2nd Ashes Test: Australia v England D/N @ Adelaide 16-20, 2021

[Smug Panther]

I've seen enough. Bye bye Starc, hello Jhhhyyye

 

[Eelectrica]

Harris hitting them well in the nets confirmed.
Century any innings now. You'll see.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Pointless if so, he was born with entirely internalised testicles.

Hence Gutful

You just wait till I have the operation. I'll f**k you up!

Once the stitches have been removed of course...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Marcus Harris 0.5/10 Horrific, almost as bad as a raiders set play
David Warner 8/10 White man can't jump
Marnus Labuschagne 9/10 Weirdo with another hundred
Steve Smith 8/10
Travis Head 6.5/10 played ok
Cameron Green 6.5/10 Scored one of the great 30s against a tired attack when his team was a thousand runs ahead
Alec Carey 6/10 batted ok but waded up a bit with the gloves
Michael Neser 6/10 Decent debut.
Mitchell Starc 7/10 Saved by the pink ball again
Jyyyiiiieeehhhh Richardson 7/10 looked constipated for most of the game but vital wickets second dig
Nathan Lyon 17/10 I dared to give him a low score last time so bonus points this time for living with baldness

Wtf? Unbelievable

Warne was out walking on his stumps in 2005 in England after getting well set. Australia lost by 2 runs.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Joe Root must love coming down under.

Got dropped in 2013/14
Got heat stroke in 2017/18
Got hit in the jatz cracks twice in one day on this tour

And he has Played 11 tests lost 10 of them and one draw and still hasnt made a 100 either.

 

[This Year?]

I just started watching before the end of the 3rd session on channel 7. I'm pretty drunk and confused. Have gone from white shirt and pink ball which looks about as big as a softball on TV to coloured shirt and white ball, then back to white shirt and pink ball.
Pom who has faced more balls than Jeff Stryker in his entire career suddenly forgets where his stumps are gets himself out against a bloke who looks like he could be poster boy for mental illness.
Pock faced guy bowls with the same direction I have with a golf club and the last partnership lasts a couple of overs before he ends up getting squared up by mental patient.
Captain talks to a talking camera in the post game interview then back to the coloured shirt white ball game, where a bearded man who looks like the guy from 300 gets himself out.
How f**king unwoke is that?
I need another drink!

 

[TheParraboy]

Jimmy stuck on 100 not outs..

Joe Root must love coming down under.

Got dropped in 2013/14
Got heat stroke in 2017/18
Got hit in the jatz cracks twice in one day on this tour

And he has Played 11 tests lost 10 of them and one draw and still hasnt made a 100 either.

And somewhere in amongst that Davey clobbered him in the head

 

[Sphagnum]

Cameron green’s performance in the field was first class. Just doesn’t miss anything. Saw him sweeping at one point too and it was straight over the bails stuff. Really starting to like him.

 

[Twizzle]

so Haze looks like missing the third test as well, Richardson should be retained on form ahead of Neser you would think and Captain Paddy comes back in

 

[marshall stalin]

Khawaja for Harris ?- I think they will stick with Harris for the 3rd Test but he will need to get runs though - He's the new Joe Burns - how long do they stick with him

Likely Team

Warner
Harris or Khawaja
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Green
Carey
Cummins
Stark or Richardson/Neser
Lyon
Hazelwood or Richardson/Neser

Sean Abbott would be a chance in Sydney perhaps

England need to look at their openers and middle order for starters as Burns/Hameed and Pope are not Test players and look like getting out most balls

England could do no worse than bringing back Bairstow to open along with Buttler and giving Crawley and Lawrence a game

Possible England 11

Bairstow
Buttler
Malan
Root
Lawrence
Crawley
Stokes
Bess
Wood
Broad
Anderson

 

[The_Frog]

Likely Team

Warner
Harris or Khawaja
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Green
Carey
Cummins
Stark or Richardson/Neser
Lyon
Hazelwood or Richardson/Neser

Cummins-Starc-Hazlewood if all are fit. Starc will not be dropped or even rested unless he is injured. He led the attack with aplomb. Haze is doubtful and Richardson would take his place. Harris needs to go, not sure Us is the one though.

Australia's fast bowling stocks looking good as ever.

 

[Meth]

Cummins reckons he is ok

 

[hineyrulz]

Calvin Shoddy is on, FFS!!
