The Ashes, Second Test Australia v England @ The Adelaide Oval d/n 16-20 December

[Happy Mastenator]

Feels like Warney talking shit about Starc, and then trying to downlplay his first ball wicket in the first test is a long long time ago....

“If only Pope can bat for 3 hours”

This is his chance, but I don't know if he will find enough bowlers to bowl at him in the nets for 3 hours.

 

[Santana]

Even as a keeper-batsmen, I am not sure I would call Buttler a good test player.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Stokes should just barrage his way to fifty now, as his teammates are not going to provide any resistance whatsoever, and he'll at least achieve some personal success.

I think having a tonk against a fired up Starc is probably harder than having a tonk of the English bowlers after they've bowled 25 overs each and are fried.

 

[Fabab]

Well done mitch.

 

[PhatBoy]

Ffs stop ****ing sparring at them

Tim Lane is the worst cricket commentator.

Thought SA had gone into lockdown for a moment, very few people there.

 

[Bungeye]

The barmy army should inspire England towards victory today!

Almost every commentator on channel 7, Hold my beer...

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Keep it there Starcy.

You hardly ever get a good crowd in this kind of situation of a test match.

True, but i almost saw no one in the stands until one sliver of a close up was shown.

2006-07, there were very few people there at this time of day, but when it looked like Australia had a chance, it was a packed house

Hey at least Pope didn’t get out to a spinner

That’s a positive

 

[Manbearpig77]

First mistake Carey has made.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Keepers catch.

Except the Giants are liked, maybe? When I moved to Bathurst there might have been 100 afl fans across the town across all the afl clubs. I know heaps of Giants fans here now. I dare say the same is happening in other areas where they’ve made inroads to try and foster satellite clubs etc.

Just because something isn’t happening at breakneck speed doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Yes Indians care about the ipl and there is a hell of a lot of them. No one else does though and it’s that precise attitude of ‘what India thinks matters more than everyone else’ is precisely why so much cricket is mediocre these days

Don't penalize the IPL for being immediately successful, while other ventures are still lying about attendance's after a decade.

Bbl isn't crap because of IPL - it's because ca doesn't bite bullet & make it a priority. Going back in time to domestic t20 competition isn't going to happen, but it's laughable that some would suggest such a backwards solution.

Ppl who are uncomfortable with change don't have the game's best interests at heart either..

 

[Fabab]

Carey wtf?

 

[k31th]

lol @ both Carey and Warner leaving it...

 

[Golumless]

Well, Carey is human afterall.

 

[Headless]

Carey's every day.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Far out Carey

 

[to1994]

Poor from Carey, at least Jos gets a finger to them!

Tim Lane is the worst cricket commentator.

Warne
