BARNES OUT
David Warner scoring 300 was a national tragedy.
Celsius, Fahrenheit or runs?with a maximum of 28.
ffs was just about to make thisCelsius, Fahrenheit or runs?
Nah don't agree with any of this. Just bat better. And the bowling will rarely be that good. I'm very happy with the wicket.Not convinced Adelaide has the preparation for the pink ball games sorted. Yes the Aussie bowling was great and India basically nicked all of them, but everything came off that wicket with such a zing and moved just enough. If you think just a little movement is more dangerous than exaggerated movement, especially so when that movement is late and quick, then India were caught in the xhairs. I don't think any team would really expect that on a third day. They didn't seem to panic so much as resign to their fate it looked to me. I don't think you can Pujara your way out of those conditions. Maybe you could Pant your way out but he wasn't selected. So who knows but still unlikely. The collapse was always a possibility though the extent of it a surprise. So Adelaide - cut the grass and watch a million runs or leave it on and finish inside 3 days.
Yeah look I get it that jingoism wont allow any stain on the great Aussie bowling performance oi oi oi but Adelaide's pitches have been pretty extreme.Nah don't agree with any of this. Just bat better. And the bowling will rarely be that good. I'm very happy with the wicket.
Don't project, that has nothing to do with anything. I was actually thinking more of the first 2 innings, where plenty of the wickets were thrown away and better batting efforts could easily have yielded 300+ scoresYeah look I get it that jingoism wont allow any stain on the great Aussie bowling performance oi oi oi
tbf both teams were lucky to get what they did in the first dig. India had tons of plays and misses and some catches falling short and going to no mans land while Australia should've been all out for 100 if the catches were taken.Don't project, that has nothing to do with anything.

Yeah, still a fair bit of that comes down to some loose batting though, and both bowling sides were exceptional. Test cricket should be testing the batsmen, it shouldn't be like T20s and you can just hit everything through the line. I'd be very annoyed if the reaction to this game is a classic Roadelaide wicket next year.tbf both teams were lucky to get what they did in the first dig.
