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

[Shri]

99-1 to aus this

wtf we have only batted 20 overs

 

[Gnske]

Getting out to the medium pace Cummins, for shame

 

[Spark]

I'm not sure whether that was a really great ball or just horribly, horribly played because I don't think that really did that much.

 

[Johan]

Rubbish Sharma

 

[trundler]

That's was a mercy kill from Cummins

 

[wpdavid]

He was lucky to last as long as he did. Presumably Pant will now move into full IPL mode.

EDIT
fwiw here is cricinfo's take on the Sharma dismissal, if only because they hold a different view to people here.
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, OUT
ball of the series?! A length ball angling in. It pitches around off, forcing Rohit to play. He comes forward to defend it and for a moment, it looked like he had got the line covered. But the ball just about held its line after pitching, beat the outside edge and kisses the outer half of the off stump

 

[vicleggie]

**** off sharma

 

[halba]

Fair to say Rohit will announce his retirement if they lose or draw the series. He's 37. Was never really great In Tests.


Kohli got a ton last test so is fine and has been generally great in Tests in his career.

 

[Spark]

Lol the "we're definitely not missing the review this time" review

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rohit has declined so rapidly. Good on him, he's speedrun his decline in 5 months unlike Kohli in 5 years.

 

[Burgey]

Christ he isn’t in the same postcode as that ball

 

[Spark]

In general I'm surprised they haven't bounced Reddy more.

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

Rohit Sharma's average as captain drops to 32.42.

 

[trundler]

Rohit will go down as a mid player who had a purple patch unfortunately.

 

[Spark]

I mean I still think that was a pretty regular, if accurate, ball which didn't do very much. You really just can't be missing that.

 

[vicleggie]

Fair to say Rohit will announce his retirement if they lose or draw the series. He's 37. Was never really great In Tests.

All the more reason why he shouldn't have been picked as captain. Why pick a guy to lead, who clearly has one foot out the door

 

[OverratedSanity]

Uh the replay shows that ball didn't really even straighten that much. Rohit just decided to miss it anyway by a mile.

It really makes me wonder if he just didn't see it very well under the lights.

fat **** probably wanted to miss it so he could go and put his feet up

 

[quincywagstaff]

Australua have bowled well, but India haven't been mentally prepared to tough out this session.

Why is Nitish playing a cover drive to a wide ball with battery 10 minutes left?
