*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Spikey]

Got out to the hook in Australia a couple of tours ago I think. For some reason it sticks out in my mind.

when lee and hussey almost killed each other?

hahahahaha johnsons asking k00mar how close he is to the front line as if that **** has any idea. in such a good place he is

 

[GIMH]

Worth noting that Bell batted 3 on Trott's debut and it worked. Not that we shouldn't have put Trott at 3; he obviously did a fantastic job in the role. But his failures at 3 are symptomatic of the old Ian Bell and not the player he is now.

Nonetheless, make Pietersen bat there who does he think is, Tendulkar?

 

[uvelocity]

"he resists that root" itstl

 

[benchmark00]

You thinking of Strauss at the Gabba? Was a collision in the outfield which would explain is sticking out.

when lee and hussey almost killed each other?

Dunno.

I think maybe it was just Cook top edging a few that landed safely and I thought that he had an unusual way of hooking and thought that perhaps it could be a weakness. But it turned out he actually played it really well.

 

[benchmark00]

Did someone just screen cap Smitteh?

 

[Pothas]

Any chance of a run?

 

[Top_Cat]

Slater, stop talking about fast bowling.

 

[benchmark00]

Wish they would stop trying to analyse Johnson. The only thing he's doing differently now is that he's not trying to be a proper bowler and he's just playing to his strengths now - trying to hit ****s in the face.

His arms and body are in a much better position when he releases the ball now though, no?

 

[Riggins]

Yeah, was thinking this. Can anyone remember Cook being bounced out? I can't.

I feel like I remember ooh ah bouncing him out.

 

[Burgey]

Dunno.

I think Strauss was bounced out by McGrath in Brisbane, and Cook nicked off next ball or near enough to it.

 

[Spikey]

I'm a much better poster now that my eyes are on the screen and I'm not second guessing myself

 

[benchmark00]

It's a ****ing shoe. Stop calling them boots every time you talk about bowling.

 

[Riggins]

Shut the **** up Ian.

 

[Spikey]

It's a ****ing shoe. Stop calling them boots every time you talk about bowling.

the shoe is on the other foot for benchmark00

 

[social]

Cook is shot. Good bumper but geez.

Cook is one of the best hookers in the world - gotta give the bowler credit for that dismissal as it was the perfect bouncer

 

[benchmark00]

The turn of last century.

So about 13 years ago.

 

[Spikey]

"Joe Root's gotta do something here" unlikely imo

 

[uvelocity]

these boots were made for bowling and thats just what theyll do. one of these days these boots are gonna bowl all over you
