2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[Gob]

Don't know this level of attrition is required by Marnus

 

[ashley bach]

Warner’s looked pretty rubbish both tests but is compiling a decent body of work this series

seems like he's grittier and more determined than usual.

he's out for redemption

 

[Burgey]

England don’t deserve to win after that drop

I would refuse to stand for them

 

[ashley bach]

you certainly can't help but get that feeling.

Looks like he's still in Gabba mode, playing with soft hands and refusing to drive despite there only being one slip in place on a sluggish pitch. The risk is if he gets out about now the middle order will have a tough time starting at dusk.

He absolutely has to be there for the last session if Aus wants to build a decent total

People drop catches. Get over it

There is no luck component to taking a straight forward catch or not. It is pure skill when you catch it and pure mistake when it goes down.

So would Voges if he were in the crowd

while this is true, the argument comes about whether a catch is straight forward or not.

 

[Pothas]

Labuschagne please just go away.

The English have beaten the bat 8 or 9 times
Some days things just don’t come off

 

[Burgey]

Outfield seems a bit slow. Maybe not a lot of sweet timing going on.

Everyone apart from Broad has bowled too short.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

One of the catches of the summer. It is only the 2nd match of the summer Warnie

 

[Spark]

we’ll see what happens in 90 mins or so but this really doesn’t look a pitch where you’d want 5 takes on rfm as your frontline attack to me

 

[ashley bach]

commentators on guerilla cricket just said Steve Smith as captain again, what the f...

 

[thierry henry]

For me all the bowlers have looked reasonably dangerous and plenty of balls have seamed even as the ball has gotten old. Just a lack of luck/bowling slightly too short/getting distracted by other tactics

 

[Starfighter]

Everyone apart from Broad has bowled too short.

I think Anderson's length has been okay, suppose it could be little bit fuller. Robinson has certainly been too short.

Labuschagne alone has played and missed 11 times. He just seems to be immune to nicking it.
