2nd Test: Australia v England at Adelaide Dec 5-9, 2013

[Pete Cash]

I'm glad the commentators are focusing on Watson and his awful rotating the strike.

 

[Timbo]

Gotta keep the strike turning over.

 

[Pete Cash]

This stokes character looks like he will be lucky to escape this test with his skin not burning off his body from the sun.

 

[The Charlatan]

Well that was a silly thing to say wasn't it.

:lol:

 

[Timbo]

Or that. Just do that.

 

[Armageddon.]

Unlucky mr turban

 

[Fufu Andronez]

F*ck that would annoy the fast bowler

 

[Pete Cash]

Watson is such an oaf.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Another one of those sluggish pitches where you need a tall spinner (eg sulieman benn) to persist and dig a few wickets out (6 for 170 something odd a few years back)
Scoring is slow too, batsmen are hard to get out, nor will they score quickly

 

[Xfactor1979]

Not that I will be watching but what will the flogball look like with the new parameters/ settings for the ground?

 

[Timbo]

Do you reckon they've been ordered to talk incessantly about the 1% of the ground that hasn't been completely f**ked up?

 

[Armageddon.]

Great hand-eye coordination from Stokes

 

[Xfactor1979]

The pitch is made for a player like chris rogers. Scratching around for a 250 ball 100 or something

 

[Timbo]

Swann would have to be worried about his place the way Monty is bowling.

 

[madunit]

we're almost scoring at 3 an over, so even with Watson's inability to rotate the strike, scoring doesn't seem to be too tough.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Its addition by subtraction for the afl in adelaide, they used to play at a 50000 seat stadium, and now they play at a 40000 (or less?) Capacity adelaide oval

West lakes was a dinosaur for a venue in adelaide, difficult to access by public transport.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Give us a smile Wato

 

[Pete Cash]

f**k the poms whinge about the ball

 

[Armageddon.]

Ball looks okay to me

 

[Timbo]

Stop f**king whinging and bowl. They said no, get the f**k on with it.
