1st Test Australia v India, Dec 17-21 at the Adelaide Oval

[Scorpus]

Will we manage to get 100 behind?

 

[Ron The Bear]

Chooooooo-oooo-oooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Train wreck.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Just play your natural game.

 

[estibador]

Haha sheeiiit.

Well I'll say what I always say - even though they make teams look bad, I prefer these Tests where the ball dominates the bat over the boring batting roads.

 

[BG__]

Well, I guess the good news is we will get to bowl for an hour or two with the new ball under lights

 

[nurries]

There was no one else left other than Harris

No one around the country averaging more than 6?

 

[swanssince2002]

Deep down inside, if it wasn't for Smith going god mode during the Ashes and looking like the second coming of Bradman the underlying issues of batting were still there. Same players still shaky.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Bullied by a more skilled and hungrier team so far.

Pfft, we bowled great yesterday

Bullied by better bats

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Need the tail to w....oh it's been dismembered

 

[Shiv]

What a ****ing ripping ball

 

[Alfonz]

Would like to see where those two wicket balls pitched. Seemed pretty similar lengths.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Has a team ever declared while trailing by 100+ ?

Let’s have a bowl under the lights and make the most of it.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Imagine against a world class pace attack picking a guy averaging 6 who was nothing special to begin with to open with a guy who’s never opened in long form cricket in his life would turn out so bad?

100% correct, crap start to the innings and it's downhill from there. Marcus Harris? Usman Khawaja? Anybody but those two they picked.

 

[Chuckie357]

There was no one else left other than Harris

I bat 11 for my local club B grade and own two baggy greens and a pair of official playing pants and didn’t need to travel or quarantine, could’ve picked me it wouldn’t have cost much

 

[lewdogs]

Test cricket is hard when you play with no opening batsmen.

 

[HBF]

Starc might as well just throw the bat and get some quick runs.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

No one around the country averaging more than 6?

Hindsight, they would have failed just like all of our bats

 

[Shiv]

****ing amazing

 

[WeetBixKid]

Pujara's 43 off 160 just looks better & better

 

[Tassieboy]

With Cummins not coming on with the bat and Starc's batting falling away, our tail looks longish, especially with a wicketkeeper who's in the side primarily for his keeping.

 

[estibador]

Labushange incredibly stiff, the only one all day that kept low apart from figjam’s. Batted very well and showed terrific fight well done son

Pretty lucky to be dropped so many times previously though.

 

[Pacman Carney]

Langer needs to change or else we gotta sack him.

There are 3 selectors you know.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Will Davey be fit for Boxing Day?

 

[HBF]

OMG another dropped catch.

 

[k31th]

another drop haha Paine falling for the pull/hook trap and they didn't take it.
