2nd Ashes Test: Australia v England at Adelaide, Dec 2-6 2017

[Hutty1986]

Now a dropped catch. What a super match Smith is having.

 

[Eelectrica]

dropped by Smith

Wade would have thrown himself at that one ...

And knocked all the way to the boundary in the process

 

[TheParraboy]

This could be the biggest choke of all time.

1998 preliminary final is right up there...sniff

 

[some11]

Aus under lights - ball swinging and seaming a mile

Eng under lights - nothing doing

What gives?

 

[TheParraboy]

We probably need to have them 5 down at stump to be ahead

Not looking likely, we are doomed

 

[TheParraboy]

There it is 50no from Root, will get another 50+

its destiny

 

[Eelectrica]

50 for Root. Determined knock from him.

 

[Eelementary]

Can't believe we are going to lose this match - it's actually mind-blowing!

 

[some11]

Keep fluffing these chances and its game over.

 

[Eelementary]

Lyon needs some help out there - none of our quicks look like doing anything with the ball.

 

[some11]

This is f**king pathetic. They will be chasing 150-160 tomorrow.

 

[Hutty1986]

Starc getting destroyed. Amazing his test average is below 30 this bloke.

 

[Eelectrica]

Can't believe we are going to lose this match - it's actually mind-blowing!

We get Root the rest could come quickly. We're still creating chances gotta take 'em though.
And quit giving away boundaries
Damn that was close too

 

[Pete Cash]

I dont care what cricket australia does if we fail in the ashes but james sutherland and pat howard have to go. How sutherland survived the argus review i will never know

 

[Eelectrica]

Throwing this away now. Panic rising.

 

[some11]

These two are set, rotating the strike and hitting boundaries with ease.

 

[hineyrulz]

The Poms will get these 4 down.

 

[Front-Rower]

Aus under lights - ball swinging and seaming a mile

Eng under lights - nothing doing

What gives?

The pommy bowlers rely on swing to get their wickets and have the technique to achieve. Our quicks hit the wicket and rely on pace. It's why we struggle in England, not the fact the that we can't handle the Duke.

 

[Eelectrica]

Starc not giving away a bunch of boundaries would be good.

 

[Cherry_poppins]

Ffs stop bowling around the wicket you f**king dunce
