Will the day get rained out?

 

[Nate7]

Along with the tool to tighten sprigs and a can of magic spray so we don't have "physios" coming out onto the ground to disrupt the opponent's concentration (of does that only happen in tennis?).

Clowns who do a weekend course in first aid or massage therapy, "trainers" in tennis.

 

[Samsquanch]

Blewett, Copeland and Ponting will do that

Yeah. We need Skull cracking jokes.

They are too old to be ball kids I suppose.

 

[Samsquanch]

Umpires are far too lenient with those legside wides.

Smith with number 35

Smith with number 35

Number 35, 10,000 runs…. Still in Sri Lanka in front of how ever many… not at home in his SCG…

 

[Marstermind]

I think the best thing I can say about the intensity of this is that it reminds us how good the India series was.

 

[Lomas]

On a spinning pitch most runs will be scored on the leg side by right hand batsmen. Why the surprise?

 

[Samsquanch]

Annndddd.... Rain.

 

[Roostorm]

What in tarnation is this pitch they are playing on….good lord my grandmas ( god rest her soul) backyard with hills hoist, old shhhiihouse and falling down greenhouse looked like the MCG compared to this swamp ….and no lights…. So what they’re going to get the school kids get all the candles out and put in lanterns and hold
Geez.
Agree with above post about the non wide spin deliveries…if that was big bash/ twenty twenty ect it’s a wide every day of the week…call it.
Now rain…with the covers group looking like something from a a cheap opening ceremony sponsored by ray’s outdoors

I stopped reading at ‘tarnation’, but agree.

The problem is, how bad will it be when they are stuck playing Ireland, Bangladesh, West Indies and Afghanistan

 

[Marstermind]

Maybe if the bigger Test nations had some level of commitment to growing the game around the world instead of just growing their own wallets, conditions could be better in places like Galle.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

At the MCG and glad I was in my seat for the start.

 

[Sillygit]

150 for khawaja, 200 partnership, whip lash for me going between both tests.

The Poms declared that as not in the spirit of the game.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

The pitch is so slow. You can just rock on the back foot and have plenty of time to adjust if there's any turn

 

[Samsquanch]

Surely if that ball didn't kiss the Toblerone (not a euphemism) they could have run five. Maybe even six.

 

[gokangas]

Aussies looking to top 500 by the looks of things. Wouldn't want to bat last on this track so reckon they may bat, if they can, until into last session and then have a crack. 600 lead would ensure they don't bat twice you would think.

That's a piece of piss. When you get to 30 you can have a rest.
