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

[Art Vandelay_]

Is there actually any evidence of more injuries in the SCG and the Gabba than at the other grounds?

I think the BL whined about a couple of years back and have been lobbying for it for years, then again the Gabba is a harder surface.

Curse this rain!

 

[MisterMarcus]

Wait, what? We came back out and played some more?

 

[Smoooothy]

which tosser just said that this is CA's fault for rescheduling the test?

Here's your image of the summer.

 

[HBF]

So frustrating..

 

[JP Sauce]

I'm watching for the first time during my lunch break, but did Tubby really say that Smith celebrating his hundred was a great moment for the Huhges family?

Great stuff from Smith and Clarke btw.

 

[ioppolo]

Wait, what? We came back out and played some more?

About 2 overs, 18 runs were scored.

 

[outabounds]

All of this lost time and only .2mm in the rain guage in Adelaide.

 

[Mister B]

With the talk of declaring and with Clarke just about to fall apart at the seams, wouldn't they try and get as many runs out of him this innings just in case he can't bat in the second? I'd be batting until all out then back the bowlers to do the job twice over if the difference at the turn is big enough.

Settle Smoothy. That was just a response to your garden variety Adelaide-hating trolls.

The rain is actually the SANFL's fault. My Port mate just told me.

 

[Righteo]

Rain in Adelaide? the flip.

 

[Smoooothy]

Here's your image of the summer.

i get it, but i don't know why it's needs to be done

i really hope this doesn't continue all summer

 

[outabounds]

Speaking of declarations, getting runs is a hell of a lot easier in the first innings than the second- keep batting

 

[ManWithNoName]

Actually this one's probably better since it's not just a screenshot.

Well it is. All of Phil's mates are lifting their game in his honour.

 

[MisterMarcus]

About 2 overs, 18 runs were scored.

Gawd, I miss the good stuff and come back for "Now here's some completely pointless filler crap"

 

[Smoooothy]

oh yeah, everything is poorts fault. i forgot that

Teams just don't enforce the follow-on anymore.

 

[Damon_3388]

Gee, that's unlike a Glenelg side to get beaten in a Grand Final

 

[estibador]

Watching on skysports over in the uk, a british commentator states 'i thought adelaide was the sun capital of australia'

To be fair even Hobart would seem like a sunny oasis to the Poms.

 

[Aussie_boy]

We would be mad to declare once Clarke gets to his ton, the only reason it would be acceptable would be if the rest of this day is entirely rained out.

 

[Impunity!]

We need to keep going, Clarke needs to get 408 runs, any declaration would be disrespectful to little bruzzy.

Amazing Adelaide is next up.
