1st Test: Australia v India at Adelaide Dec 17-21 2020

[Wizardman]

Yet those same people will tell you how good a nil all draw in the EPL was...

anyhoo get them 4 out before the next break under 100 and I can’t see anything but an Australian win

Absolutely true!

My dad was born in a non-cricket playing nation and would not have seen cricket at all until he moved to Australia.
He loved to watch a one day match but could not stomach test match cricket at all. Dad just could not wrap his head around a concept that has a game go for up to five days, large amounts of time where the ball is not getting bashed plus a high probability of a draw at the end of it. It just didn't click with him at all.

The funny part of all of that was he was huge into cycling. The event he loved to watch the most was some big bicycle race in France which he was GLUED to the tv for a whole 23 nights straight....lol.

Story time with Old man Chaps on the ABC

I actually love story time watching/listening to the cricket..

What are they talking about?

 

[8Ball]

If Wade was test captain Kohli would be gone and India 3 down

Well seeing as you asked, he was talking about Dennis Lillee and Sunil Gavaskar, then something about a XI from Glenelg.

Was just talking about Mohammed Azarudeen and now Arthur Richardson securing Chaps a contract somewhere in England I think (I missed the location)

Momentum turning now, slowly...

I love it how Paine ironically yells ‘catch it’ when the ball is near Wade.

haha

Weird how we are wired

Cant stand NFL, games can go around 4 hrs. But love my 5 day test cricket

Have a muslim friend (now in his mid 40s) who came to Australia in 2004. Never watched cricket let alone test cricket, big soccer fan EPL. But cricket intrigued him, he ended up loving the game straight away, Loves test cricket over and beyond the other formats.

37 " five fors" and 10 " ten fors "

Warnie may be a punish but he is the closest thing to a magic trick that cricket has ever seen

Feels like the game is just drifting towards twilight

How wonderful!!

Much better than Mark “great shot” Howard stating the obvious or Adam “splinters in his arse” Gilchrist not wanting to offend anyone...

Recommendation to all - if not already listen to the Grade Cricketer interview with Ian Chappell. It’s awesome. But also Greg Chappell who is probably the best guest I’ve heard them have on - which surprised no one more than me..

He's just trolling him.

Chaps remembers when the Captain Cook XI played the Indigenous XI

 

[hineyrulz]

If Wade didn't have arms like a T Rex he might have caught that.

I've got that episode in my queue at the moment so I'll get to it sometime over the weekend.

If Wadey was faster, taller and more skillfull he might have got that.

 

[hineyrulz]

That was an outstanding over from Lyon, he should bowl that line much more often.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Imagine how good a bowler Lyon would be if he had hair.

Great Australian bowling has hid the fact that this is a very flat track
