Is the pitch that good or are we playing sh*t? 3/32 wowsers

Pitch has no cracks and seam bowling is causing some issues.

 

[amaz199]

Hasn't been too hot in Brisbane so the pitch looks in good shape. Perfect for bowlers as the day progresses.

hope nobody bought day 4 tickets... day 3 looking sketchy as well

 

[Lomas]

This is just getting silly.

 

[Hojuman]

Steady as she goes

Head has hit so many boundaries that he is developing a little paunch from lack of running.

Hope he looks like Mr.Creosote by tea tomorrow.

I was listening on the wireless early and they were very critical of the bowling. Got home, turned on telly and bingo - 4 wickets.

Ah, the wireless. Those were the days! Memories, memories!

 

[Lomas]

Boland for a night watchman 50 to keep the fairy tale going?

Ah well, did his job

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Rabada gets an edge off Boland and celebrates like he got Bradman

 

[Lomas]

Entertaining day of cricket. 300 odd runs and 15 wickets

5 for 6 in the first 15mins tomorrow? hahaha

We might laugh, but does anybody think it's absolutely impossible?

 

[Samsquanch]

I am not such a big fan of Green. He played some very nice shots, and often does but he seems to be vulnerable no matter how long he's been at the crease.

As for the DRS decision on Head, I thought it was out in real time but no hot spot on the glove and snicko seemed to be out of sync with the ball passing the glove. There was only one noise spike and the ball Cleary brushed Head's shirt which should have created a second snicko spike.

I'm tipping RSA to win this

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Did anyone say 3 day test?

Shut up idiot

 

[Hojuman]

Nothing like that wooden " thunk " !

Crap finish to the Aussie innings but great start against SA - 2/3. What a cracker of a ball from Starc. Stunning.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

That ball from Starc was utterly unplayable.

No sane person could expect that line.

It was an absolute peach but you could've backed a truck in between his bat and pad. If he was playing for angle it makes no sense to play at that ball. He made a poor decision but it was an absolute ripper.

His bat was exactly where the ball should have been. It deviated a mile.

If anything it was his footwork that was poor if he was looking to block.

Footwork was definitely poor (it's drilled into openers, no gap between bat and pad against the new ball) but my point was if he was playing the line of the ball he shouldn't have played at it at all. Though not many openers in Queensland will play the exact line. You're always gonna be in trouble with a ball that does what that one did but he didn't give himself a chance.
