Cricket Discussion - Part 3

Can't shake the feeling all of the optimism from last night will be washed away in the sunshine with Stokes at the crease.

It's the sort of thing he would do.

They’ve had to push a lot of sh¡t uphill just to get back to even.

A wicket’s coming.

Ashes should all be red ball cricket. Leave pink ball tests for the Indian series or RSA

100% the India test last summer was tons of fun. I only went for the first few days tho.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

At least Root got his first century down under in 31 attempts to remove that asterisk from his record.

As good as the urn, really.

And the good thing for him is that it won't show Australia was missing three bowlers among the top half dozen who have dismissed him the most times - Cummins (11), Hazelwood (10) and Lyon (8). At least Starc (11) was there.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It's taken 5 days of Ashes cricket across 2 Tests to finally get a day that resembles Test cricket.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Ian Chappell said that if you can't dismiss a team with 3 fast bowlers why would you pick 4? Some odd selections coming back to put a little bit of pressure on Australia. Too clever by half.

Insane catch

Neser getting a 5for on his home deck.

Incredible story of perseverance

 

[GremioPower]

When does England arrive for the Ashes?

 

[RangaInTeal]

100’s in losing sides don’t mean squat… Well done Joe!

 

[GremioPower]

Is today “Day-Night” just to avoid playing tomorrow?

Wait. Were stomps called? I’m not watching it. Google just says it’s “Dinner”.

There’s a chance for him now to keep his place.
I reckon Hazelwood is just about finished sadly.
I like the look of Weatherald also, looks a real test opener.

Can't believe that Mark Waugh was even discussing the possibility of Khawaja being brought back for Adelaide. This is our most promising opening partnership for some time, and the selectors would be crazy to go back to what's failed so miserably of late.

 

[240volt]

Yeah sadly with Khawaja out there you’re just waiting for his wicket to fall.
Weatherald looks like he’s been doing this for years.
Has a totally different feel with him in the middle.

The 3rd umpire reviewer: "No more than one unmarketable tomato"

 

[bomberclifford]

Nice smash to end it.

" im going to get you're u.s.a visa cancelled" - Archer

Steve Smith

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Did enjoy the byplay between Smith and Archer. Where was that pace in the first innings?

Good solid win and now Cummins and Lyon come back in.

Double century for Nathan McSweeney in the Australia A game was a handy reminder to selectors of his ability.

 

[philreich]

Not sure when we play South Africa next, but it'll be compulsive viewing when it happens - bring it on!!!

Good to see Smith giving Archer some shit.
All been to friendly like for my likings.
You’d never see Postman Pat say bugger all.

Entertainment wise hopefully adds some spice and extra competitiveness to the poms side.

 

[jb04]

I'm so very keen for the Adelaide test, it would be a brilliant toss to win.

I'd love to see a ton from one of the top four.
