Travis copped 15% for an audible obscenity

Remember last summer when we destroyed India in the first test. All out for 36. They ended up being dominant for the rest of the summer. Hopefully England don’t do the same

A massive difference in class between India and England.The next test is Englands main hope for a win using a pink ball in a day/night test on a docile pitch.I still don't see them winning unless we make a stupid declaration

I don’t think they have it in them either but they may surprise.

Pink ball tests tend to be a lottery and there are 2 out of the 4 remaining Tests. Broad and Anderson will be big ins in Adelaide.

Broad yes. Anderson doesn’t have the stamina anymore and fades as rests and series progress.

Broad yes. Anderson doesn’t have the stamina anymore and fades as rests and series progress.

That’s why he’s being nursed and not playing every Test. He’ll most likely only play the two pink tests.

Our pink ball bowlers aren’t too shabby

I don’t know if that will pay off for them. He comes in underdone. Great bowler but bowler is all about rhythm which you only get from playing. I guess we’ll see how it plays out.

reckon poms are specials in Adelaide

Looking like Josh Hazlewood will be out and Jhye Richardson in.

It will be the best conditions for their swing bowling. Good for our swing bowlers as well. Starc generally swings the pink ball very well. As does Jhye Richardson.
England don’t have very good spinners, so Sydney and Melbourne wont suit them. Tassie could be good for England, but by then the mental disintegration Should have taken its toll.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Every Summer the pink test is marked as a danger game due to the way our batters handle swing but we’ve done well in them. Should be a great test match

 

[Geo]

Australia pink-ball tests played 8. pink-ball tests won 8..

 

[Tigerwould]

Hazlewood officially out of the 2nd Test, Jhye in.
Gonna be a tough battle this test, Hazlewood “The Bush Horse” is a big loss
Warner likely to play apparently.

I would have Michael Neser in there. Great bowler and Jhye didn’t seem confident with his shoulder the other day.

37 degrees Friday in Adelaide

Not much fun if you are on the bowling/fielding side.Out in the middle it would be even hotter

 

[paul wright]

It is a strong possibility that we will need a new captain and pace bowler for today's test with Cummings having come into close proximity to a positive covid case earlier in the week.This will be a big blow to morale

Geez, Hope not.
