**Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

[Burgey]

Rana a yard too short here

 

[Starfighter]

Split screen on C7 showing these two squaring up in practically identical fashion. Maybe they need to use a more traditional stance and footwork.

I'd have brought in Ashwin instead of Rana tbh. If there's anything in the deck, might as well try him out once early instead of falling back when the batsmen are already settled..

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hot take but that wasn't even a bad drop, and I'm harsher on keepers than anyone. He was full stretch and it swung away a mile after passing the bat and kept going. New pink ball under lights is a demon

Yeah it moved quite a bit. Maybe should've still taken it but it's not as terrible drop as it seems imo.

No point. Sharma reads the forums, he’s also against Ashwin getting a SENA 5’fer.

He didn't come out to field tonight. Might have a sore foot?

 

[Burgey]

Marnus patting a leg stump half volley to mid on a couple of overs ago instead of punching it to mid wicket for three is everything that’s wrong with his approach atm. Walking wicket

 

[Starfighter]

Hitting the ball straight to the fielders.

 

[ashley bach]

Marnus has just plain forgotten how to score runs

The main thing you would fault him on was that he could have moved better and been coveting the edge. However you have to keep in mind that Bumrah is bowling big hooping innies and there's already been 4 byes down leg that he couldn't get to. So he has to be covering that as well. Not an easy job for any keeper

 

[Qlder]

Labuschagne has now faced 75 balls this series for 5 runs

 

[Qlder]

Cheating Aussies, they turned off the lights lol

 

[Spikey]

Time to take test matches away from Adelaide

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Albo forgot to pay the bills

 

[Burgey]

Albo forgot to pay the bills

I shall raise this with him at dinner on Tuesday night

 

[Starfighter]

I think the run rate's not that bad considering the bowling, but that's because of all the byes.

 

[silentstriker]

Missing Deep (and of course Shami) here.

 

[Burgey]

Is finish time 10:30 eastern?

 

[Starfighter]

Is finish time 10:30 eastern?

I'd guess so from when the session started.

All about wickets tonight. Runs matter nowt right now
