2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[Starfighter]

we’ll see what happens in 90 mins or so but this really doesn’t look a pitch where you’d want 5 takes on rfm as your frontline attack to me

As Alex Bowden would put it, 'England's attack is looking decidedly fast-medium'.

Warne talking absolute horseshit about Broad and Anderson’s ages lol

 

[ashley bach]

For me all the bowlers have looked reasonably dangerous and plenty of balls have seamed even as the ball has gotten old. Just a lack of luck/bowling slightly too short/getting distracted by other tactics

as Burgey pointed out above, as well as the commentary suggest, biggest problem has been that the bowling has generally been too short.

 

[Gob]

commentators on guerilla cricket just said Steve Smith as captain again, what the f...

What ?

 

[Days of Grace]

Incredible that Warne and McGrath nearly averaged 10 wickets a test together.

‘Anderson and Broad for some reason always get lumped together’ says Warne, as they play their 125th test together

 

[tony p]

Labuschagne alone has played and missed 11 times. He just seems to be immune to nicking it.

An excellent attribute as a batsman.

 

[ashley bach]

What ?

guess there will always be controversy about such issues.
I reckon he's auto for the job.

Faaarrrk. He really is an ignorant ****.

 

[_Ed_]

Wow, Root's looking threatening all of a sudden.

Playing inside the line without following the ball. Simple

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If Root is turning it now what will Lyon do on day 4?

 

[Hurricane2]

12 times beaten for Labu

naaaaah. Definitely the ‘not following it’ part, but he’s trying to hit it and it’s seaming enough that he misses it. Still a massive element of luck involved.

 

[Pothas]

I don't think I have ever hated a 50 more than this.

 

[tony p]

12 times beaten for Labu

And 0 times dismissed.

Well when it comes in and holds it line, you are obviously going to play at it.

Yes and you might nick it. I’m not saying he sucks I’m just saying he’s human and is probably due to nick the odd one.

 

[stephen]

is there anything to do in the city other than rundle mall

Barossa and Claire Valleys. Both are two of the greatest wine regions in the world.

 

[Hurricane2]

Australians have always been the best at running between the wickets
