2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[tony p]

Stokes not enjoying running after all these threes.

This is the kind of situation that Smith comes in and hits 18(10).

lol i can picture the stupid legs akimbo straight drive he's gonna get bowled playing where he holds the pose with the bat pointed towards the sky, wondering how such a dogshit shot could possibly get him done

This is the kind of situation that Smith comes in and hits 18(10).

Not before a lbw review and a suicidal run attempt

I feel like Aussies are always saying ‘Warner is akshually very technically correct and a proper batsman’ yet to me he still always looks like he’s totally making it up as he goes along

he's got a very good technique for opening the batting in australia and in centurion and a dogshit technique for batting anywhere else in the world, and anyone who says otherwise is a buffoon

Is England just trying to copy the World Champions with this 5-man pace attack?

“Wait til Adelaide under lights” they said.

Motoring now

It’s not just the technique but the sometimes random shot selection and premeditated shots for no reason. But all the nonsense works because cricket is terrible.

 

[ashley bach]

Australian batsmen in Australia just can’t get out. Tale as old as time.

my feelings exactly the same, except for 85/86 when Sir Richard made them look like schoolboys.
perhaps they didn't score so big against India last year as well.
but generally Aussie batsman at home= constant flurry of runs.

You at least had two left-armers.

 

[Starfighter]

You absolute potato Warner!

 

[morgieb]

What the **** was that

 

[stephen]

Warner playing by far the worst shot of his innings to get out there.

 

[Spark]

literally the only bloke in that postcode

 

[thierry henry]

Couldn’t the prick have just been run out or something instead of the ginger tosser getting him
