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

[Plugger35]

You can understand Joffra Archer being miserable.

Puts in hard for a whole day, gets a 5fa on a 'road', gets a chance to put his feet up in 40 degree heat and his batting teammates capitulate.

The way this innings is going he will probably be bowling again today, not ideal in this sort of heat.

Root’s average this series will have to be broken into ‘pre-cum’ and ‘post-cum’….

You just have a way with words.

 

[Forward Press]

As usual, Ben Stokes coming in with his side well behind is a force to be reckoned with.

I won't be comfortable until he's back in the pavilion, and preferably sooner rather than later.

Only thing saving them from the follow on is the weather

This is a classic:

 

[Anzacpaul]

They both did

First one wasn't given out live and review not clear enough to overturn.

Absolutely no issue with the decision and if the teams were reversed I'd hope we got the same outcome.

Reading some of the comments, they're not exactly complimentary of the current side.

That parallel universe makes for some very enjoyable reading

He’ll be frothing at that thought of being asked to retire with dehydration/cramps and having to brush the trainers away. His Woodstock

Joe Root would not have an Australian hundred if Cummins played all Ashes games

Root still doesn't have a red ball century in Australia.

Alyssa is ten times the commentator compared to her insufferable uncle. Although it's a bit cringe that the other commentators want to talk about nothing else but her married life.

 

[Scorpus]

Ollie Pope is the 6th worst batsman to ever play at least 11 innings in Australia and the worst since 1959

 

[Plugger35]

Unlike England the Aussie bowlers don't release the pressure with easy runs, Starc used to release it but he doesn't much now.

 

[DaRick]

Ollie Pope looking utterly useless against Lyon, and Cummins nailing Root again was very predictable.

We're at a crucial point in the match - Brook/Stokes can seize the momentum very quickly on a ground like this if we're not careful - but I got the feeling that the wicket isn't as easy to bat on as it might have looked.

Doesn’t Starc average more in Ashes tests in Australia?

Labs is so annoying LOL

 

[satty]

Marnus is something else. How does the bloke have the energy to talk in this heat.

Doesn't waste his energy batting.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Marnus chirping at first slip. Definitely copping a bat to the head in local cricket 4th XI with that annoying dribble.

 

[Plugger35]

Marnus mouthing off, he would piss me off even if he was one of my teammates left alone one of the opposition batsmen.

Spot on here. Archer yesterday, bowling brilliantly. Then had Jacks and Carse bowling garbage down the other end. Archer built up the pressure, then the other muppets would release it.

 

[Aussie pie]

Stfu Marnus my god someone is going to turn around and punch him in the mouth.

Labs with what can be best described as verbal diarrhea
