Cricket Thread: Aus vs Bangladesh test series... just 4 months away

[skam85]

Starc isn't going to take 9 wickets every test

He may take all 20

 

[Interloperer]

He may take all 20

At this rate he'll have to.

 

[GreyCrow]

Merv Hughes would bowl Brooks a slow yorker

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Reckon this is the slowest over rate i have seen. They are only just over half of the overs needed in 2 sessions.

Under 12 overs per hour is ordinary. Going to be well short, even with overtime.

Guess helps us get to day 3....

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They deliberately bowl slow in day/night tests because it means less bowling during the best batting conditions. Guarantees a 2.5 hour session under lights.

There needs to be a "pitch clock" like they've brought in for baseball

As soon as you fall behind it's a free hit or some other penalty

Doesnt the Captain miss the next Test?

I'm not fully across those rules but I reckon that's rarely enforced

All sorts of bendy-ness to the rule

Eg if we bowl England out tonight before 80 overs I don't think over rates count

They get punished in the World Test Championship standings for each over they are behind. But it doesn't apply if an opponent is bowled out within 80 overs (edit: or if the opponent is bowled out twice within 160 overs total across the match).

But they ads going to give uo at least 10 overs, even with overtime.

Great run-out by Inglis hitting 1 stump. Could be crucial in the context of this match.

Indeed another wicket.

 

[GreyCrow]

Be interesting to see how the tail goes for Root

Happy for Root to miss his hungy but also would be very happy for him if he gets there

With all the noise around it he is a strong character

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Another 5 wicket haul for Starc... again with pink ball too.

Another heap of 3rd umpire replays when only needed one to confirm Carey took a ripper catch.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Our batsmen are going to have a tricky short session under lights tonight.

Starc needs a decent rest.

I never thought he'd be the guy who could carry the bowling group, but he really has

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Smith doing his best to waste time...

Smith doing his best to waste time...

We deserve to get fined really, but we probably wont be

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Given Stokes likes to declare, strange he has let the Australians waste time to protect the batsmen.

What's the lowest number of overs in a complete day without a loss of time?

 

[Cromulant]

Very disappointing end to the day TBH

 

[Cromulant]

What's the lowest number of overs in a complete day without a loss of time?

Very good question

 

[Interloperer]

Given Stokes likes to declare, strange he has let the Australians waste time to protect the batsmen.

He probably realises a free extra 60 runs is better than the moral victory(tm) of playing bazball properly.

 

[StonesThrow]

I've never liked Labuschagne. Seems like an annoying douche. What a dumb play almost spoiling Carey.

First time I've watched Root bat well, which is crazy given he's considered one of the best batsmen of all time.

Fingers crossed Smith and Labuschagne are actually in form because it seems like a decent batting wicket. I think Travis head and Starc masked a typical poor performance in Perth. Can't rely on a couple of players each test given England have a better quality line up than us without Cummins and Hazlewood

 

[adelaidecrows]

As bad an an idea Bazball is, it really does expose B grade bowling and with t20 being a thing B grade bowling is becoming more prevelant. Problem is it also is subject to shit t20 levels of batting which A grade bowlers laugh at.

 

[Vader]

I've never liked Labuschagne. Seems like an annoying douche. What a dumb play almost spoiling Carey.

Not once, but twice. He did his utmost to ensure that Carey dropped the catch off Atkinson, to the point of physically colliding with Carey as he was diving for the ball. He then repeated it a few overs later, with Carey pulling out of an attempted catch, with the ball ending up falling between them.

The rule is very simple. The wicketkeeper has a big set of gloves which makes it much easier for him to catch the ball. Whenever the wicketkeeper is going for a catch the other fielder's job is very simple - get the **** out of the way!

Labuschagne broke that simple rule - not once, but twice.

Very fast and lots of bounce on this Adelaide Oval pitch for the Shield game. Might be a glimpse of what to expect for the third Test.

Would like at least 4 days.
