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

[Jim Prideaux]

yeah just average by australia apart from the first ball

bowling timid....not a single bouncer so far

fielding pathetic usman just a liability just get him off the field

Cummins needs to stand up ....just going through the motions...he is fresh

Can’t agree on the bowling, it’s been good.

 

[Nuggetz]

It's not a road, it's seaming

Our bowling has just been shit

I've thought its been either way too short or too full. Also a few wide deliveries that haven't been punished. Surely bowl stump to stump

 

[010203]

Unlike their last innings in Adelaide, India has more than 36 runs on the board.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

11 overs bowled in the first hour.

5 penalty runs per missed over.

 

[Nuggetz]

There doesn't seem to be any energy in the field. Thought they'd come out fired up & lots of chat.

 

[danielnajdek]

We would've been 6 down by now if we were batting.

Gotta take the small wins

 

[Westend]

come on pat

 

[danielnajdek]

Look at all those wide nothing balls.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

7 percent of the balls bowled are hitting the stumps.

There's ya problem

 

[010203]

Good fielding by McSweeney.

 

[new breed]

Goodbye ball .....

 

[Westend]

gentle half volley come on boland

Yes and no, 4th stump line when it’s moving a bit can be very effective. Glen McGrath made a career out of it.

 

[chriso11]

Need a wicket big time… last thing we need is Rohit coming in with a downhill skiing scenario to bash the ball around

 

[Struggle]

Who cares about snicko. There was clear visual movement past the bat

 

[Nuggetz]

That cover drive was sex

 

[Jim Prideaux]

gentle half volley come on boland

There is another poster complaining he’s bowling too short.

 

[Nuggetz]

I think Aus have bowled the wrong line, it's around 4th/5th stump when it should be on off-stump

 

[Nuggetz]

Random but how many gun fielders does Aus have right now?

Only 2 I can think of are Starc & Cummins

 

[Kuuz]

Ominous signs already from how comfortable the batsmen are becoming ...

We had chances and didn't take them.

 

[Westend]

just average atm Jim ....since ussies dropped catch....its been blah from the Aussies

cummins needs to stand up here and do something

Green, but he's obviously not playing.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Meanwhile our only wicket came from an LBW. Maybe they should try a few more like that

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

And once again our bowling falls to crap the moment India gets going.
