Hobart could use a wicket here, God knows where they get one. Not much depth in that Adelaide lineup.

Owen is a horrible bowler, even David's offbreaks would be better (maybe).

And once again, the performance of the spinners here makes me perpetually wonder why teams always load up on pace bowling on this kind of surface.

Really feel like C7 have been half-arsing things even more than usual this season. Especially with usually having the commentators in their Melbourne studios as opposed to actually at the ground
not having the speeds up during the tests should be a civil penalty infringement if you ask me

fines of the highest of $10,000,000, ten percent of revenue for the period or 30% of profits from their actions

Okay, that full toss was fairly easy to score off.

Worryingly for Hobart, it seems to be Faheem's stock delivery.

Oh yes, another batsman who has walked a mile from the stumps who thinks it should be called wide when it passes two-thirds of the way up the blade towards the handle.

Should have been a wide. Personally I don't think the wide line should change at all if the batsman moves. Why should it?

But if we are going with the wide line moving across if the batsman does, which is fine, that one was just too much. There has to be a limit.

The batsman knows where the wide lines are and chooses his guard. If he wants to walk so far to make the ball hittable, and then miss it when it was well within his reach, that's his fault.

Faheem is this year's Keemo Paul apparently. Although it would have turned out differently if it wasn't for that poor no-ball call.

Why should the wide line change though? It defeats the purpose and I've never seen a good explanation as to why it should
