Cricket Discussion - Part 3

1 day test match

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I've talked a bit about post 2023 ashes series how poor Oz's top order has been and regular 4 down for bugger all and the lower order and bowlers have saved Oz. This series the results are as follows in the table below. Lets hope the last 6 wickets put on 200+ like in the Gabba and Adelaide Oval and not 101 like at Perth Stadium.

Edit updated for today's play

All out		132	2/205	511	2/65.	371	349	152
4 for		31		291		94	149	51
5 for		76		292		185	311	89
6 for		83		329		244	329	91
Last 6 wickets		101		220		277	200	101
Last 5 wickets		56		219		186	38	63
Last 4 wickets		49		182		127	20	61

Poor batting.

 

[raptalia]

Could be a case of England win the toss and win the game. This deck was that pace friendly that Australia didn't bother picking a front line spinner.

 

[soafraid]

No need for pants pissing, odds are we'll still have a first innings lead

The poms bowled well (particularly Tongue) on a pitch that gave plenty of help to the seamers and there were some very ordinary shots played by a number of the Aussies, but Green gifting his wicket by running so wide and leaving all 3 stumps completely exposed for Carse to aim at instead of reducing the size of the target by running in a straight line along the edge of the pitch was IMO one of the most disappointing dismissals .

3 day test incoming as predicted by Damien Fleming unless someone does something truly great.

 

[Doctor Feel]

They should bazball in all seriousness

They should bazball in all seriousness

They lack the oomph to get it to the boundary.

 

[TazD]

England are shit. May as well play Zimbabwe

 

[Doctor Feel]

HAHAHHAA

 

[soafraid]

They should rename England to shitland. Cos they're shit

 

[Rising Power]

Would love to see Boland grind out a 50 while The Head tonks up a ton

 

[philreich]

Tongue could take a hat trick tomorrow, with the same player being 2 of the wickets.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol this is gonna be over in three days tops

So that is 20 wickets on day one!

This track has strips that are almost as green as my front lawn (I just fertilised it). The Aussies took one look at this pitch and went with an all pace attack. That must tell us something.

I heard an official saying they hoped to break the Test attendance record of over 270,000. I suspect the match will have to go beyond 3 days to achieve that. A crowd of 93,440 on top of the bumper Adelaide crowds show there is still plenty of interest in Test cricket.

Australia, England & India are the big three the interest drops away against everyone else.

The crowds for the 4 Tests against the Kiwis next summer will be fascinating.

Well there’s so many of them living here it’s going to be like a home series for them.

I wonder if any of them have ever seen their team beat Australia - it's an event that's almost as rare as an Essendon finals win.

Yeah they have put up some good performances here.
They have always been competitive with a lot of talent in their side.
As a cricket team they lack the killer instinct always coming across as the good guys.
Total opposite to there Rugby side.

On the BBL, what's happened to Peter Siddle? His last couple of seasons with the Strikers, it felt like he was going for 15 an over and they unsurprisingly cut him loose.

Now at 41 he's going for 6 an over and taking bags of 3 and 4 wickets. It has been some turnaround in form.
