**Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

Ah, the wonder of the front foot pull shot. Clonked him right in the forehead.

 

[Silver Silva]

Before this series he had 23 FC games averaging 21.05....that's where he's been hiding

He's only 21 years old , stats are never going to give a fair reflection on a youngsters true ability.
He's been gun and showed no fear in the biggest series of the year.

 

[Starfighter]

Nearly the end of the session and only 43 overs bowled. Of course, about two overs worth of no-balls won't help.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Finish him Pat!

 

[Starfighter]

It would be really handy if Cummins could bowl that in swinger that he sometimes does but for some reason only attempts it every few matches.

 

[TimAngas]

Nearly the end of the session and only 43 overs bowled. Of course, about two overs worth of no-balls won't help.

And of course there will be no sanction as the innings will fall well short of eighty overs (most innings probably don't last eighty in Australia anymore).

 

[morgieb]

Legit surprised that wasn’t 6 balls at Bumrah’s head. Good that it wasn’t.

 

[Xix2565]

Well that's that then. IND 180 all out in 44.1 overs, and tea is taken.

 

[Starfighter]

Fine performance from Starc, this is as well as he's ever bowled. I think that non-review earlier cost us at least 50 runs that could prove vital. Especially because with our batting and the ball swinging we could easily lose five or more wickets in the session.

 

[Darwin Award]

Career best test figure for Starc now.

 

[Prince EWS]

Actually this is a bit of a fun trick to fool the specialist batsmen info giving up the strike that I'm surprised teams don't do it more often.

I thought exactly that when I read your other post lol.

Don't bring the field up, make them think you've ****ed that up by forgetting to do that, bowl a gentle half volley that goes to deep cover for one - but overstep.

Fun Fact: every time Jaiswal scores a duck, India get bowled out within 50 overs

India scores when Jaiswal gets a duck
153 - 34.5 overs
150 - 49.4 overs
180 - 44.1 overs

Yeah especially in ODIs.

 

[vicleggie]

Hmm 180, will it be competitive?

 

[morgieb]

Good bowling, but I fear Bumrah could run riot.

still, at least we’ve bowled them out for under 200 twice.

 

[King Kane]

Normally being bowled out for 180 batting first on the first day would be bad but India have the chance to bowl under lights with a new pink ball now.

 

[Gob]

India will be batting again by stumps

 

[Starfighter]

That's a leg break.

 

[social]

Can’t even see the pink ball clearly in hd

 

[Starfighter]

Why are all our seemingly batsmen coached to square up on the crease?
