King William ROAD

[mal]

Is Adelaide Oval too batsman friendly ?
I do declare....
Since we reverted back to the SS 2 seasons ago we have also seen very good batting decks
B4 that for a few seasons it did help the bowlers a bit more ?

SA 5/477 + 2/159
QL 308 + 5/223
DRAW

8 matches
24 innings in the first 3 digs with 12 declared innings = 50% of all innings closed
Too many ?

Good news SA have not been beaten outright in the last 2 seasons
Bad news 3 wins + 5 draws

The last 2 games SA has made 10/976

I think we need to put some spunk in it for the bowlers
Spinners have found it very difficult

Too batting friendly ?
YES

Not sure what this has to do with King William Road.

Adelaide Oval pitch = King William Rd

You can run, but you can't Hyde (Park).

It may have been a draw, but SA did certainly have the wood(ville) on Qld for most of the game.

[Lightning McQueen]

How Good wood it be if we won, I'd like to see Smith field in the gully. I was watching them after the game when I seen Coopers Ale tip out all over the floor.

Probaly says a lot for the bowling.

[Rik E Boy]

You reckon Adelaide Oval is a road. The SCG has been a run fest so far this year. Tas 3/250 chasing 8/430. NSW can't win the Shield with five matches on that.

i think it is the state of most pitches os far this season

there have been heaps of one innings matches so far this season - not good for cricket
