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

This may be a controversial statement, but I think Nathan Lyon is a better spinner than Will Jacks .

 

[scoman]

I said let's get him out the back because he's hot

It's a valiant effort. But I'm not sure that has been said about Nathan before.

 

[MarcMaverick]

So a Boxing Day dead rubber in the "Sportin' Capital".. what a joke the Poms are.

Usually is with The Poms

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Too early?

Apparently not. This just in from the England dressing room.

 

[jb04]

Just got back from walking the dog anything interesting happen?

 

[satty]

He strikes again

 

[SportsCentre]

Who is the MOTM? Head or Carey?

Head edges Carey when he gets his hat-trick in his upcoming 2nd spell

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Is Alyssa Healy on Kayo every 15 minutes? Fmd

Rather listen to Healy than Dave "i watch cardoons on my OLED" Warner.

"12.8.1. At the End of the Day The umpires may decide to play 30 minutes (a minimum of 8 overs) extra time at the end of any day (other than the last day) if requested by either captain if, in the umpires opinion, it would bring about a definite result on that day. This is in addition to the additional time provided for in clause 12.7.3 above. If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved no extra time shall be allowed. If it is decided to play such extra time on one or more of these days, the whole period shall be played out even though the possibility of finishing the match may have disappeared before the full period has expired."


(12.7.3 is that extra 30mins that's standard these days, so this can go to 6pm local if umpires agreed)

Nice to see Stokes not be annoying in one of these chases

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just had a look at his record. Holy shit how has he played so many tests?? Do they seriously not have anyone better in county cricket?

Taken him more innings to reach 3000 test runs than any opener in history

Nice to know we're not the only country grappling with opening options

 

[Moonwatcher]

Carey, Head, Lyon the Redbacks dominating (I know but we developed him and gave him his shot).

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Beers orders by me: 6

Australian wickets: 6

 

[Millky95]

Imagine losing 5-0 to this Aussie lineup

Out bowled them in each game. Even our "second" string pace attack is still world class

This may be a controversial statement, but I think Nathan Lyon is a better spinner than Will Jacks .

Riots in the streets of London if they hear you say that.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What happened I went to the toilet?

You may need another dump

 

[pjcrows]

Flick it over to Channel 7. Classic Punter.

Essentially saying these two are sh*t, have given nothing, and are probably feeling guilty

 

[largebus]

This may be a controversial statement, but I think Nathan Lyon is a better spinner than Will Jacks .

Lyon didn't make centuries in both innings

 

[Joffaboy]

Bedwetters will be worried about Archer making a double ton

I will still be pissing myself if they are 9 down and 200 behind.

 

[sherb]

Looks like he's triggered a collapse akin to the one at The Oval during our winter. Geoff Boycott will have a field day with that dismissal.

And, in fairness, the new batsman coming to the crease following Brooks' dismissal was quality (Stokes).

But what if he gets a peach early on? (Which he did). That is two wickets lost unnecessarily.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Beers orders by me: 6

Australian wickets: 6

Hurry up and finish this one will ya you sober you know what

So a Boxing Day dead rubber in the "Sportin' Capital".. what a joke the Poms are.

for Sydney, the best thing in that case would be for Poms to lose, so the final test is "will they or won't they be white washed"

Anything else and its even more dead

Can you down 4 more beers before close of play?

 

[Chuckie357]

Going to take a punt and say no.

No more charity for WA
