5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

[Spikey]

I liked the innings more than Head's but bad finish

I can't believe we've had less than 60 overs. I also don't care, given we'll likely get a completed test. But this could get Root in trouble.

 

[Spark]

He got that bouncer right at least, over off stump. Best test knock a green has played imo. Had good tempo to his innings

yeah, and had options for getting off strike too. just looked serene, he'll feel he's left a lot of runs out on the pitch there

That back foot drive on the up had me wanting to call Jack Wood up as 12th man

 

[ashley bach]

why is woakes persisted with? whats with the eng ** selection.

you can only blame the selectors so much.
whatever they came up with England were toast before a ball was bowled in the series.
not saying I told you so, but all expert cricket analysts predicted this turmoil.

Gordon Greenidge doesn't count as a Green?

 

[Spikey]

What the hell was that Wood.

 

[Gnske]

What the hell was that Wood.

The setup before the kill

 

[trundler]

Australia have the Wood over him don't they

 

[Gnske]

How good is drizzle

 

[Spikey]

Two times Wood has tried the bouncer thing, angled the ball to the off-side, been smashed through point and then, i guess, realised he should be angling the ball into the batter

lol this is cringe af

 

[Spark]

this is ridiculous

 

[Starfighter]

Could be it for the day. In England, they wouldn't even have gone off.

There's actually an aesthetic quality to it when you watch it repeatedly

genuinely ludicrous.

 

[Spikey]

this is a disgrace. days 2 to 5 should be played in canberra

[Gnske]

Seemed to be more for bowlers slipping potentially. But still, this is cliche weather umpiring.

 

[Spark]

if 0.0001mm of rain can make the ground too slippery to play on at night then maybe a day night test at hobart starting an hour later than everywhere else wasn't a great idea

 

[Spikey]

I would say Hobart was a mistake, but it's worse than that
