***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

[Starfighter]

It won't matter, Maxwell fails the Lehmann test while MMarsh passes, and the latter's decent batting form combined with the fact he's bowling again will be enough 'justification'.

 

[Cow]

Neither Eng or Aus are gonna win an away Ashes series for awhile..

Eng look shellshocked against genuine pace

Aus can't play the swinging ball.

Honestly Anderson is the biggest downhill skier in world cricket. He pretty much doesn't seem to put in any effort unless the conditions are favorable or he is already on a roll. If he bowled like this in Brisbane, who knows how England might be going. Instead his bowling has been insipid and uninspiring. Now that he's picked up a few he's actually bowling decently.

Ironically is the exact behavior of a bully - only picking on the weak and vulnerable.

He was one of their only good bowlers in Brisbane.

Still could be pitching it a bit further up, could Anderson.

Absolute horse****.

Tell me Stephen, do you inject it or smoke it from a pipe?

 

[Starfighter]

Who's Curran on the field for?

Just realised everyone is going on about the follow on but absolutely no one cares at all that Australia declared on less than 450 in the first innings with a set batsman on over 100 at the time.

Anderson's pitch map looks like McGrath's (under an electron microscope).

 

[adub]

I don't think Phil Hughes ever looked as awkward or troubled as Handscomb did today.

He gave up in the second innings in Brisbane and didn't show any real effort at all until last night.

The first innings declaration was pretty good. Once we got the English 7 down the bowling was tripe. Honestly we haven't played well for the last two and a half sessions.

It's handy when it's the facts.

You can't tell me that Anderson was putting in the same effort in the first innings or the second innings in Brisbane.

500 test wickets. All in favourable conditions right? OK, I forgive you. You're awesome.

I mean it's all mostly pointless as Australia are still 90% likely to win. But if you're looking for something to complain it can at least join the conversation.
