This has to be deliberate, because the last couple of tests at Adelaide oval have gone for 3 days or 3 days and one session on day 4, they desperately want a 5 day test

The curator at Adelaide Oval (Damian Hough) found that if they cut the grass too close the pink ball would get shredded really quickly. Too abrasive.
They've had to leave the grass longer so that the ball can handle 80 overs and go the distance.
However the longer grass means it doesn't come onto the bat as well.
For one dayers and red ball matches they take more grass off.

Can understand that .Always a big test in Adelaide

No doubt about that one, this outfield is atrocious.

Time wasting in an already long game is incredibly important.
If you're worried about crowds etc, time wasting meaning people see less cricket in the same time is not gonna help.

I’ve literally just explained to you that in one session they completed a normal amount of overs -28 is perfectly normal. and given a pretty straightforward explanation of why they were 3 overs slower in the first session. Moan about it all you want but you want to piss and whinge about why they’re behind the rate and I’ve told you.
Poms starting to resemble a rotisserie chook that's been on low heat all day - Anderson looks absolutely stuffed, Broad is off the ground getting a rub, they are fielding Robinson at short mid-wicket so he doesn't have to run, Stokes cannot get away from the ball and Woakes must be playing hide and seek...
He no good

That security guard is a dickhead.
The irony of a Black Cap fan talking about slow test batting
Now you know how we feel
Root deserves a suspension. Needs to bowl himself with no spinners. Should have bowled 20 overs by now. Terrible captaincy.
