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

[V23]

two quick ones and you’d feel good quickly

We still talking cricket?

 

[Bedi]

…but the bottom four batters aren’t as good as the top seven

well we did just witness Eng's highest 9th wicket stand in 100 years v Aust

 

[hawkman]

Any chance we bring point up

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Around the wicket isnt working for Starc but he cant go over because of the warnings

 

[Bucking Beads]

It looks like the pitch is getting flatter. The problem is we didn't have a big enough lead to be more attacking or are just choosing to set ultra defensive fields..

 

[Gethelred]

Who said that?

It was one of the comms on Ch.7, dunno which one. Tried to make out that Carey missed the stumping chance on a ball going through the gully region off Brook's pad.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Any chance we bring point up

Maybe they want to encourage opening the face, for the chance of a knick?
edit : I'm not sure I believe that, but maybe.

 

[Wrangeroos]

What happened I went to the toilet?

Hemorrhoids??

 

[danielnajdek]

Any chance we bring point up

One of the things I hate about Cummins' captaincy.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

What happened I went to the toilet?

If you don't know, somebody is in for a shock when they do the cleaning.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Another 50 partnership for England

 

[Hawks1994]

Looking fairly comfortable for the batsmen out there
Pitch isn't offering a whole heap

 

[MisterMarcus]

See the contrast between Crawley and Brook.

Crawley looks like he can be patient - he can punish the poorer balls but will respect the good balls.

Brook looks unable to do this - tie him down for a couple of overs and he seems compelled to start manufacturing these weird low-percentage shots.

 

[Plugger35]

The Poms know how to reverse sweep.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We are back to struggling again

 

[The Lobbster]

So ****ing flat. Hope the ticket sales are worth it

 

[FreoRicci]

Very crap from Head

 

[jb04]

Hmm Trav starting to leak runs too.

What is plan C?

 

[GrumpyGoron]

I’m calling game

 

[Visions]

Just going through the motions is the bowling attack.

 

[Substance]

We need to slow the scoring here.

 

[Neese]

Eek Trav, not a great over

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

England are going to win if this gets below 250 at Stumps


We just dont have answers to a set batsmen

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We ****ed this morning up badly.

Left 100 runs out there easily.

 

[FreoRicci]

Get Green on.
