2nd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 6-10 1430hrs @ Adelaide Oval

Cricinfo: "By the way, Ashwin is off the field. He hurt his foot while batting, on the delivery he was lbw"

I bet he makes a miraculous recovery when he's required to bowl

I do like how they replace him with Jadeja when he wouldn’t have bowled anyway

 

[Stax on the mill]

McSweeney is finding it tough going. But it’s refreshing to see an Australian batsman put a price on his wicket. Hope he gets through tonight and makes a good score.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

How unfortunate that 47 year old Ashwin got injured and they’ve had to put random fielder Jadeja on in his place

 

[JimmyBC]

Carn' Marn'

 

[kickazz]

Not sure but I wouldn’t want to be facing put it that way

What if a player got injured. Ramifications.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Not sure Warner should be joking about underhanded tactics and tricks in the commentary box

 

[hawkman]

Update on Ashwin: He has taken a blow on the foot while batting, so will rest up tonight and then his progress will be monitored and if everything goes well, he should be back on the field on day 2

Translation is that he was never going to bowl under lights so we prefer Jadeja in the field

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Marnus to be out before stumps at $1.01

I’ll back him in for 50+

It may be the tequila though

 

[southern_crusher]

Labs is going absolutely bananas

 

[Gethelred]

That's the stuff! Good running!

How many balls does a batter need to face before they “get their eye in”

 

[Cleavy]

probably try to claim a concussion sub out of it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely we all have to do two shots of tequila each if Lab makes it to stumps

 

[ams4crows]

In Labs we trust!

How many balls does a batter need to face before they “get their eye in”

In test cricket? Probably 40 or so depending. Early on it’s more

 

[Stax on the mill]

He’s undoubtedly well qualified to comment on that aspect.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How many balls does a batter need to face before they “get their eye in”

I don't think anyone will be in tonight

Very difficult batting. Never in

Hopefully tomorrow gets easier and these guys are still there

 

[TY24]

Are there documented rules if the lights misbehave in the middle of a delivery?

It surely falls under distraction to the batter and gets called a dead ball.

Windows update completed after 2 restarts.

 

[Nicho50]

Ashwin is on the field.

Pink ball gets softer at say 50th over or so you have to EARN the right to face the easier ball. Hopefully we do that

How many balls does a batter need to face before they “get their eye in”

Also depends on how new ball is.

It is still shiny, hard and moving now, but India are bowling quite wide. We could have a swing at it, but prob a bit dangerous. Better to treat them as free leaves that make the ball a bit older.

They say it is important to keep up your fluids....lol.

 

[windyhill]

Gotta make this clown play at it.

Dead ball it would be.
