Test The Ashes Second Test December 4-8 1430hrs @ The Gabba

The sight screens are seven kilometres square.

Again it’s 6 balls just sit down and don’t move not hard

 

[Borisdog]

Good luck catching that.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just need one more before they hit 100. Crawley gets all the luck.

 

[sherb]

The ball is apparently the reason that Boland can't catch.

 

[Jack Mundy]

Haydos has hair.. or something on his head

 

[Gough]

Only 3mm of grass on this pitch compared to 6mm in Adelaide and they say the pink ball goes soft early.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Jesus Crawley has some luck. Boland’s line looking a lot better.

 

[Visions]

How hard is it to sit down and not move between overs?

It’s not asking much

Also not hard to to have someone at the top of the stairs stopping people walking down during overs. Just like at the tennis during play.

Similar issue in the recent shield pink ball game here. If we must have a pink ball game, it should be at Adelaide or Hobart

 

[Kapow!!!]

This has gone a long way to answering my big question about Bazballers, especially Crawley. Patience, playing through tight bowling looking to go to their hard style when it's adventageous. Genuine growth and maturity of the style. Very commendable, lets see if they can cash in on their hard work.

Crawley still looks like he’s inviting might spoon one any ball soon, his hands are just too hard. But he has left a few tempters, so credit where credit is due

 

[Borisdog]

We’re already in a bit of trouble with the over rate. Trav will have to trundle a few I’d reckon.

 

[Visions]

Really relying on Starc way too much. The other 3 trundlers need to do their bit.

 

[Plugger35]

Green on, can he be the partnership breaker?

The trampoline bounce will tell you that the pitch isn’t that hard NOW. This ball won’t go soft as quickly as the next couple once the pitch dries out and gets rolled a couple of more times.

It seems to play more like the old Kookaburra during day time sessions.

They're really banking on it doing a heap at night. I'm not a fan of team selection for this one.

 

[sherb]

That was average fielding by Doggett.

I guess it marries up with his bowling.

 

[ams4crows]

Only Starc and Boland look like they can get wickets

 

[Kappa]

This is boring... go the slog or get out, gets get this game moving, only 1.5 days left.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Crawley will ton up I reckon. Root looks pretty comfortable too. Once he gets to 30 he inevitably usually gets a score between 50-100 or a century. Need to get either of these two soon or things will start to accelerate.

 

[RookiePick]

Really relying on Starc way too much. The other 3 trundlers need to do their bit.

Boland looks like he is warming into the work but the other two are shield cricketers getting their 5 minutes. Hopefully they can tighten up in their second spells and contribute to some pressure.

 

[JimmyBC]

BIG JOE ROOTER GONNA TON UP

Blame me if this happens guys

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

How the **** did Doggett get a gig?

Surely there’s better at Shield level…

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The non review is getting worse by the second

 

[ams4crows]

Well if they reviewed when he nicked on 19 the game would look a bit different
