Meh get to lunch, it can rain for all I care

 

[BunniesMan]

Umps need to grow some balls. A dash of rain to cook this wicket won't hurt anyone.

I really dislike this Brayshaw fella.

An American style overly patriotic wanker who thinks everything Australian, including the Adelaide Oval bastardisation, is just amazing.

try living in the state where the f**king muppet lives. He's on the f**king radio, on the f**king tv.

He used to be confined to the VFL, but now he's infected cricket. He's as funny as dead cat rotting on a hot tin roof and his 'excitment' is just yelling which generates a reaction of "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP YOU DOPEY f**kING merkin!!"

 

[The Charlatan]

Stupid stupid stupid shot from Warner. That is a disgrace. On this pitch to give away an early wicket like that is disgraceful. For every century he has a moment of madness like that.


There clearly was an argument seeing as I responded to someone who said the opposite of the point I made.


Replying to the person that said he "missed them" as if they had grown legs and walked away.

Warner out, Hughes in for Perth!

You sooks who will whinge about everything, Chappell just said that this pitch looks and plays the same as pitches he's seen for 40 years in Adelaide.

You people make the old Adelaide sound like the Gabba or SCG. It didn't turn square, it didn't seam and bounce like crazy. It has always been a batsman friendly wicket.

It would have to be batsman friendly for Phil Hughes to score a 200

Are you talking about the same Chappell that thought he heard two sounds at a clear play and miss?

We are not comparing the Adelaide oval with any ground other than what the Adelaide Oval used to be.

I don't recall it turning out a pitch as lifeless as this on Day 1 of a test.

You wouldn't know because you don't know anything about cricket.

with the boundaries brought in about 10 metres from the inner circle and the bowlers using tennis balls.

on a concrete pitch.

And no slips fielders allowed

The cricket show is incredibly boring these days

And the short ball banned

and the rule that you can't get given out if you haven't scored a run

 

[Xfactor1979]

Oh boring and tedious shower breaks!

Im going to watch Archer reruns instead courtesy of channel piratebay instead :crazy:

 

[jargan83]

Interview with the Adelaide Oval cruartor on ABC at the moment (I assume as I only switched the radio back on half way through the interview)

 

[madunit]

I missed it as I was listening to BBC and Ian Chappell banging on about Ian Chappell

By time I got to it they were talking about the process involved with moving the pitch into place.

I imagine it might be up on ABC Grandstand later today

 

[madunit]

looking at the pitch, it sounds like an easy process.

Just pour the concrete in the area dug out and top with some cardboard
