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

[Second Spitter]

In baseball we sort this stuff out the old fashioned way...... by hitting the batter in his next turn at-bat.

 

[Burgey]

That there, that’s how they’re going to get him. England have cottoned-on, I reckon. Doesn’t mean they’re nailed on but they’ll make him think about what he plays at and leaves at least.

It’s similar to how they get him in England, really, so I’m not saying ‘they finally get what everyone else doesn’t’. What they’ve got is that the way they get him over there is a possibility here.

It’s weird how unorthodox but successful batsmen make fielding teams look for weird answers. The off stumpish line nibbling away should always be the plan. It’s been the most successful plan since 1877 and it’ll be the most successful one forever*.

*Except in the subcontinent where they open with spinners, but that doesn’t count anyway.

George Dobell asking for questions from the twittersphere via Cricinfo. Anyone got some suggestions for me to ask him?

Apparently being drunk lets you type ellipses but makes you forget about apostrophes and full stops.

Ask him this "Do you ever worry that your writing is too good?"

 

[Cow]

I love Anderson. Up with Darwin, Higgs and Faraday in our great Brits.

 

[Burgey]

Was going to ask if he hates abilities.

Ask him why he's so weird and insufferable

 

[stephen]

Handscomb is looking like he's going to edge every ball here. Hell, he looks like he would even edge Ball here.

Time to bring in Maxwell.

 

[Gnske]

Actually say something even microscopically bad about Moeen's abilities, I'll be surprised if he can resist.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well we need a couple of wickets quickly here or we are stuffed here.

yeah ask him if england would be winning the ashes if instead of the racist somerset player they picked a good somerset spinner

 

[Starfighter]

Woakes breaks new ground by pitching up on consecutive balls.

Jardine without the stiff upper lip

 

[Adders]

Yep, Vaughan called it earlier that we really need 8 by stumps to justify the bowl first. Thats a long way off.

 

[Spikey]
