2nd Test: Australia v West Indies D/N @ Adelaide Oval Dec 8-12, 2022

So are we done with David Warner?

Harris next in. But Labs has everything to open. Smith back at 3. So if a middle order option is available maybe we could look that way.

Probably leave 3 and 4 the way they are IMO

Surely Renshaw gets a good run now? as good as Harris got

Doesnt help Harris is in the squad, hopefully that changes for SA test series

 

[TheParraboy]

Im calling it

We wont be declaring today..

 

[yobbo84]

That's ahhh a 'sporting' decision from the Aussie umpire there.. that was missing

 

[TheParraboy]

unlucky there Oozie

But congrates to Thomas on debut and the 7th bowler used today, takes his first test wicket

2/129

 

[Smug Panther]

Labs has more arse than Kim Kardashian

 

[Hutty1986]

Oh deary me. Dudded by DRS and a globe for Smith

 

[Bazal]

200 not a week ago

Quacks today. How shit is cricket

 

[Twizzle]

wtf Smudger, I thought he was over all that falling away to the offside, head outside the line of the ball

I used to see Labs opening with Pucovski as the 3. That appears over. I highly doubt selectors change 3/4 as its already working well. You'd only consider it if we had a gun middle order batsman in waiting.

I'd expect Renshaw to be on the plane to England. I think his style would suit well in English conditions.

seems like more respectable crowd in Adelaide than in Perth

 

[Twizzle]

wouldn't be too hard

Pink Test is going to attract a bigger crowd.

Plus the tradition in WA is to go to the WACA for tests, it's going to take awhile for people to get used to the grey Goliath.

Perth test crowds have been rubbish for decades.

don't think they have google maps over there yet, so they probably can't find it

 

[westerntiger]

watching the channel 7even coverage and apparently home and away is the number one drama in the country times are really tough aren't they

 

[baggygreen man]

Harris next in.

Bypass him for Renshaw. Harris has had more than his share of chances to cement his spot. CA, tho, is not a fan of jettisoning their pets.

 

[baggygreen man]

Shock horror Smudge gone for a duck. Soft dismissal for mine. Bat seemed to move in his hand as he played the shot.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Definitely poor from Smith, score 200 every innings, otherwise you're a failure.

 

[Bazal]

A probable failure

He still makes the potential XI

 

[baggygreen man]

You are given a massive bonus by having the master batsman back in the shed without troubling the scorer.. and what do you do to press home your advantage.. bring on the spinner. Be ok if he was a Shane Warne.. but Chase is a pale shadow of him. Odd tactics Windies.
