***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

[Zinzan]

That boundary is so ****ing massive, was absolutely convinced that would sail over the rope.

Adelaide's always been known for it's long straight boundaries.

 

[Top_Cat]

They've all been unusually poor today IMO. Healy was totally insufferable earlier on with Clarke.

Well what do you expect when edges are only one frequency long?

 

[Spark]

Massive. I think it's the longest in world cricket.

I remember Wasim Akram in 89/90 sending the punters scattering from the bar under the old scoreboard. Absolutely massive bombs.

Dhoni's absurdly large six off McKay a few years back still a personal favourite of mine

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

WOW. Is the sky that purple or is my TV ****ed

 

[Top_Cat]

The long boundaries aren't dead straight, corners under the scoreboard and on the other side of the Chappell stands are the big ones.

 

[Daemon]

Havent seen anything fuller into the pads of shamsi, australia dont want to bat

Yeah seems like it.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Hammering shamsi with short stuff, good bowling starc hes not even a pacer

 

[Zinzan]

Handy boundary... score creeping to 250 fellas.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Starc trying to kill Shamsi rather than get him out

 

[Starfighter]

Go boil your head Starc.

 

[morgieb]

Stop bowling short

 

[quincywagstaff]

Starc being self-indulgent with the short stuff to Shamsi - surely a few on the stumps would do the trick.

 

[hazsa19]

**** bowling, and sledging a bloke who averages 8 is equally ****.

 

[Blocky]

Starc being self-indulgent with the short stuff to Shamsi - surely a few on the stumps would do the trick.

I hope he wears some from Rabada and Abbott when he bats.

 

[Burgey]

Such a great ground. Think I might head over if there's a D/N test again next year, then do a weekend in McLaren Vale. ****ing beautiful there.

 

[Top_Cat]

As if he wasn't going to anyway.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

**** bowling, and sledging a bloke who averages 8 is equally ****.

Lost the plot completely

 

[Spark]

Oh man the gap between how hard he tried to hit that ball and how hard he actually hit the ball there was something

EDIT: how are these clearing the field

 

[Burgey]

**** bowling, and sledging a bloke who averages 8 is equally ****.

Yeah. No one has ever sledged a tail ender before. Ever.

 

[Daemon]

I feel kinda sad that Shamsi's a better batsmen than me
