*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[morgieb]

Haha, Ian Chappell really doesn't grasp the concept of batting for a draw does he?

Pretty sure Root would be trying to bat faster if they weren't 5 million behind with no hope of winning.

Not really, he's struggled for aggression in any situation. Very slow starter.

He is playing his shots now though tbf.

 

[andyc]

You know he was joking right?

Was he? Was only half listening tbf.

 

[GIMH]

Babblefest?

Pretty much

Best get in mate. You're married now, gotta take every chance you get.

Not until lunch though mate

 

[NUFAN]

I'm ready to see a caught and bowled chance today..

 

[benchmark00]

If Watson was about 7 km/h slower it would be perfect for Haddin to go up to the stumps and peg them in their crease and go for an LBW.

Yessss.

 

[Jono]

This is where Twatto's bowling is very very handy. Batsman aren't looking to go after him so they're trying to get to lunch and he's reversing it in. Nice

 

[Burgey]

That's Murphy wheeling a fixie along in the Bucketheads ad.

 

[Bahnz]

Moderately impressed that Warne knows that 12 is under 13.

 

[Spark]

Shane Watson would be such a good bowler against Shane Watson

 

[Jono]

Warne jealous Root looks younger than he actually is, which is what Warney has been trying to do with his own face for many many years.

 

[Jono]

What's the rain situation today and tomorrow?

 

[GIMH]

What's the rain situation today and tomorrow?

Usual rules, anything above light rain and the players go off, covers on

 

[benchmark00]

Smits.

 

[morgieb]

What's the rain situation today and tomorrow?

Showers likely tomorrow, doesn't seem like it'll rain today however.

 

[benchmark00]

[benchmark00]

He hit that, dropped catch.

 

[Spark]

He hit that, dropped catch.

Nah hit the ground IMO

 

[Burgey]

Yeah true, but counterattacking at one for nearly nothing is not much of a plan when you're trying to bat for a draw, which is what Chappell wanted him to do.
