1st Test: Australia v West Indies @ Adelaide Oval Jan 17-19, 2024

[This Year?]

That hit Graeves flush on the anaconda and he didn't flinch. Ball night need changing though.

Just reminded me that I need to go to Anaconda and stock up on tackle.

 

[Fangs]

Best figures of 6/67 for Haze.

Chance to better that by a mile here.

 

[This Year?]

Well done Alison. I would have picked Ambrose.

 

[This Year?]

Great. Now we'll be stuck with re-runs of Idol and Home and Away for 3 days.

Stone the flamin' crows Ailsa.

 

[Bazal]

Well that was underwhelming

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Wicket for the talented, sexy, and likeable Watto who doesn’t always look like he’s ready to burst into tears.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

The biggest partnership of this test has been the WI 10th wicket and there’s been 25 wickets ffs

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Is there a reason this game started on a Wednesday? Barely going to reach Friday let alone the weekend.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Windies have clearly booked a day out at the Barossa Valley tomorrow

Because the weekends in Adelaide are strictly reserved for serial murdering

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, Katich burning Shane Watson as the worst reviewer of all time.

 

[Bazal]

Lol Ian Smith putting the openers on blast for not carrying this trash team like it's easy to chuck ten nuffies on your back and got for broke.

Never mind the only thing Smithy's ever carried is a heavily full brown paper bag with golden arches on it

He has a point though, especially Braithwaite needs to do more, Crowe was doing it at the end of Smith’s career. These fellas aren’t the same class obviously but for better or worse it’s on the top few with the bat

and to be fair , he was a quality test keeper who stayed in great shape and resisted the buffet until retirement

Sure but was Crowe doing it every single game?

And was Crowe a veteran of all of 8 tests like Junior Chanderpaul?

I just think it's hugely rich to criticise the one class player and the one other rando who's managed a Test tonne (against Zimbabwe) for not carrying the other spud bats at all times.

 

[King hit]

Because the weekends in Adelaide are strictly reserved for serial murdering

And barrel purchasing

 

[Twizzle]

Amazing spell by Haze this afternoon, this pitch made for him.

The Windies should reverse their batting order for the Gabba

Expected more from Chanderpaul, he was OK last time he was here for a rookie, averaged 51

 

[bazza]

this is just like the Australia v WI matches in the 80s - just the teams have swapped over

 

[isaiah]

I don’t remember Tuesday

Is this current bowling attack better than pidge, dizzy, shane, and kasper?

 

[mozza91]

West Indies looking to be 8 or 9 down early tomorrow so they can score some runs.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Is this current bowling attack better than pidge, dizzy, shane, and kasper?

No any attack with Warne is better.
Cummins is almost on par with McGrath tho, both make our all time 11 along with DK
