Rested.

Rested for a pink ball game and he is the leading wicket taker of the comp?

F**k cricket australia

Surely that's the WACA's decision, not CA's.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Can't imagine any play today but the final 3 days will be good.

 

[eddiesmith]

No Marsh?

Looks like Hanno Jacobs has done nothing to address his constant no-balls

 

[Nathan Barley]

Is Henry Thornton becoming a gun First Class cricketer?

Buckingham as non-threatening as ever

I had a no-ball problem until I realized I was allowing it to happen. It is easily fixed.

Very odd seeing Manenti take wickets, very valuable.

You can hear a pin drop with such a small crowd. Some nuffie is screaming "Get Corey on!" over and over
Good test for Hunt and McSweeney here on a very lively deck.

 

[Aussie_boy]

You'd imagine the game plan is to try and get a 100 or so run lead and have them in under lights tomorrow. Easier said than done of course.

 

[Westend]

Just average again lads with the bat

Same old same old

 

[Aussie_boy]

Bat normally til tea then up the rate and have a swing for a session.

Nielsen 15 off 60 going for the win.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Think that Bancroft wicket was lucky/unlucky to be considered to have hit inside the line.

 

[largebus]

Goodwin having a decent hit out is a positive. We need the younger generation to actually start pulling their weight

Continuing on today too.

Him and Cartwright holding firm this afternoon. Hopefully there's no sudden collapses.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Barring a couple of quick wickets before the break this looks headed to nowhere

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Lost day 1 due to rain and that was that. The way it rained on day 1, I was amazed we got underway after that.

It just seems weird to me that it's a day/night game and more time hasn't been made up after losing a whole day. Day starting at 2 and stumps at 10, would've thought stumps could've been pushed back to 10:30.

Yep, I thought the same, but wasn't familiar with the playing conditions.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Horrible shot by Cartright

 

[largebus]

Incredible how even the white ball focused cricketers like Connolly can last longer in the middle than anyone in the England side
