiring.

Malan shutting down all systems another nail in the coffin of test cricket obvsly

 

[adub]

fair nuff, not losing on umps call is a better system

Yeah I don't mind it. It's a bad review when you know they've been going over the top all game if they're hitting anywhere above the knee roll.

 

[adub]

this.. <200 is still more than likely.

Get one and it could get ugly quick.

 

[adub]

Nah Chappelli not much padding there. That one would have hurt.

 

[harsh.ag]

Have people forgotten Bairstow exists

 

[Spark]

I've seen too many of these chases fall over with the chasing side in a way better position to this to think that England have anything but a very, very marginal chance. Even at 3/250 I'd feel Australia were one wicket away from rolling through.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Australia channeling Watto with that second review.

 

[Spark]

That's a brute

 

[Spikey]

anyone can miss Canada all tucked away down there

Unfortunately this is absolutely true. While Root is there I’m still hopeful however.

Well tbf the last two sides we saw sides chase sizable but not massive targets in Australia they both came quite close. Australia should be fine but the situation seems kinda set for a Root wtf style innings.

 

[ImpatientLime]

lol at people actually thinking england have a chance.

this will be your standard 1 equals 2 and england get rolled over for sub 200.

 

[morgieb]

Annoying game from Hazlewood, has been ruining some decent spells with a lot of filth later on.
