2nd Test D/N: Australia v Pakistan at Adelaide, Nov 29 - Dec 3 2019

[TheParraboy]

Starts Friday 230pm

We will probably have the same lineup Id imagine. Some random talk on cricket 360 Paine may need to have some scans on his hand. So potentially we could be looking for a captain and another keeper if indeed he isn't right

Pakis maybe couple of changes

Don't expect this test to go to 5 days either

Wade keeper and captain...

Jokes

Need a Wadey century in this game for my sanity

The biiggest task for selectors is to work out the resting schedule.
Marnus and Warner scored big runs so they're due for a rest.
Smith didn't score many so he needs to be rested too.
Starc bowled so he needs a rest as well.

Team
Bancroft
Harris
S Marsh
Stoinis
Wade
Head
Wade (c)
Pattinson
Siddle
Lyon
Hazlewood

Wade is so good he can fill two spots.
Burns gets dropped because that's just what we do.

Just having the tough nugget in the side in an Australia win gives me peace mate....

Disappointed you don't have Riley Meredith in there over Hazlewood. You need that really fast bowler with lots of mongrel that will go for 8 an over and only get wickets with stupid stroke play from a horrid delivery..

Id also have MMarsh as the unconscious injury substitute....

I think we should make this test a legends game with players from the past getting a game and Steve Waugh can be the one to call Warne to tell him he's missed out.

True. I also seem to have left out Darcy Short who can get the team off to a fast start in those crucial early overs.

Barely watched a ball of the last test as the series is just uninspiring and the result was inevitable prior to the toss.

Will watch a bit of this one because it is on at night and the D/N fixture adds a different element but the Kiwi series can't come quick enough.

Just remember, Cameron Bancroft is a pink ball (and pink cigar) specialist.

Might be rushed to Allan Border oval today?

Bit of rain about for this test

Still couple of days to go but from here temperatures look to be 21c-14c during play
Rain forecast for the first 4 days, how strong or how it affects play will know more as game commences

Saw some report on the news today from Ponting talking about how Shah giving smith a 7 finger send off is going to motivate smith to make a massive score in Adelaide

Yeah punter I’m sure smith is really devastated about some weak send off

 

[Twizzle]

Yeah punter I’m sure smith is really devastated about some weak send off

well according to Smith himself, he is, although he didn't describe it as devastation, more like a reason to fire up

Meh Smith will probably fail again

As long as we all get to see the Warner choreographed run and leap ton celebration (never gets boring) and a sublime Wadey cameo, that will be a great day of test cricket...

 

[TheParraboy]

covers are on with rain coming down

first two sessions look a write off, maybe the day

 

[TheParraboy]

without a ball being bowled

TAB had a draw at 9/1 couple of days ago

Now its 5/1

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust won toss and we will bat

 

[TheParraboy]

No interpreter for the Paki captain this test?

 

[Eelectrica]

Somewhere Pat Howard just breathed a huge sigh of relief - an extra days rest (probably) for the bowlers.
