If this passive pansie ass Australia is what they think will endear them to the public we are ****ed.

They look completely devoid of confidence outside of Lyon.

Finch Marsh Handscomb and Paine look out of form with the bat and Starc badly out of form with the ball.

The Vics get a go at last and score 51 between them. 60 in the first innings. Bloody hell, that's pathetic.

Perth is in Victoria?

Needs more NSW players.

Finch, Harris and Handscomb all play for Victoria.

 

[00Stinger]

That table just looks right

What ******* Muppet moved the first test from the Gabba to Adelaide? You would have to think we more than ever needed the home ground advantage

The Gabba is a run down shithole that is a mission to get to from anywhere other than across the road, and has zero parking options other than some blokes backyard, or getting a parking ticket.

Sadly, that sort of stuff is more important to CA.

Just Queensland in general I would have thought.

Probably the same muppet who thought having the bbl in the middle of a test series helps our test team

 

[Topkent]

Also LOL at Brendan Julian.

Shawn Marsh proving his critics wrong here with a 50, his first ever in a 4th innings in test cricket.

Not exactly a stat to be proud of

Can confirm.

I think the Gabba is the most dated test venue in Australia. Both formerly held by the WACA and Adelaide oval. I do remember reading that CA basically said if they don't renovate the ground they'll take it away, which is what's basically happened.

Still though it should be a 5 test series. Could have at least chucked a trip down to tassie while it's india on tour

Shame though it's a waste of a pitch that the ground staff have looked after all through winter. One of the few grounds these days not to do a drop in

The shame is that it's the best 'cricket' wicket in Australia and it's going unused.
The Adelaide wicket has finally become interesting after being the most boring test match of every season.

Credit to Paine and Cummins here. Showing great patience.

India “requested” rather suggested to CA not to play there and we agreed. Nor did India want the first test played at the new WA ground.

Fair enough, it is there home series

 

[Topkent]

Cummins has now lasted more deliveries than Finch, Harris, Handscomb, Head and Khawaja.

12 balls behind our captain at current.

 

[Simon_Says]

Our batting Attack is (obviously nothing new here) in shambles.

But i applaud the tail here for not buckling

He has been the closest thing we've had to an Allrounder for a while now ... including when we we've played an apparent, "allrounder"

I thought it was the Indians that pulled the plug on the first test being at the GABBA

 

[PerfectFooty]

It'd be something special if the tail end can do something here

 

[TheCount]

It might have been/probably was ... but that doesn't make what I said about the venue any less factual.

 

[Topkent]

No matter what happens here the tail deserve mad respect for this. Have outscored the top order now.

 

[Topkent]

Of course
