***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

[Jarquis]

Not sure whey KP keeps going on about the umpires being ‘scared to make a decision’ - surely it’d be easier to give that out knowing England can review it?

 

[morgieb]

It's more that morgieb does this every single ****ing time a side chasing a total against Australia puts together any sort of partnership.

I just get frustrated when Australia have it in the bag (or a significant lead) but start to blow it

 

[ImpatientLime]

Quick fire 25 from Broad to win the game?

oh man. no reviews left, broad thick edge to the keeper, doesn't walk, given not out.

smacks the winning runs.

 

[social]

Umpires being embarrassed now

 

[Jarquis]

Where’s 91JMay?

 

[stephen]

Looked fractionally high in real time.

As with practically every other LBW in the game I'm pretty sure that the umpire made the wrong decision.

 

[Cow]

Good decision. Too much guess work from umpire... looked high.

 

[Spark]

Eh, I don't mind the umps not giving that, especially when you know they're mostly going over.

 

[King Pietersen]

The Barmy Army reaction to that LBW shout was gold.

Swann's an intolerable bastard on commentary. This commentary team on BT is dire. I miss the Sky team.

 

[Daemon]

feels good to say 'review it ****s' after copping it for years as an indian fan

nice of the barmy army to get involved as well

 

[Starfighter]

Love that we can just beat an attendance record from when Australia's population was about five million.

Yeah, I would be the same if India were in this position TBH. Setting 350 after a 200+ run headstart and a 3rd innings collapse doesn't quite feel the same as setting that from level-pegging or a position of deficit.

TBF they didn't have fire regulations and they also had Bradman and the ultimate cricketing villain in that game.

There's reasons for that. During Bodyline, there was no seating at Adelaide Oval just concrete slabs and no safety limits.

I miss Athers and Nasser

 

[King Pietersen]

I miss Athers and Nasser

Yeah pretty much. Hell, I'd rather listen to Botham than listen to Swann or Vaughan.

 

[Cow]

Aus will get the new ball during the 2nd session tomorrow (easiest time to bat).

Not losing wickets is so important for the next 30 mins.

50000, but only 5000 could actually see the game

They're not blowing it, though. England are fighting hard and doing well.

Remind me to not give you a gun in a zombie apocalypse.

No they won't. They'll get it about five overs into the day.
