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

[Hutty1986]

You can’t be below par for two years when we’ve only played 6 test matches in that time. That’s a summer.

Also he killed it in ODI’s in 2020.

1 hundred in his past 11 tests isn't it? He's still the best test bat in the world imo, but he'd be disappointed in that kind of run

Ponting: Langer said it's the best he's seen Harris bat before the game.

Enough of this "hitting them well in the nets" shit. They trot out that line every time a batsman is on the verge of being dropped.

He has had a bit of a lean run, what I meant was it’s not a true two year dip in form because of the lack of tests. Even 11 tests we’d generally play over just one year.

With the over rates, I wonder if they take into account hot weather, double drinks break per season etc...

If they did, Im all for play starting 30 min earlier today so as not lose overs

Our cricket group chat were joking last night about the over rates that england must love volunteer work.

And they had 2 choices pick jack leach or not get paid.

A bit hot under the horse blanket today

A bit hot under the horse blanket today

A real man wears his horse blanket no matter how hot it is! Heatstroke is for the weak and the selfish, like Steve Waugh and Donald Bradman. They got heatstroke every match, even in the Northern English autumn. They never even had to face John Snow, he would have given them more than heatstroke let tell you

Blistering first ball by Anderson to kick start day 2

Speaking of John Snow, a man as old as him starts day 2 with the pinkie.

Why the black armbands for Australia today?

[jargan83]

Story time with Chaps already into the anecdotes about Bradman, Barnes, McCabe and Ponsford

 

[TheParraboy]

We need to up the run rate

3rd new ball due in 67 overs

 

[TheParraboy]

Barmy army running late or day off?

 

[hineyrulz]

That ball went through the surface, good luck batting last on this.


100 to Marnus the maniac

 

[TheParraboy]

Ton up for Marnus, making the poms pay

2/236

 

[Hutty1986]

Oh Marnus my Marnus

 

[Bazal]

Jeez, that's a, er, spitting cobra! I, er, haven't seen a ball like that since, er John Snow er, bowled on a, er, pitch that had only been covered by a bunch of, er, horse blankets in 1947

 

[Bazal]

Good knock you hilariously weird little gremlin.
