2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[honestbharani]

yeah.. the natural height advantage and more strength to push the ball through being a regular seamer. Nice release and drift too.


England have their second spinner for SC tours, I guess.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He's no Funky Miller, but that didn't look quite as rancid as I expected

 

[Shri]

Is Robinson actually going to bowl spin?

should be faster than his pace bowling at least

 

[Spark]

hahaha dare i say it but that's an option that could keep him in the side for some tours.

 

[Prince EWS]

Plenty to work with there IMO, better action than Root and Funky-Stokes for sure.

 

[Starfighter]

I was kinda hoping we might see Malan bowl.

"I bowl off spin so i can't be racist" defense being setup here

 

[Starfighter]

Way to ruin a good over.

This is cultural appropriation, worst kind of racism. /s

 

[artvandalay]

England do produce some multi dimensional cricketers though regardless of anything else you might say about them. Livingstone is another one.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah Woakes looks surprisingly impatient here. Has to keep bowling there outside off where he keeps beating Marnus' bat and get it slightly fuller.

 

[tony p]

Ollie Robinson, the new Colin Miller.

 

[honestbharani]

Robinson is already looking the best English spinner on tour, lol.

 

[artvandalay]

Who else have they got for the boxing day test? They would have bowled over 200 overs here within 3 days and they've looked less than fresh for the whole of this match. That slow first innings scoring rate from Australia was a blessing In disguise.

 

[Shri]

ngl i like robinson's utility bowling here

 

[honestbharani]

Anderson could run through Australia here which maybe a blessing in disguise for Australia too.

Unless we see some Buttler/Stokes magic, I think Australia winning this very easily.

 

[Shri]

head smash anderson pls

 

[halba]

marcus harris played his last test match for australia.
aus in trouble but the wicket is doing more, mid day 4 pitch.

 

[tony p]

Robinson is already looking the best English spinner on tour, lol.

Jack Leach just ordering his plane ticket home as we speak.

 

[honestbharani]

If Neser and Richardson relax and bowl their normal style, England are cooked chasing anything above 200 IMO. But if they are still nervous, there is a chance for England. But its pretty much all on Stokes/Buttler IMO.
