$5 adults, $2 kids/concessions

 

[HBF]

Please leave Handscomb at 3 for as long as possible.
Let him develop there.

I'd like to think he'd be in the conversation about playing test matches for Australia.

Free at the Gabba - think it varies from venue to venue these days.

Short rain delay here at the G, the Mecca of World sport.

I still really don't understand why the score of the on-strike batsman is smaller (as is their pic) and below that of the non-striker on the CA site.

It makes zero sense to me.

The whole CA live scoring thing is a joke, the fact they use templates for commentary tells you nothing of what is happening, when a wicket falls it's a joke

False shot, to gully, no run...

Clearly I meant while he's in the Vic side.
No more shuffling him around.

The whole site is terrible. That "cut and paste" bot commentary that gives you no idea what actually happened is laughably bad.

and we're still doing the "players photo with folded arms" like it's 1996.

Tremain with the first wicket. Absolutely plumb

Swung back nicely.

I don't understand the logic behind it, a couple of years ago the live text was very good and now it is abhorrent. And surely someone sits there and 'selects' what is copy and pasted (although wouldn't surprise me if it was all automated), in which case wouldn't it take just as much effort to type what actually happened.

Ah yeah i got that. I just think he should be in the conversation for higher honours.

 

[Roysforever]

Can anyone outline the Tassie thinking in their first innings? As I type they have scored 6 runs in 13 overs.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

They're making Silk look like a T20 batsman. Hit the ball at some point fellas.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Tremain with another one trapped absolutely plumb.
Dunk gone.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Well bowled Sidsy. Not very well left Webster.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

That one wasn't as plumb. Looked legsideish.

 

[Roysforever]

Could there possibly be one spectator at the MCG at 10.30pm on a cold Wednesday night?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well bowled Sidsy. Not very well left Webster.

Just seen the highlights, good delivery!

 

[eth-dog]

Wonder if Tassie will get any BP in this game.

 

[eth-dog]

Jesus, Christian has gone gray.

 

[eth-dog]

Yes Duck! Great pressure this afternoon

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Nice low diving catch by Wade.
What's that I can hear??? The sound of perceptions being chipped away.
