Australia vs New Zealand 3rd Test Adelaide

[Art Vandelay_]

Let's not go that far. Not as if the others weren't good

Let's go that far. Truth hurts.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

the marshes have obviously lent a few of their photos to Hazlewood.

 

[HBF]

So is the longer break Tea or Dinner now?

I'm so confused

Dinner is longer.
They've just swapped the breaks around.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Funny thing is, no-one at AO knows what time this will finish, what with making up overs, bad light.

Don't know why people are confused about this. They'll add 30 minutes if need be like normal.

What time will the historic first night ball actually be bowled lads?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Let's go that far. Truth hurts.

Hardly. Siddle was average before he got dropped, and his recent record in Australia isn't fantastic.

That said I hope he is taking plenty of wickets this test. In the side now, has my support.

Only just realised this. Test cricket is dead to me. There are no words.

 

[Dugdale2Dwyer]

mute time

NICHO - " the light should take affect around tea time "





Thanks for the fox news alert Geraldo.......

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You would take Hazlewood ahead of Siddle? Lol.

In Australian conditions yes.

 

[Plugger35]

Not really sure of the hysteria of a "Day/Night" Test.

Lights will take effect around 7ish.................it ain't dark here til after 8pm.

Funny thing is, no-one at AO knows what time this will finish, what with making up overs, bad light.

Yeah the majority of the test will still be played in normal light so the whole day/night thing is being overplayed a bit.

The biggest difference is using the pink ball which is supposed to swing more than the red ball.

 

[Underarm]

Time to listen to the best anthem again.

 

[ep2018]

Why pink ball? Why not red during light hours and white when lights are turned on?

 

[ep2018]

Time to listen to the best anthem again.

Ukraine arent out there?

 

[iluvparis]

Time to listen to the best anthem again.

Surely a competition between two of the worst anthems in the world - only the saffers would challenge for the podium.

 

[2006_Eagles]

 

[kozi]

In Australian conditions yes.

A guy who bowls all day long through the heat without showing any major signs of tiring vs a guy who looks gassed by the end of his first spell. No thanks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why pink ball? Why not red during light hours and white when lights are turned on?

Yes let's completely gimmick the game....

 

[royboy2]

Time to listen to the best anthem again.

Yep, up there with the French & the Scots

Love the Saffers anthem

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely a competition between two of the worst anthems in the world - only the saffers would challenge for the podium.

South Africa's anthem is lively especially if you know Africaan

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Jesus wept, my glass just cracked!!!

Who the heck sung that???

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Let the over the top hype begin.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Why pink ball? Why not red during light hours and white when lights are turned on?

It's pretty straightforward, you have to try to limit the variables as much as possible.

 

[HBF]

Yes let's completely gimmick the game....

Why can't we just use the red ball? I don't understand why there is a need for the pink ball.
