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

That's not bouncing that high on a day 5 Adelaide pitch

Exactly

 

[Cat Pummins]

That Carse cover drive just shows the nature of this pitch now. Chris Martin could make runs on this.

 

[Moonwatcher]

567

 

[aabp1978]

This still isn’t over yet..they bat deep

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Look, this has been fun but Boland will pick up 3 wickets in 2 overs here

Just give him the ball

 

[Kennedy Parker]

What's he got now?

567, might get there if he has a strong tour of a subcontinent but once those soft tissues injuries start they don’t stop

 

[TasSixer]

England still in a good spot, batting is easy, they've just gotta not do something stupid 3 times

 

[danielnajdek]

This deep point shit is so frustrating to watch.

 

[The Lobbster]

Carse has played what 6 or so shots with no control?

Cannot buy this sort of luck

 

[Proeagle]

That did not look high, I don't trust the technology at all.

Yeah technology always assumes tennis ball bounce and I dont think it takes pace into account enough. I dont think it rises that much in a 1m space from pad to wickets.

I think you and I have very different definitions of the word good

 

[SC_Power]

England still in a good spot, batting is easy, they've just gotta not do something stupid 3 times

So, no chance then?

 

[010203]

A tie would be England's greatest ever moral victory.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I'll be surprised if Cummins plays at the MCG. He's obviously carrying something. His pace is well down.

Australia just have to snag a wicket every 50 runs

 

[Cat Pummins]

This ump gives us nothing.

Menon doing his best Joel Wilson impression.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Punter "How do you (Smith) walk back into the dressing room?"

He's probably just been told how well he batted and would have hit Starc for 6 on another day.

Yep the defining element of Bazball in the end

There was a lot of negative energy and mindset pre-Bazball and it was important to get them out of that and I think initially it was pretty smart. I just assumed that it would evolve at some point and three years on it’s a bit surprising that they are still in this bubble. It has basically become batting without consequence

 

[Westend]

just there pat

 

[Daka]

Starc's fuller bowls that are straight usually aren't bouncing like it shows on the predictor.

 

[Neese]

Nice Pat

 

[010203]

Great camera work Fox.

 

[satty]

Looks like 350 was definitely not a safe target on this pitch, even if it is being chased on a day 4/day 5 pitch.

 

[Jack Mundy]

A tie would be England's greatest ever moral victory.

What about a win?!

 

[k31th]

that could have gone anywhere on the top edge... lucky 4

 

[Daka]

I would be bringing Boland on and telling him to win us the game.
