2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

Oath. I was expecting a T20 innings this morning. All out for 150 in 20-25 overs, you'd have taken that over this

i don't think a t20 innings but a bit of #intent really wouldn't be amiss

Quality Woakes.

I saw that tweet about 4 years of planning went down the drain when England played the same attack here again as 2017. But surely the one person who should take more blame that what he seems to be getting is Joe Root. His handling of Archer, Stokes very definitely led to their injuries IMO. The guy loves bowling his seamers to the dust. He really has questions to answer. /Burgey.

Still clearly Australia ahead but they’re within Headingley/Brisbane margins. Probably one partnership should be enough to make it unwinnable for England though, especially give there’s much less time than Headingley.

Fleming once again proves he's absolutely clueless when it comes to telling whether a bowler is side-on or chest-on. And considering that's one of the simplest things in fast bowling mechanics, think about how bad his knowledge must be about the complex issues.

 

[honestbharani]

They needed a collapse to get Australia nervous. That is where the rough umpire's call and the bad drop by Buttler will hurt them.

But...... but............ he is the leader of the Australian Fast Bowlers to have taken a Hattrick club.

i mean this technically is a collapse; 4 wickets have fallen for not that many, even if the first two were a comedy run out and a number 9.

anyway head has already solved the aimlessness issue.

Daily reminder that Head > Wade Smith.

Yeah but these days 4 wicket clumps are pretty regular. I honestly think you need 6 or more wickets in a clump for it to be a collapse.

Head > everybody

Wtf

 

[Starfighter]

Is Robinson actually going to bowl spin?

 

[Spark]

what on earth is going on here

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Robinson bowling offies is itstl

Has done it a little bit at county level iirc, but didn't expect to see it here

 

[artvandalay]

Wait what Robinson bowls off spin?

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha it's actually not bad at all!

Definitely better than Stokes's off spin offerings.

Commentators love the word uppish don't they

Not as much as 'intent'.
