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

More people at the AO by day 3 than NM will get all of 2026.

North fans wrapping up their last day of work for the year:

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Marnus our for smith next test

It's the obviously sensible choice seeing as he has been sh*t for 3 years now and has not justified his re-selection.

But neither the selectors nor the talking heads who cover this sport are sensible and Labuschagne's name won't even be considered by either.

 

[Struggle]

No need to rush Konstas back in

Let him work on his game at Shield and County cricket over the next 12-18 months and hope he dominates and then look at bringing him back to the fold. Got too many weaknesses in his game to succeed at Test level for now

Sure, but think of how good it will be to see him attempt to ramp Archer in the first over

Settle Trav

 

[compact72]

Archer looks competely gassed

 

[grumbleguts]

The ideal scenario for a lot here is for us to dominate every session - so that we can complain about the opposition not challenging our worst side in many years. That's cricket utopia.

Our worst side in years, and they schedule a minnow country.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

So you are keeping Khawaja in the side,playing him at 3 and keep Weatherald as a opener.Lets wait till the end of the test and know the result first.If it is 3 0 going into the Melbourne test I would seriously look at bringing Konstas back and certainly bring Kellaway into the 15 man squad but not into the final 11 for him just yet.

Yeah keep Usman in somewhere

 

[icyflakes]

The later Stokes brings himself on to bowl, the more injured everyone assumes he must be

The trick is if the camera isn't on Stokes to watch him suffer with his hands on his knees, the public won't know that he is injured. If no one knows he's injured he won't put himself on.

 

[Pistol Night]

Didn't mind Alyssa Healy hanging shit on Mitch Starc in the lunch break on Fox in a playful way

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is Duckett being punished for those dropped gully sodas?

On boundary riding duty since

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How do we rate Khawaja having his top button done up?

Good commentator actually says some different things that aren't stupid like Haydos et al

 

[icyflakes]

How do we rate Khawaja having his top button done up?

It's constant, the man doesn't know the meaning of the word airflow.

 

[Scorpus]

How do we rate Khawaja having his top button done up?

Good if he gets runs, bad if he doesn't

 

[Pistol Night]

How do we rate Khawaja having his top button done up?

Not a fan. Dennis Lilley would be beside himself with this nerdery

 

[Anzacpaul]

How do we rate Khawaja having his top button done up?

He can go a Dennis Lillee open collar and Warwick Capper shorts for all I care as long as he makes runs.

 

[Peter Bixley]

How do we rate Khawaja having his top button done up?

Poor man's Ponting.

 

[Pistol Night]

Shes knows her stuff. As you'd expect from a gun player

 

[badgrill]

Brooks supressing his inner Marnus

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not a fan. Dennis Lilley would be beside himself with this nerdery

He should wear a tie

 

[Leon Higgins]

It's the obviously sensible choice seeing as he has been sh*t for 3 years now and has not justified his re-selection.

But neither the selectors nor the talking heads who cover this sport are sensible and Labuschagne's name won't even be considered by either.

He is back to his worst inside a month. It's about toxic masculinity. Khawaja is targeted because, he is not their idea of a cricketer.

 

[madjoe]

30mins to tea?

 

[icyflakes]

Not a fan. Dennis Lilley would be beside himself with this nerdery

He'd be rolling in his grave with Cummins storing his giganerd energy in his solar batteries.

 

[Pistol Night]

He can go a Dennis Lillee open collar and Warwick Capper shorts for all I care as long as he makes runs.

Im just picturing Uz in a pair of skin tight white shorts and the open neck shirt batting in a baggy green. **** yes

 

[Bedi]

He should wear a tie

a bow tie too
