Australia vs New Zealand 3rd Test Adelaide

[Bumpswithagrin]

They did have a grade player subbing initially. The masseur came on later.
Incidentally, that's "masseuse" if you listen to the Channel 9 commentators.

Yes, so why didn't he come on again? Was he already on the field maybe? Don't they normally have two substitutes available? No real problem with the masseur coming on (assume he can field!) but it just seemed odd. Yep, they gave the masseur a sex change, hopeless

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

When it's a crap test the appeal will diminish. Just because you are not working doesn't mean you will automatically attend a sporting event.

If you are working then you definitely won't

I think the whole concept of "prime time television" is just a fad.

Once the novelty wears off and people realise the shows aren't that great then daytime television ratings will BOOM

Don't know what happened with the other bloke, you're quite right, you would expect it to be better organised unless, of course, the masseur is a player.

The sex change is conclusive proof that known of those wackers know whether they are Arthur or Martha.

Maybe if it's a good test you will go during the day even if you do work (annual leave, flex day, sickie). Just pushing it into the night time will not automatically revive a dying format.

Can't say it has much appeal for us in the West; 11.30am to 6.30pm is not any better or worse than 8am to 3pm.

We don't care about the west

 

[DrEvil_]

Day/night test is an absolutely flop. Players sitting around all morning doing nothing sucks.

 

[JackOutback]

We don't care about the west

We know this.

Except when we're bringing in the filthy mining lucre though

Why ask Latham about the pink ball at night? He was out before the lights came on. I'd rather hear from Watling who looked pretty good before the break and was clearly struggling in session 3. Easy to make excuses, but Warner didn't look as though he could see the ball either. I can't recall seeing him playing so many false strokes early in his innings.

Latham did say he thought the ball was much easier to see before the lights came on, and Mark Nicholas changed the subject very quickly

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Slater says he's all for change. How about we change the commentary team then?

 

[2006_Eagles]

Starc out 3 months?

Johnson to set the record for quickest comeback in history

 

[2006_Eagles]

Just heard a bit of talk back on the ABC radio and reactions to the night session were mixed. Unfortunately only a one sided version of events on channel 9.

Did Siddle just become our stirke bowler?

It's better for sure

 

[JackOutback]

It's better for sure

Eh, 8am to 3.30pm means I can watch the whole game at work, 11.30am to 6.30pm means I miss the final session while travelling home.

Might be better for Saturday and Sunday.

On the flip side, for me it means I actually get to watch a session when I get home

DEAN WAUGH!!!

 

[Whiskers]

One of the Marsh boys to score 100 at $10 odds?
Wow as much as I want us to do well I would need far bigger odds than that.

 

[2006_Eagles]

LOl @ whomever was bagging that Neville catch yesterday

It was awesome

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

This 'pink all is better' propaganda has Brad McNamara written all over it.

 

[G Mus]

This is some hardcore pink ball shilling

 

[HBF]

Shock horror that Slats has one of Warners bats.

 

[outabounds]

This is some hardcore pink ball shilling

So sick of Warne crapping on about the pink ball.
