Can someone please give me a serious explanation as to how Merlo continually gets a BBL contract when he bats at 8 and never bowls? There are surely better cricketers running around in Victoria?

They’ll go behind Tassie once they build their new stadium too

Was never raining after that point though, could have at least had an hour of play. No way it takes an hour to clean up either, half hour max.

That’s the ultimate troll from the weather Gods. Tease us with a bit of cricket, absolutely piss down for hours, then clear up 20min after they call stumps.

Spencer Johnson literally looks like Ken from the Barbie movie

Nah I rate that, elite trolling

Adelaide is the best attended Test out of all of them, if we wanted the new years Test there’s no chance Perth is even in the conversation

The BoM also thought today was going to be sunny with no chance of rain 2 days ago, there’s no point worrying about the forecast

Rain has stopped and covers are off, why did they call stumps? They had up until this time to make a decision

Did they not realise that hosting an Olympics might cost some money? For a city the size of Brisbane and with mining money, stressing over the cost of a new stadium seems a little bit ridiculous.

Rain stopped half an hour ago and looks somewhat clear for a little while

How the **** is that still a discussion when the Gabba looks like a stadium from the 80s and is increasingly losing priority from the ICC?

Unless they turn the industrial fans and heaters on the pitch and produce a dustbowl.

It's not just Vaughan who thinks this (and he's actually a brilliant commentator and very funny on the Club Prairie Fire pod with Gilly), Mark Taylor has said it for a while too. Regardless of what people think, only 30% of Tests over the last 5 years have gone to a 5th day (some of those were...

Tomorrow looks fine, after that though it gets sketchy. However, the BoM are hardly accurate, they had this day being dry and sunny mid week lol

When are we getting an inquiry into SA cricket to workout how they've built an unbeatable super squad? It's not fair for other states. Do South Australia have to start playing international teams so they can compete against teams at their level?

McInerney even with a couple of 50s and Lehmann showing a bit more in recent games! I reckon that early season form from Carey and McSweeney has sparked the rest of them.

SA hardly forgot how to play cricket, the only reason we even got a result is due to declaring 6 down after nearly an entire day is lost to rain. Could have easily batted slower in our 2nd innings too, but went for quick runs to tempt Tassie into chasing the win. Great finish, but only...

Best game of Shield cricket in a while! 300 run partnership from SA for only 3rd time this century Massive rain delay on day 2 that forces SA to declare only 6 down Tassie capitulate on a road for 200 SA then make a quickfire 250 to set an achievable target with a bit more than 100 overs left...

Meredith got confused and tried to come back for a 2 (even though they needed 3 to win) and is left stranded miles out of the crease. Haven’t seen a Shield game like that for a while!

Tassie **** up the last run and SA win! What an absolute thriller

Big Wes! 3 balls to get one wicket or 6 runs, nuts finish!

Love it, all Shield games this round have gone down to the wire

Bit of late drama! McAndrew with back to back wickets and the number 10 is in!

Manenti not bringing the field in for Neil-Smith is the first blemish on his captaincy, just weird to allow him to easily get off strike when you get an entire over at him.

Tassie commentators going nuts over a potential Tassie win that’s only possible because SA decided to make a game of it after the rain delay.

Keeping the field out for Neil-Smith is mind boggling and with that Owen six it’s over I think. Ah well.

Tbh bit odd to not bring the field up for Neil-Smith, he’s not hitting boundaries

Glad we didn’t just bat out our first innings and turned this into a contest. Credit to Tassie here too, hitting gaps superbly on the boundary.

SA were 6/398 on this same pitch, calm down, it’s flat. Has been some great batting to consistently hit gaps too. The catch dropped a bit earlier was ****ing tough too (not the Hunt one, one before that).
