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

[Son Of Coco]

How is Handscomb on 35 not out ? He looks like he only picked up a bat for the first time this week.

That thing he does just before he gets himself set to face - turning the bat around so the face is towards point - it's ****ing weird. Looks like he's about to attempt a flop-shot out of a greenside bunker.

Australias day by a small margin (Smith out)

But dont count out England they are a bunch of fighters

I see what you've done there...

 

[Son Of Coco]

We really should have a multi-quote feature on here.

We really should have a multi-quote feature on here.

do you mean like that button to the right of the reply with quote one?

 

[Gnske]

Why is Chappelli so in favour of safe-spaces for batsmen?

 

[Starfighter]

No rain since 11:30 according to BoM. They've had a couple of hours to sort this out.

 

[Burgey]

Should review. Hit outside line

 

[Black_Warrior]

That looks out

 

[Starfighter]

Height might be the only issue. That looked pretty good though.

 

[Burgey]

Should review. Hit outside line

Nah. He finished outside after it hit him. Plumb

 

[Cabinet96]

Naturally warm to such players but from the little I've seen Handscomb just doesn't look convincing the way he plays.

 

[morgieb]

Well, ouch.

Handscomb really needs to do something to keep his spot, just looks really vulnerable when bowlers pitch it full.

 

[Starfighter]

Now for someone I've never seen bat before. Or at least don't remember.

 

[Adders]

Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps innit.

 

[Spark]

Scary Broad seems to have turned up today

 

[Black_Warrior]

Well, ouch.

Has shown enough to at least give him the full series. I see him getting a ton somewhere down the line

 

[Starfighter]

Dammit, why couldn't he have edged it?

 

[Burgey]

England are so going to rue how ****ed they bowled session one and two yesterday

 

[morgieb]

So Tim Paine and Shaun Marsh is the key partnership...sigh.

Broad looking on.

McGrath would have worked him over because he could adjust his length faster than other bowlers. I think length is more important bowling to Handscomb than anything else. Bowl what would be a shorter a half-volley length to a regular batsman and you'll give him a lot of trouble.

Hmmm
