Deserved 4 for that.

Wadey should be the only one allowed to use DRS

Admiral wouldn’t get one wrong

 

[PARRA_FAN]

This crowd is horrific

And people were bagging the GABBA test crowd.

I feel the Perth test will be more embarrassing

Poor Isha... putting up with this.

Too bad the man nicknamed "flipper" can't bowl one.

Crowd's been much better than people make out to be

Day 1: 30,878
Day 2: 33,943
Day 3: 17,006

Considering it's been crap winter-like weather in Adelaide (max temperature in the high teens with overcast skies), the crowd for the first day is at least double what it would've got had this been a day test.

Crowd for the first 2 days is more than what the Gabba got for 4 days. Very good crowds considering Pakistan ain't a big drawcard. Tomorrow is expected to rain until at least midday, so the 2pm start minimises the amount of lost play thanks to being able to play under lights and eliminate the 'bad light' situation that has become too common in red-ball test matches.

Day/night tests in Adelaide have been a success and are here to stay. Perth crowd is a worry due to being held in such a large stadium (60k vs 20k for the WACA), and Cricket Australia made a day/night fixture to at least ensure at least an extra 10-15k per day turn up compared to a day test.

They got a little over 19,000 last year for Day 1 last year in Perth, granted it was 39 degrees but it's a pretty average crowd. I'm not expecting a big crowd here in Perth this year given NZ aren't exactly a big draw card, maybe the D/N Test can draw the people through the gate but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Perth merkins would much rather rock up to the Big Beat off.

Ball must be soft again, time to get the spinners on to rush through to the new ball.

Need a feature or two on the Starc pokie here

When Ponting is on commentary he sounds like the best captain ever. Why didn't he know all this stuff when he was captain.

 

[mozza91]

Paine had no idea what he was doing there. That’s becoming a familiar sight.

 

[TIGER14]

Paine is a f**king spud

Captain Hindsight Ponting!!!

Looks like we're gonna be chasing one of those tricky low totals for victory. We're doomed.

Captain Free Ride.

I'd trust Wadey to operate on me more than a surgeon tbh
