Time to give the NYD test to Adelaide methinks.

Haha, I like it, but imagine the shitshow that would cause? We earned the right really, and will turn up on day 1 in numbers that even the SCG can't hold if we get that slot (ironical weather permitting)

Would we really want the NYE Test. I imagine at some point it will go back to being the 5th test of the summer and in so many cases nothing but a dead rubber.

My point is that the NYD test should be held at a venue where it doesn't rain and there are no light issues in the first week of January.

But yes I think we'd get a bigger crowd than Sydney and it would be a good test to have.

It's only the Ashes that have five test series now anyway.

Aren’t India playing 5 here this year?

Who the f*** could listen to that voice for longer than 30 seconds?

Not me, turned the telly off after 10 seconds

Later turn it back on and watch the game being held up for 10 minutes by Smith wanting a ball of black tape removed from the sightscreen coverings 100m away FFS
If i was the umpiring i'd have told him to face up or F*** off. Seriously these constant trivial hold ups are just a joke

Kerry O'Keefe going bang bang bang in the lunch break, talking bongs, pulling Kylie Minogue and pulling Venezuelan chicks.

Smith halting play for that ball of tape is as precious as I've ever seen a cricketer. That was pathetic.

Very funny segment
For Laughy801 and Laughing Mcqueen its must see viewing for material

He was just on ABC at lunch celebrating 50 years of Jim Maxwell calling cricket, his good mate.

No wonder we have a problem.

Marsh dropped. At no stage did the fielder move his feet towards the ball. Terrible at this level.

And now he's on ABC Grandstand with Jim Maxwell.

I listened to the ABC coverage for the first time this summer yesterday first session. Must say the coverage felt as flat as most of us feel about the cricket this summer.

Fair enough mate, I still prefer ABC to Triple M.

Head goes for 10. 5/205

Yet again another terrible review.

We watching the same game? Umpires Call so no review burnt?

Thought it was a poor LBW decision

Why do our crowds try and do sing-alongs?

It's not us. It's pathetic. Stop it.

No review burnt correct.

You think it's poor to be given out LBW when the umpire thinks it would have hit the stumps after being hit in line?

Agreed Kerry ceased being funny after he had a Skull with the DCC boys wearing the "Have a Skull with skull" at the Darwin test in 2004 under the old scoreboard there.

Live i thought it was going down leg and the DRS showed more ball missing rather than hitting so percentages say, yes it is a poor decision

Classic !!!!

Head slightly struggled this series. Since absolutely locking his spot in the test side he played the England Ashes averaging 36 and this series averaging 16 this series against Pakistan.

Hopefully captures his form back against WI. Best aussie batsmen to watch at full flight.
