Test The Ashes Third Test December 17-21 1000hrs @ The Adelaide Oval

[Pistol Night]

Archer isn’t a very good bowler, reputation made on England pitches pre bazball, done zero since, speed isn’t everything..

Being express pace with zero planning only gets you so far

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good first over from Carse
Getting some movement. A bit "hoopy" though, swinging quite early

 

[kickazz]

Should be God save the prince coz he ****n needs it at the moment

Shaun tait would very much agree with that sentiment.

Express? The bloke trundles in 2 overs a test at express the rest are 135km nothings

[Hawksboy72]

Yeah because there’s something going on. Wait until there nothing going on champion.

 

[ptrg]

Mark Waugh already starting the mental disintegration of Archer.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Every over cooks them more lads

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Like the quick singles

Poor Ussie wouldn’t have run one of them

 

[ptrg]

New tactic the poms weren’t expecting!

Sneaky singles with Head at the crease!

 

[satty]

No wickets in either second innings is incredibly damning for Archer. Just does not have the stamina or the mental fortitude to back up after the first innings.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Has David Saker coached much in Australia?

 

[Pistol Night]

Like the quick singles

Poor Ussie wouldn’t have run one of them

Poor old campaigner would be still be in the rooms looking for his gloves

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Have the batters called for gloves yet?

 

[Pistol Night]

No wickets in either second innings is incredibly damning for Archer. Just does not have the stamina or the mental fortitude to back up after the first innings.

I’ve never seen a bowler more suited to just playing T20 before

 

[Black Diamond]

Who had Weatherald for teh first boundary?

I had 5-wides

you can tell the bloke is fragile mentally.

In Perth, even when getting spanked, the Pom deep fielders interacted with the crowd, even if very briefly/signing autographs etc.
When Joffa came down, zilch. Guy wouldn’t even turn around to have his drink - everything was done facing the wicket - was actually quite comical.

But he obviously isn’t mentally tough. Credit to the crowd, no one crossed the line verbally, but geez he was called out for not ever turning to face us (or sign the waiting kids autographs like the other poms did)

 

[CakeEater]

One more over of Jofra then time for his Smoko

 

[Peter Bixley]

Nice to not be 0-0 after 3 overs.

 

[Black Diamond]

Archer lucky to not be no-balled for that full toss. Would love to see it from side-on.

Is the rule still two in an innings and you're out?

 

[Pistol Night]

Travis!!

 

[satty]

It is the back of a length deliveries that have really seamed a lot.
