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

[Pure_Ownage]

This is bringing the baseball out of root.

 

[TY24]

Why is everyone on the boundary if it drops short no one is around to catch it

Because they don't want to take the wicket until theres not enough time left in the day for us to have to bat

 

[Sentinel]

Besides a short few overs in the 2nd innings in Perth Boland has been trash so far this series.

 

[DaRick]

This is why Cummins is a better captain than Smith.

What we're doing is obvious as a strategy, but it's a) a bit soft, and b) might hurt just as much as losing a wicket or two overnight would've been.

Cummins made the same mistake with Aamer Jamal and Mir Hmza a couple of seasons back.

I just don't get our policy against ENG tailenders.

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

Tactics to the tail have been disgraceful for 3 years. If we were Pakistan we’d be investigated.

 

[k31th]

Because they don't want to take the wicket until theres not enough time left in the day for us to have to bat

which is now... and the field is STILL out

 

[hawkman]

Clarke is tactically one of our best ever captains.. shows how far off you're. Bloody hell.

Tactical yes, man management no

 

[ams4crows]

You delusional or ******ed?

No, if we bowled top off with a regular field with them attempting to hit the way they have we would have the wicket we need already.

We tried to waste time because we are scared to face the new ball under lights

 

[Some Idiot]

We clearly don't want the wicket tonight.

Not worth conceding 50 runs. Terrible cricket.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Terrible captaincy, set normal fields bowl normal lines and lengths. Instead we have gifted them 50-60 more runs than was needed and could be much more. Mishits are going to ground because there is nobody there.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Look... when Jofra is batting aim at the stumps.

Simple.

Or bowl an outswing ball luke we did to cause not this short with 9 on the fence.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Why is the field spread like this?

Because Test cricket is the greatest game in the world.

…..so sit back and enjoy it.

 

[Roonescape]

You can bring the field in now fellas

 

[Cataholic]

To think that people were saying England should declare when Jofra came in, him and Root have just put on 50 run partnership.

We're not used to Archer showing some heart.

 

[Struggle]

Every single player on the fence for Archer is dogshit coaching

Cummins has done the same to the tail so it's not a Smith thing

 

[Bucking Beads]

This pitch should only get better to bat on. If we don't get 500 we've bottled it.

 

[SC_Power]

Well, given tonight I can see us making 500 next 4 sessions.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Clarke is tactically one of our best ever captains.. shows how far off you're. Bloody hell.

Yea Clarke was a good captain

 

[Bucking Beads]

No, if we bowled top off with a regular field with them attempting to hit the way they have we would have the wicket we need already.

We tried to waste time because we are scared to face the new ball under lights

Imagine showing common sense. Why would we want to bat under lights with the new ball?

 

[AJ_2000]

Putting 9 on the fence rarely does the job you think. ...

It's runs galore if you get bat on it. You're hoping to catch them on the rope...

It's a dumb strategy.

 

[SC_Power]

This pitch should only get better to bat on. If we don't get 500 we've bottled it.

Jinx.

 

[catstorm]

****ing brain dead field

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This, my friends, is why you should never go into a Test match without a spinner.

 

[Doctor Feel]

 

[Jimthegreat]

Smith is neck and neck with M.Clarke as Australia's worst captain.

If anyone thinks Clarke is one of the worst ever captains should never comment on cricket again as it obvious they are as dumb as dogshit.
