Australia vs India First Test - Adelaide Oval - Dec 9 - Dec 13

[The Passenger]

BAM!!!!

 

[Righteo]

This gun be good.

 

[Zach Package]

Cop that

 

[Richard Pryor]

Smithy firing one back.

 

[BluesMan]

Hammered

 

[Dumpstar]

We'll have 10 to 15 at them tonight. Clarke always likes that.

 

[outabounds]

take that

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Clarke is an absolute legend, we knew that already, but the respect levels for this man continue to rise. Better than Ponting? S.Waugh? Debatable but he definitely belongs in that category.

 

[Keys]

Smith asking Aaron if he's ok after that. Near took his head off

 

[James Colorado]

I think it's safe to say that one PJ Hughes is looking down on his mates proud as punch.

The way that Warner, Smith and Clarke have acknowledged their tons has been all class. No real aggressive celebration of their own achievements, rather just raising their eyes to Heaven and then kissing the crest. Smith's in particular was a beautiful gesture, and someone has already posted the image of him raising the bat on the 408 on the ground.

 

[BluesMan]

Lol heals counting reaction time in slow mo, ffs

 

[Dumpstar]

What if that had smacked him in the head? Jesus.

 

[Damon_3388]

Is the umpire seriously having a go at Smith for playing that shot? Jesus...

I know it was a close call, but still.

 

[outabounds]

I think they will just put the foot down for an hour and see where they are at after that.

 

[The Passenger]

With all the talk of banning bouncers, I can tell you there will be a lot more of those if they did. With no fear of a short ball, batsmen can just get forward and swing through the line.

 

[Plugger35]

Declaration sometime soon you would think, Clarke never lets the game drag on.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Queenslander

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

He is an utter superstar, so proud to have him as captain.

Fine cricketer and great man.

He's a man who needs prove himself to nobody, and yet SOME people still wish to criticize. One of the greatest players ever to wear the green baggy, a great captain, and one hell of a nice guy.

 

[The_Reaper]

Clarke is an absolute legend, we knew that already, but the respect levels for this man continue to rise. Better than Ponting? S.Waugh? Debatable but he definitely belongs in that category.

Level below Ponting

 

[The Passenger]

Lol heals counting reaction time in slow mo, ffs

He is truly is a mastermind.

 

[fiction]

Nearly ended Aaron's career there.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We need to be bowling at them tonight or else we will be faced with bowling them out TWICE inside 3 days.

Clarke's MO will be a 10-15 over spurt before stumps and we will try and score as many runs as possible before then.

If you can't bowl then out twice in 260 odd overs you don't deserve to win

 

[MegaBob]

Is the umpire seriously having a go at Smith for playing that shot? Jesus...

Curious about that too. He had something to say about it.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Curious about that too. He had something to say about it.

Warning him for intimidatory batting?

 

[Patron]

This is adelaide, get to 450 then start batting quickly and make as many as possible before giving them 15 overs today. There hasn't been a wicket taken today thus far. Pitch is good, we need to bat the good pitch time and score runs quickly. I can't see them not making 500 runs in 2 innings on this pitch so we shouldn't declare before then.
