3rd Ashes Test: Australia v England @ Adelaide Oval Dec 17-21, 2025

[Twizzle]

I'm a bit late to the snicko party. How did the operator f**k it up?

From what I understand, he pressed the wrong button, and the sniko edge/spike was shown to have spiked before the ball got to the bat.

So when the ball passed the bat, there was no spike, and it couldn't be given out. There may be more to it than that, but that is what was posted on the socials.

 

[Fangs]

Invaluable runs late in the innings.

We going to actually see some Bazball now? They haven't shown it with the bat all summer.

 

[Twizzle]

Just remember the golden rule now England.

When Careys hangin' around
But sure to stay in your ground
He'll even take the bails during a break

did your primary school mates tell you this ?

 

[BunniesMan]

Why are they running off the ground in this heat? What is the purpose of spending that extra energy? Such a stupid showy thing to do for no reason

 

[Bazal]

Much more comfortable with that score than what we were looking at. Within touching distance of par, if not right on r given how the pitch might break up in the heat

That's his story.

How after using the technology for that long do you suddenly "press the wrong button"

To warm up you dropkick

They're saying he listened used the audio from the stump mic at the wrong end.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Duckett under 24.5 runs, if we're gonna lose be as well making some money off of it.

It's NRL bunker level of incompetence from the official.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Interesting stats when Jofra Archer comes up against Australia

4 innings with no Smudge - 16 wickets @ 10.62 with 2 x 5 wkt hauls
9 innings with Smudge batting - 14 wickets @ 35.71 with 1 x 5 wkt haul

This dribble in the UK that Archer has Smiths measure.

Its almost like he is 3 times worse off when Smudge is batting.

When Smudge isn't there Jofra has destroyed us

It's certainly a story - one that defies the laws of physics. My bet is they have NFI what happened and are scrambling to make it sound like they do.

Gnome can’t even nick it high enough

The visual evidence was absolutely clear anyway. Only the English could make a storm this big in a teacup this small.

How hard is it to accept that there's actually a lot of noise on a cricket field?

For the life of me I don’t understand how Poms came to be known as whingers

If Bazball is ever going to work in Australia it will be today. Dead donkey of a pitch. Not a cloud in the sky. In the extreme heat our quicks will get tired sooner. We should have got 400+. They should get 400+.

Crawley, Brook and Root will ton up and England will get 500+.
Just need Parraboy to confirm it.

I take this bloater Ducketts under and he turns into Sachin

 

[yobbo84]

Cummins looks (understandably) short a gallop

Ah I see you have the same gambler's gift that I have too.
