Would love to watch a Test live at the Adelaide Oval. Gorgeous ground.

Labs actually connected bat on ball

No one does a sunset either like Adelaide

 

[JimmyBC]

Is Hayden getting brown paper bags under the desk from the SA tourism commission?

 

[new breed]

Marnus not scoring but still there ....think this is good.

Would love to watch a Test live at the Adelaide Oval. Gorgeous ground.

I’ve been lucky enough to go to an Ashes Boxing Day test, and some crackers at the WACA sitting on the grass hill, but I reckon a day nighter at Adelaide Oval would top the lot.

Yep hard dry wickets that broke up for Shane Keith Warne.

McGrath loved pitches that broke up as well

 

[Plugger35]

And we generally served up roads from 1999-2009

Haydos and his buddy Langer played in one of the easiest flat track bully eras of all time in the early 2000s in Australia.

They got a real wake up call in 2005 when England had a good fast bowling attack on the bowler friendly English pitches.

The only Australian batsman that stood up to be counted in that test series was Ponting when he batted Australia to a draw.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Why?

Who the hell are you that i have to justify anything to? Guy wanted an Avatar bet and i refused. Real money means more if bets win than 14yo Avatar bets on a football forum.

Lol

 

[Andronicus]

Read the law as quoted:

He brings his wrist through with the action.

He doesn't throw the ball. The hyperextension of his elbow is fine. Deal with the fact that his action is completely legal, even if you have to simmer in your discontent to do so.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat my dinner. Or would you like to query that, too?

Don't fall of your high horse while eating then.

You can't back up your claims, so you mention the wrist in an example that has nothing to do with the hyperextension you mention.

You looked and found nothing about the direction of the bend.

 

[kickazz]

Sure does. He could take a leaf out of his old skippers book as well. Punter is so good at saying a lot with much fewer words.

Yeah.

Summed up best with this great rejoinder to KP's waffling about Joe Root last winter:

"Well he's out now, he made forty"

Classic brevity

 

[Stax on the mill]

Marnus motoring along. Not easy conditions, but perhaps could be looking for some singles to turn the strike over.

 

[Gavin Excell]

This is a very interesting and tense stage of the game

 

[Outtatym]

Tough conditions but Marnus hanging on for dear life atm it seems...doesn't look like scoring

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Any chance of us responding to McSweeney’s calls? Khawaja is a putrid tuner between wickets and let’s just say Lab isn’t going much better

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I don’t care if he’s 0 n.o at stumps if we are 1 down only

 

[Buzz Hawk]

When it gets to the stage we’re silently cheering every ball marnus is not dismissed, then he and we, have issues.
Does not look like scoring.

Yeah it's funny because last week I was like "Marnus needs to attack early, get some runs, none of this slow shit", but given the conditions and stage of game he is doing what he should now.

I only climb on my horse - and all horses are high to someone my height - when I'm posting on the Cricket board.

I've backed up my claims multiple times. Did you read the posts you've quoted?

You seem like you've a tickled nerve. What specifically set you a'giggling?

 

[JimmyBC]

Marnus getting through this session would be pretty huge for his confidence regardless of what happens tomorrow.

Labs has forgot that making runs is apart of the game

 

[Lebbo73]

Night Tests are ordinary. Lets watch the bowler totally dominate because the batsmen has no chance against a ball that does too much.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How long left tonight?

 

[Cleavy]

It amazes me that no one at 7 has pulled Haydos aside and said less is more made. It’s TV, the pictures tell a lot of the story. And if someone has pulled him aside why does he still have a job.

Ch7 are the masters at filling dead air with noise

 

[dumb]

Farcical
