[Coronis]

That smile after the bouncer

 

[Number 11]

Are we going to go back the other way and get an MCG road after this?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why doesnt starc just york these fools

 

[Sunil1z]

My dude, prepping a deck like this when the opposition is packing 4 quicks is not “doctoring.”

And neither are normal SL wickets tbh .

 

[Starfighter]

At last. Hate these lower order partnerships, even when your team is in an epically good position.

*guy who has never watched cricket before these two series*: oh wow the west indies mustn't be that bad, they bat as well as the second best test side in the world!

We all thought it would be last year after the pitches we got for the first two games, but it turned out to be the liveliest MCG pitch in years (which to be fair seems the norm now in Test matches there after they got dinged)

 

[ataraxia]

Australia 25 all out surely

 

[honestbharani]

Meh.. kinda wished they at least made 3 figures.


Will be funny if Aus lollapse here.

 

[Sunil1z]

This doesn't make any sense

It makes perfect sense . Can’t beat SA on normal wickets at home . Make a lottery wicket then . ?

 

[Coronis]

Watch SA roll us back and make 33 look imposing.

 

[Kirkut]

Cummins is the most beautiful bowler.

isn't this a bit of a reverse causality deal though in that whether we take one spinner or ten on the plane to india doesn't change whether or not they're doodling their pitches to benefit their bowlers more? the premise of this argument sort of feels "spinner cricket not real cricket"

 

[Shady Slim]

king pair for warner please

 

[Gob]

Ok I don’t believe that this wicket is doctored .
But since I am arguing with a 10 year child I will say that Aussies have doctored this wicket because they haven’t won a live Test at home against SA in last 17 years .

I'm asking (again), how is this pitch helping Australia?

They would rather have a good batting pitch that would take turn later on. They have the bowling to get the 10 SA wickets on any wicket. Out of all the wickets, this is the least doctored type pitch for Australia because this will even the contest

 

[TheJediBrah]

No one said normal SL wickets were doctored, that makes no sense. You still don't know what doctored means

Why is this graph that Fox are showing of the last 10 innings Warner has scored a line graph

this is a red herring though because the real question here isn't whether or not the pitch is doctored to benefit australia, rather whether or not this pitch is for pace bowling what a nagpur vs sa style pitch is for spin bowling, and thus a "bad pitch"

No they're 2 separate discussions happening simultaneously
