2nd Test at Adelaide - 16 to 20 Dec

[Starfighter]

Surely this is Woakes's last Test away from England?

You'd hope. Shouldn't have ben picked and wouldn't have been but for injuries to Archer and Stone. He's slower than four years ago, this test and the last have probably about as good conditions as he could have hoped for in Australia and he's been absolutely insipid.

And as the sensible predicted, Richardson comes in before Lyon.

 

[Starfighter]

Not a fan of his bowling, but I absolutely love it when Starc goes for it batting.

 

[Number 11]

Luckily Woakes can add some extra runs @no.8 which Wood or Leach can’t. Really important when your down 500 in the 1st innings thanks to zero penetration bowling.

He's batting pretty well this series. I've been impressed, more than just slogging like he usually does

 

[Starfighter]

Go **** yourself Stokes!

 

[TheJediBrah]

England absolutely deserve every edge that has flown over the keeper's head for this bowling

 

[stephen]

I was in 2 minds....was going to, then decided not, but I think that someone should. Not just for entertainment but for stephens own development.

Or perhaps it's because it's not true.

But but but he might make 25 with the bat.

 

[Number 11]

Have thought for a while Starc should bat above Cummo. Yeah he’s a slogger but much more talented with the bat

 

[ashley bach]

Good wee partnership that, damage done. Mitchell continues the assault.
English made to look silly here, completely rubbing salt into an already gaping wound.

 

[tony p]

Surely this is Woakes's last Test away from England?

Surely this is Woakes last test EVER.

That one sure did!

 

[stephen]

This is entertaining stuff.

 

[TheJediBrah]

How bow that!!!

 

[NotMcKenzie]

And Woakes brings up his hundred in style

 

[Son Of Coco]

HAhahahahaha!


Jhye Richardson!

 

[morgieb]
