Good old fashioned Test cricket
Agree, totally unwarranted insinuation/accusation.

My understanding is that as it’s the Ashes, Adelaide will still get very good crowds even for a day test whereas CA are trying to prop up the Gabba which traditionally draws poor crowds so hopefully a D/N test can pull in some extra numbers

Yeah wish they’d just make it 2 day night tests per summer (rotate the second one but have Adelaide as one it’s an amazing event there)

Well the initial comment sounded like a shot at them kissing his arse - ie. ‘how can THIS guy be considered that good.’ I get the sense that if there was a player that Aussies saw every series and every summer churning out those numbers - like Smith was as a batsman for a long time - people would have no hesitation accepting similar claims.
Hell there was ample data for a LONG time to support the idea that if Smith retired at a certain point, or maintained his output just for another year or two, he would have a claim at all-time XI status and ‘best after Bradman’ status.
Well the simple fact is, he is that good and until his output drops, the commentators have every right to claim that we could be watching one of if not the best pace bowler ever. The numbers support it for now.
Good day by the Aussies, got to cash in tomorrow. Get a lead and bowl to the Indians tomorrow evening.
If McSweeney can get through that session then he’s got what it takes to be a test opener.

Don’t know why you guys left Jurel out. Was so thankful he wasn’t playing
That interview when he first moved to SA got me, "I'm only 23, I've got a lot more to offer". Crushing

I had Phil Hughes down as an eventual 100 test player who would retire as one of australias best batsmen of the era. Echo your comments buddy.

Yep. I don't understand the desire to try and play the game in fast forward just cost a pink ball is involved.

It’s also wait for it DAY TWO tomorrow why are we wanting to be bowling on day 2? Can we give the bowlers a day off for once? This has been half the issue and why our bowlers look cooked every series- they are bowling back to back days. It’s ridiculous. Just bat bat and bat hopefully make near 500 plus
not much gap between the upcoming tests either. If Aus is say 7/8 down when the night sessions starts then I'd expect them to declare. A lot of plays & misses in the night session today.

Would be the single most dumb idea on the planet. Let India bowl for 2 days then let’s think about bowling day 3 onwards
commentators today are the worst Listen to abc radio 10 times better than these boring poor voiced okker muppets
HAHA that’s a great idea. I’m sure it won’t be long before we get AI commentary where you can choose your commentator lol
