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

Even if it's plumb we never get a call and smith has burnt the reviews anyway

 

[Eelectrica]

That looked plumb...
Ah well not out anyway Smith can breathe again.

When they stand their and shoulder arms, it should be as simple as "if it would've hit, start walking"

 

[hineyrulz]

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

Well we handed the game over last night when we refused to put England to the sword. We are getting what we deserve from being far too negative.

 

[Bazal]

Lol batting was nearly impossible for our rabble and tonight poms deadset cruising against this super amazing wonderful all time pace onslaught attack terror fest

Which is exactly why we had to enforce the follow on. New ball in these conditions is nasty. Older ball, can cause trouble but set batsmen can negotiate it too.

These two are playing well enough to negotiate it.

What's the point of trying to trap him lbw, they're not going to give it.

Geeze you throw the towel in early.

There’s been some pretty tinny batting. It can happen. On another day they’d be 8 down by now.

 

[Timbo]

There are some pretty simple looking f**kers in with the Barmys.

 

[hineyrulz]

Another chance missed, this is a derpfest.

 

[Hutty1986]

These pommy wankers in the crowd have about 2 brain cells between them

 

[Eelectrica]

Can't take a trick right now.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Long way from being over, but as a neutral I would love to see England fight back and win this just because it would elevate this series to another level compared to if Australia led 2-0.

 

[Tommy Smith]

STFU Handsplumb.

You're worse than Rob Quiney you plod.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hope the bowling loads are all good when the series is 1 all.

 

[blaza88z]

Root is so easily unsettled by verbals

 

[Tommy Smith]

As compared to the scholars you see at the Gabba, MCG or SCG with their witty "you are a wanka!" chants and Southern Cross tatts.

Doesn't matter how lucky they've been and so blessed with the umpires. Poms favourites if theyre only 3 down at stumps.

 

[Pete Cash]

The simple fact of the matter is that we aren't as good as the press reckoned going into the series. I don't even see how we are better than England. I thought maybe our home advantage might help.

We need to be realistic about how good we are but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be accountability at Cricket Australia. Even if he was doing a wonderful job Sutherland has been in the role for a long time. Some new blood would be good anyway.

And a guy like Pat Howard should never be in that position.

I know I go on about it but why is some old ruggers merkin anywhere near the role of performance manager in Australian cricket. Has he even played a game of cricket in his life ???

 

[Tommy Smith]

So is Tommy

These English plods are getting my hopes up but we all still know it'll end in defeat.

A bit like being led on at a nightclub by a piece of hot clunge only to be given the cold shoulder in the moment of truth
