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

[I'm a loser baby...]

Quality innings from Paine. Just needs someone to hang around with him.

Seems like a decent bloke. I'd hang around with him.

Hey the Ox can umpire when he pays attention

 

[hineyrulz]

He hit it Tucker you Gronk, how bad are you if Ox is the number 1 seed.

 

[undertaker]

Well our top order all shit their pants at the crease today.

It was a bad blunder from JL to open with Burns and Wade. If JL has his head screwed on correctly, he surely cannot open with Wade/Burns in the 4th innings.

Yes, in test matches you need an opening combination that can see off the new ball, but at the same time you need opening batsmen to build a foundation from which the remainder of the innings can be established on. Think of what opening pairs such as Greenidge/Haynes, Hayden/Langer, Taylor/Slater, Cook/Strauss were able to achieve.

Wade only getting 8 from 51 balls and Burns 8 from 41 balls didn't do their teammates a favour at all. Scoring at such a painfully slow rate, Wade constantly wearing body blows sent a nervous tension and vibe which then rubbed off on other players (e.g. Smith) after they got out.

Warne thought he was plumb. Oxenford gives a right decision of not out and the merkin still bags him.

 

[jargan83]

Don't bowl that shit to the GOAT

 

[Hutty1986]

India still 4,000 miles ahead and their flog fans are still whinging on cricinfo

 

[Bazal]

Haha Lyon farming the strike

 

[undertaker]

Oxendud is having a

If this is the best crop going around in world cricket today, the ICC really needs to throw a lot of money at Simon Taufel to come out of retirement to officiate the remainder of this test series.

Warne thought he was plumb. Oxenford gives a right decision of not out and the merkin still bags him.

Warne really is human filth these days.

 

[Bazal]

Why did short leg not move 23cm and catch that?

 

[Bazal]

Warne really is human filth these days.

Completely untrue....

He's more like plastic android filth

 

[hineyrulz]

Haze with a Kooka Ridgeback, i did my best work with one of those. Gee i'm old.

 

[undertaker]

With 1 wicket to go, Tim Paine has to take as much of the strike as possible.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Great selections from aust selectors. Opening with deeps we’ve derped it up.

Slazenger V600 for me mate.

Had one since I was 18. Different versions obviously. They basically don't make them anymore so I'm dreading the day the crack in this one finally gives way

 

[Hutty1986]

With 1 wicket to go, Tim Paine has to take as much of the strike as possible.

All of it. Haze is absolutely terrible.

 

[Bazal]

I almost think Paine has a slap now. If he can crack 15 quick runs and we can have ten overs at them, we're a chance of clawing back.
