Australia v India, 1st Test at Adelaide Oval Dec 6-10.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Yeah who was going to keep if not for Paine if sandpaper gate didn't happen?

Smith, Bancroft or Warner I guess

 

[Slysh]

Great reply, really does well to prove the point you’re trying to make.

Who do you suggest would be getting a game ahead of him?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Actually wouldn't mind if we ended up bowling today even though it's stinking hot.

When it's this hot the moisture in the wicket gets sucked up to the surface quickly. Can do a fair bit in the first hour unexpectedly. The moisture obviously doesn't last long and it will flatten out but it's amazing how often teams get knocked over in very hot conditions.

Having said that, it would be a bold move to win the toss and bowl!

Probably Wade as he seems hellbent to drop the whole side for him lol

Chief would need to buy 3-4 more servers if we win the toss and bowl first.

Ch7 switching between commentators at a rate of knots, it's like they have to give them all some airtime to justify having so many but it's all over the place.

Still better than 9

They have to do that to showcase their talent early on, but I don't mind the coverage itself, seems fresher than Ch 9 that's for sure

Can't comment on Fox as I don't have it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Both coverages have commentators I hate- channel 7 have less I guess. Any coverage minus Warne and his dirty rotten pizzas is good

 

[LukeParkerno1]

A bit early to make that call but no Healy is a positive.

Plus Warne. Can't stand the egoistical bloke one bit.

 

[Andronicus]

I'm nervous going in with only 4 bowlers when 3 of them are so injury prone.

Still better than playing MMarsh who averages 20 and not even half that recently...and the bloke barely bowls anyway.

M Wade

Paine as a 34 year old has not done enough to warrant continued selection moving forward. He’s now protected with the big C next to his name.

 

[HBF]

Plus Warne. Can't stand the egoistical bloke one bit.

He's ok when he just talks about the game. Its all the other stuff that is greatly annoying.

 

[Smoooothy]

the 4 on fox at the moment, I like it. gilly, bogle, mark waugh and michael vaughan

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Australia would have gone in a different direction wicketkeeping wise. Paine is 34 and his average is better

Called it lol

You want to bring back the WORST keeper in recent history...yeah thank the lord you aren't a selector. The options are Paine or Carey...and one isn't ready. Carey has a stack of potential but he's barely averaging 15 this Shield season.

 

[Jimmy#17]

Who is everyone choosing as their cricket channel of choice?
Fox or 7.

I'm fox purely on no ads, crucial element.

Starting with 7 to see what it’s like. May switch to fox pretty early.

 

[Struggle]

So are they having two competing coverages? Or is it just pregame like Friday night footy

 

[danielnajdek]

Lol we never win the toss

 

[Jimmy#17]

Well we’re bowling.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dead set...

Have we won a toss this year?

 

[Jimmy#17]

Completely different commentary teams.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

7 don’t even show the toss worst broadcaster of sport

Paine is averaging close to 40 with the bat... Far far from awful and a significant upgrade over Wade with the gloves.

 

[HBF]

Paine loses yet another toss. FMD!

Anyone is better than Wade I still have nightmares about him keeping!
