2nd Ashes Test: Australia v England @ The Gabba Thu Dec 4-8, 2025

It's not about this partnership even

We have just let the poms know we were too scared to bat tonight

That's the sort of shit you pounce on as an opponent

I care more about the frivolous runs we’ve concede as opposed to what England think of us. They knew our batting was fragile before tonight.

 

[Sphagnum]

Set a proper field you fkn moron. These two are piling runs on here

 

[some11]

That's just what Head will score on this road

Dont judge it until we bat. We can be very brainless.

This is pretty much the same as letting some rando f**k someone you love while sitting in the cuck chair scrolling through your phone.

I'd rather Souths sign Sean Keppie to a 10 year $1m a season contract than have to sit through a session like this again

Jokes on them I'm incapable of love

Actually you know what? This session probably needs a stumping off a quick to really make it the most cursed session ever, let's make it happen

Well I suppose the net positive is that this game will definitely last longer than 2 days.

That’s incredibly optimistic of you

A huge joke the Aussies couldn't take the last wicket tonight.

Depends if England enforce the follow on

Welp...that last session showed why Smith was really banned from captaincy. It was a conspiracy to get him out of the role.

Probably very damaging to our chances in the match, but the deck still looks good and second day Gabba is generally the best for batting so the game's still there if we're good enough.

I wonder what the over-rate penalty is going to be (re: WTC points)?

I'm balding quick enough as it is as a Souths supporter, I don't need this shit too

 

[mozza91]

God that was a terrible effort today from Smith. Will need to ton up tomorrow to make up for it.

Has there ever been a worse side at bowling to the tail than us?

 

[Fangs]

Good to see England show some spine.

But questionable tactics from Australia. That past hour was putrid.

I've noticed the way the ball behaves for pink-ball tests at the Gabba has been different from pink-ball tests held at Adelaide Oval.

- At Adelaide Oval - as well as the one-off pink-ball tests held at Perth and Hobart - the ball moved around a lot after sunset, regardless of whether it is old or new.

- At the Gabba (especially observed during the test last year vs West Indies, and also the test vs Pakistan in 2016 when they nearly chased down 490 in the 4th innings), the ball only moves around when it's hard. Once it goes soft, it doesn't do much, even at night.
