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

[Jim Prideaux]

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.

Depends a bit B-dog, if the pitch is really hard the pink ball will create the ‘trampoline/tennis ball’ bounce as it softens

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

Surely there’s better at Shield level…

He has been the best quick in Shield lately

 

[Around the Wicket]

The non review is getting worse by the second

it wasn't 100% it would have been given to be fair

 

[Plugger35]

A good fifty from Crawley, he has a knack of producing a good score just when he is in danger of being dropped.

 

[grumbleguts]

These commentators are talking about England like they're a bunch of make a wish kids.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

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.

Agree on Boland. Neser also bowled Some good bslls, reckon he’ll settle

 

[ams4crows]

That ball is soft and not moving at all.... This is where Lyon would be handy

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Whilst true if Jamie Smith was given could easily see that being given

 

[kozi]

That guy with 500 test wickets may have been handy to take a few wickets here. Just a thought bubble

 

[troybe]

Greens last ball

Give Head a trundle

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Haven't quite been patient enough with the ball

Gone away from corridor / good length too often

Targeting stumps, short ball. Greedy for wickets. Has opened up legside scoring opportunities

 

[ams4crows]

Wonder if Travis will roll the arm over, definitely need a change up

 

[Jimthegreat]

Leg stump again!!!!!!

 

[Zach Package]

Actually reckon it's a bit of a miracle they are only 2 down given they have gone hard at a lot and only nicked two

 

[Plugger35]

The Barmy Army has woken up.

 

[Roonescape]

The Barmy Army has woken up.

Wish they'd go back to sleep

 

[Jimthegreat]

Do some of our bowlers think? 5th stump line to these blokes. They'll waft at it eventually. It's in their nature.

 

[ams4crows]

I don't think Green is any good as a bowler, he's definitely only a part timer, he'll pick up the occasional wicket here and there but his consistency isn't great

 

[t_94]

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

Not the precious over rate! Games finish 4 days max lmao most over discussed ‘issue’ in cricket.

C’mon Jim. It’s been tennis ball since ball 1.

It actually looks like it’s starting to bounce a bit quicker now though.

Tomorrow will be a lot livelier, and the ball will soften faster as the pitch dries.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Agreed

 

[magpie_marty]

Let's wait and see the night session ?

 

[ams4crows]

The ball is dead already only 20 overs old and it's not moving or swinging, we gonna be hanging out for night to fall

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Surprised to see he’s played 34 tests. Will finish his career thinking himself pretty lucky.
