2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[Burgey]

Who the hell changed the anthem from "young and free" to "one and free"?

Scott Morrison actually. Probably his one positive act as Prime Minister.

Stupid and unnecessary change.

Harris already making Anderson look competent. What a spud.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I think Lyon should bat 11 anyway, but if he isn't in this team then someone has completely taken leave of their senses

Reminiscent of Agar batting 11 on debut

 

[honestbharani]

I'm not a bubble expert but do they allow players to engage in public places when they are supposed to be in one. Doesn't make much sense

I dont think they are in a bubble though. More of a managed environment?

 

[stephen]

Huge mental challenge for Warner here.

 

[Burgey]

Early days but good carry. Anderson will want to be a little bit fuller than that over, but am sure he will be.

Read it in the article that Cummins did not violate any bubble protocols

 

[ataraxia]

I hope the low camera angle is on purpose to make the English bowlers look slower, and the camera is raised for the next innings.

Looks umpire's call or slightly high. edit: bloody australian bounce

"Young and free" is ageist

National party to change it to "White and free"

Dan Andrews to change it to "One and Compliant"

 

[stephen]

Why the hell was Broad dropped for the first test?

Lol he's just let that go on the angle. Crazy leave.

So when was the last time a team had three different captains in three consecutive Test matches, Paine, Cummins & now Smith.
Doubt it would have happened before to Australia at least.

Australia has had 4 different captains in 4 consecutive tests before

Billy Murdoch, Tom Horan, Hugh Massie and Jack Blackham

In 1884/1885

 

[stephen]

In things you don't hear every day:

"Good call by umpire Wilson".

Ah yes, remember it well

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aussies setting themselves up to bat 5 and a half sessions then run through England on night 2

 

[stephen]

Harris just looks terrible out there. Deer in the headlights.

 

[Burgey]

This is terrible. Get on with it Harris, ffs. Your defense isn't up to it, have a crack and maybe contribute a bright 15 or so.

This is the fifth such instance in Australian cricket.

M8 tbf those balls have jagged about a foot off the seam haha

 

[Burgey]

FFS look at that one. Short and wide. Hayden or Langer spank that through cover point for four, as the dross deserves.
