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

[Pothas]

It is all over for Starfighter.

 

[Starfighter]

Rats.

FFS England you ****s, I was all hyped up for what could have been a thrilling 2nd session today only to turn on to see it's almost over already. .

Has the pitch been playing up? I expected England were going to get the better of the conditions having the chance to score the 170 odd runs today before the lights come on in the evening,

So disappointing from a neutral perspective, I'd said prior to this match that this was the one Test if any I could see England getting up in with the random element of the lights and pink ball.... .

We have, only losing by 130 runs.

**** off Starc. Pathetic downhill skiing after bowling trash up front.

 

[GIMH]

Any chance of rain?

English tears

Drop Cook, Vince and Malan imo

Well quite. So what happened? Great bowling, poor batting, pitch playing up, or a combination of those things?

 

[Cabinet96]

5-fer **** off

 

[Starfighter]

Haha ****ing Starc's going to take 4-5 isn't he. Cricket can be so unfair.

A downhill skied five-for if ever I've seen one.

Drop Cook, Vince and Malan imo

Sounds all well and good, but for whom?

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

All of the above. All over, well played Oz. Not Starc though, ****.

 

[Starfighter]

The leading wicket taker for the series has been at most the fifth best bowler by my judgement. Cricket sucks balls sometimes.

 

[Cabinet96]

Imagine how well it could've gone for Australia if Steve Smith didn't make the worst leadership decision since Brexit.

 

[Warnest]

So expected Starc with a 5-for while going at 5 runs per over haha

 

[morgieb]

Starc taking a 5-fer is both hilarious and unfair. TBF he bowled much better with the new ball compared to the old one.

 

[Starfighter]

Part of me wants England to win, because I am ****ing sick of watching one sided series here, and I don't see them winning any other match. Another part of me thinks it'll be a damp squib and most or all of the remaining wickets will go down in the first session. Realistically I'd give England a 5% chance of winning at most.

Once again the cynical me is correct.

 

[mr_mister]

Sounds all well and good, but for whom?

Hameed, Balance and Foakes? Maybe Joss and Hales? Need to try something different god

 

[Zinzan]

It's hard not to smell a 5-0 scoreline now, weather permitting, innit?
