Australia vs New Zealand 3rd Test Adelaide

[HBF]

Preparing myself for the "Adelaide oval is so pretty" wankfest from the commentators

And how long before Chappell mentions Les Burdett.

If Hazlewood continues his ordinary form I hope he gets dropped for the West Indies tests.

Well to be fair, even after the redevelopment, it's still one of the nicest ovals in Australia;

No it wont. Can you see people staying at night at a test match on a week day? Nice novelty but it will wear off soon enough.

People don't go to tests anyway. Hence why they are doing this.

Unless, of course, it's a big match (England, India and I guess South Africa), in which case, yes, people will stay regardless.

More of a heads up. We all know it's coming.

Yes, it's beautiful !

Never seen cricket there, but watched the footy last year and did a tour. Glorious place.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

At last! Seems like this test match has taken an eternity to get here. The last start time is not helping either... start already!

I still find it hilarious how Josh Hazlewood is a test cricketer.

Good cricketer out of form. Hopefully he bounces back.

Yeah... 44 wickets at 26.

What a hack.

And being almost 25 years old... there's just no way he'll possibly get any better.

Warnie back for this test so we can look forward to plenty of talk about dirty rotten pizzas.

Hopefully this test will be a better contest between bat and ball, the talk is that NZ will play the left arm spinner Santner ahead of Henry.

Not sure about that move, would prefer Henry or Wagner as there is less chance of them being carted than the spinners.

Looks like Australia are going with Siddle ahead of Pattinson.

Good to see they're not rushing Patto.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good to see they're not rushing Patto.

Agreed. Why he was even in the squad is beyond me.

 

[frankrizzo]

So what is the strategy with pink ball games?

If you win the toss just pretend it's a 50 over match slog and get as many as possible before it gets dark and the ball gets old?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There better be something there for the bowling side

 

[PoopingHindi]

Good to see they're not rushing Patto.

would be nice to see him play some cricket...has played 1 first class game this year i think.

and only has one chance to prove himself between now and Boxing Day if he is required. let the guy bowl FFS

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gah NZ win toss and bat

 

[Plugger35]

We won the toss!!!

NZ batting first.

 

[kozi]

Of course NZ won the toss. They were always destined to have the title of first batsmen to ever be dismissed by a pink ball.
