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

Its f**king rubbish.

When it comes to steve smith bowling; its definitely the case that you dont have to bowl the best ball to get someone out in cricket

 

[BunniesMan]

Its f**king rubbish.

You're allowing your bias to cloud your judgement. Good batting has been rewarded. Quality fast bowling has been rewarded. And even a part timer is getting significant turn.

The pitch started out flat as and now into day 4 it is provided value for bowlers. Just like any good test wickets.

Its always been crap BM and it hasn't gotten any less crap. I honestly hate this test match. its boring and predictable. If it wasn't for England batting like cowards we would be looking down the barrel of a bore draw. I am not even attacking it as a drop in. I am saying the Adelaide Oval is shithouse and should lose test status.

:lol: Are you sure?? I am shitting bricks atm. Another quick fire 200 runs in overthrows and England are back on top.

:lol:

Yep, Harris' arm found the boundary once, why not another 75 times? We need to keep it tight. Again, wouldn't have had these problems if we set the Poms 1,000 to win like Captain Bowel Movement would have.

Back in the real world though, how arsey is Stokes ATM.

I disagree regarding Stokes. I think he's shown that he has the technique and application to play at this level especially as it's his first test against a red hot Aussie attack.

The fact that it is boring is not the bloody stadiums fault. If England caught some basic catches and then didn't bat like spastics this would have been a competitive game.

And these changes will only result in Adelaide having a better chance of keeping test cricket there. There is talk of 4 test summers in the future in non Ashes seasons. And because of these changes it has almost guaranteed that if/when 4 test summers happen it'll be Perth that drops off the list.

80% chance of rain tomorrow

This is the way its gonna play out folks.....

Rain saves mighty Ingerland yet again
We go to Perth where we smack their rear ends again and series is 2-0

Now, we need to draw one more test to regain the ashes

Either MCG or SCG test Clarke in one of our innings instructs us to bat for 3 days plus. England whinge and cry that it is not in the spirit of the game playing for a draw . We end up wining by an innings anyway

Your opinion has aids.

Never mind me mate, I don't doubt he can play a bit. Just throwing my head back with a few plays and misses. Still a sucker for an lb I reckon, they need to keep at his stumps.

In terms of changes for the perth test
England should drop carberry and prior, and bring in bairstow and ballance

The spinners should get dropped for bresnan and finn or rankin

 

[Pete Cash]

BM its nothing to do with the "changes" stop being a weirdo who thinks its fun to troll a RL forum. Its to do with the fact its flat as f**k and boring. There is no advantage to Australia playing test matches on this piece of shit. We would be better served playing in Tasmania.

About as accurate as your claim that the WACA was considering a drop in wicket :lol:

Yeah his weight does tend to go to the off side a bit which could get him in a bit of trouble.

Now he's gone lol.

The ranga's arse runs out..

Rhinooooo !!!!!!!!!

BROAD IN, perfect timing

BREAK SOME ARMS FELLAS

 

[no name]

Will that "boorish behaviour" mean Adelaide shouldn't be considered for future Ashes tests?

Carberry? He's looked very assured I feel at the top yet a bit unlucky at the same time. I feel that a big one for him is not far away.
