***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[TNT]

The pitch report sounds really worrying if true.I'll be very annoyed if people bag out the declaration decision because of this.

People are going to bag out the declaration regardless of what happens, you only need look at how people still bag him out for not making england follow on in Adelaide even though they are wrong.

Water getting through the covers overnight is considered village at club level ffs.

Associations have made home teams forfeit points for similar things.

2-1 with Starc injured would certainly bring some life back into the series...

What's wrong with Starc?

 

[Daemon]

****s sake I'll never win LMS at this rate

 

[morgieb]

What's wrong with Starc?

Bruised heel.

Depends what you focus on, over here village level is when your fast bowlers only bowl 130km/h

Also Andrew McGlashan's tweet was great.
RE: Starc's ball yesterday.

Can we really say how unplayable that ball to Vince was without knowing where Steven Smith would have hit it for four? #ashes

 

[stephen]

Bruised heel.

Probably got it kicking the covers off overnight.

 

[Tangles]

The video of the cover blowing off is dire. Work experience kids cause it's the last test? The leaf blowers won't work. Go West Indian and light it on fire I say.

 

[Daemon]

Bring in a helicopter

Listening to radio coverage of the covers being put on now, apparently the groundstaff seem pretty inept in terms of all aspects of handling this.

 

[Burgey]

Just play on ffs. Everyone always saying pitches are like ***** - too bland, and that they want to go back to uncovered decks. Here you ****ing go then.

Windspeeds 37-50km/h

 

[Starfighter]

Nice to see we're still stuck in the seventies when it still comes to pitch covering.

 

[Spark]

Would leaf blowers really do anything? Surely a hairdryer would work better.

Hairdryer would apply heat. Blowers aid evaporation. Not that there is a lack of wind.

 

[Spikey]

A fitting end to this **** ground. Ban cricket in WA until 2022

 

[Son Of Coco]

England don't deserve this reprieve. Hopefully this doesn't end with the ****ers kissed squarely on the dick.

Edit: How is 'dick' not censored, but *** is?

I'll be very annoyed if people bag out the declaration decision because of this.

But if Smith declared 60 runs ahead, we would have bowled them out for 58. That's how cricket works.

Enjoying these highlights from four years ago, especially how TPC’s set up is so different now but he’s actually precisely the same at release now as he was when he used to stand still.

Also, Carbs was under rated.
