Test The Ashes Third Test December 17-21 1000hrs @ The Adelaide Oval

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is 5:30pm local time the cutoff?

 

[Jimthegreat]

Though the shot way too early. Still make me wonder if the pitch is a touch slow coming onto the bat. Been some ridiculous wickets.

 

[icyflakes]

Survive 3 overs lads, then the Poms get the WTC punishment again

 

[revo333]

Doesn't Broad normally commentate on Channel 7, or has he gone home in a huff?

Always the plan for him to go back home while the 3rd test was on.

 

[dumb]

saved the batters butts. lyon maiden 50 time.

“Here you go England, let’s make it 2-1 going into Melbourne”

Yes.

My beautiful, sweet, glorious, Alex.

This Bird has Flown.

Adorable.

 

[Big Bryza]

Interesting to watch England bat to see if the pitch is a touch slow and not quite coming on. There's bounce some edges haven't carried. Plus the unusual nature of the wickets. Hope so as those looked gifts.

Soon find out.

Think you're on the money. Although, it should quicken up tomorrow and be the best day for batting.

Series defining day and game on if the poms can show some spine and bat a whole day. Doubt it.

 

[dogs105]

He's just made 100 and saved our arse, again.

Yep, and the team thing would have been to try to get through the new ball and bat tomorrow

 

[two blue tiger]

Softc.cks like Green the real problem though. Imagine being 4/94 on this wicket.....

 

[A Pom]

In their warmup game he bowled for both England and the England Lions and he got pumped to all parts by both sides. They’ve clearly given up of him but surely he would perform slightly better than a part timer

Should've been Liam Dawson really. A bit more defensive but someone who could consistently hold down an end and let the seamers rotate would hardly have been bad for us.

 

[manureid]

Vaughan thinking Jacks set Carey up for that wicket is some pure comedy. The man is just trying to land one on the pitch

 

[danielnajdek]

Probably not the best time to bring that shot out with 2 overs left until the new ball and stumps in 20 minutes. Might just be me though.

 

[Plugger35]

Weak as piss from Carey, he only batted for 143 balls in the heat and scored a ton, not good enough.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Looks like the Aussies were keen to bowl on a 39 degree day tomorrow

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Enjoy the heat tomorrow, boys

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Half an hour before the game when Khawaja had earned a reprieve 100/100 in here would have taken 320-350+ and Ussie getting 80+

The team thing is to make a hundred when the side is battling.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Snicko is absolute rubbish and they should get rid of it. Pommie batsman given out last test despite a "lag".

Carey gets a life even though there was a clear spike before the ball supposedly arrived.

If they can't acually match it with the speed of the ball then get rid of it.

Home for his daughters 1st birthday.
Id say thats fair enough.

 

[Cataholic]

Hard to be critical but that is such a lack of concentration shot by Carey. Getting out to an absolute pie chucker with 20 minutes left

4 hours in the heat.

106 runs.

Saved our a*se and perhaps the only moment he lost concentration.

Definitely a bit slow

Some thatchy grass on top. Driving difficult. Quite a few batters caught in front of the wicket

Will quicken up on Days 2 and 3 (commentary cliches 101)

Sound can be generated other ways. If you want technology that is 100% reliable, then you want something that doesn’t exist

 

[ams4crows]

320 is not really enough on this pitch
