Top order fail again.
- Thread starter The Fence
- Start date
I was thinking that The Fence would smack them over The Fence.
Well, hindsight is great isnt it, but thank god The Fence was smacked over the fence by our top order in the second innings.
Well done to the team for rallying around Mr Johnson and putting the dagger to the Poms !
Lets see what Adelaide brings. It's certainly brought this series alive.
Nothing better than beating the Poms.
Who cares?
The possibility of some dirt from Warney is far more exciting!! We get to see Liz on the screen a few more times if that happens.
What is also really funny about footy supporters is they all whinge about how bad every other team's skanky supporters are - especially my beloved Pies! - but their team's supporters are supposedly full of godliness and flowers.
I've been to hundreds of AFL matches of all the teams, and I can promise that every single team's supporters are shocking (except for possibly the MCC Members); slag their own players as well - which I cannot fathom.

Come on BV, she is starting to look a bit old mate, what about Pups WAG she looks better
When you are my age; the market has lot more selection of ages.
Who is "Pups"?

I like her, but jeeezus H; there are a million other awesome babes they can stick on the screen and the papers.
Don't start me on Clarkie's ex-missus.

Pup is referring to Michael Clarke who is married to Kyly Boldy ...some underwear model
But aus just lost two wickets for like two runs to start
Meh. They don't need much of a total. I think they just need to bat for a day maximum. They may even declare early just to make it seem a little interesting.
I'm certainly no cricket expert, but wasn't the cracks in that WACA pitch a big embarrassment? I've never seen anything like it and it would be similar to a pitch you'd see in a little country cricket comp. The ball spearing off at all sorts of angles when it hit a crack.
Surely there is a certain soil type that you don't use for a cricket pitch, and whatever the WACA pitch soil type is, that's the one not to use. I'd guess there was too much clay in it and not enough silt and sand? But I also suppose the extreme heat didn't help?
These days I'd have thought the soil type of all the big cricket grounds in this country would be sorted and these problems wouldn't happen?
Any experts here who knows what the problem was? I'm just speculating as per usual?
See ya's.

Yeah, got that. But these have been the rules for 100 and so years. Has a pitch ever been that bad before in recent times? I don't remember one?
See ya's.
Apparently the WACA wicket is famous for developing cracks, part of the problem is when they get a heatwave the wind is from the east so it is extremely dry.
The past few days have been 40c and they are not allowed to water it so it dries out and cracks.
They mentioned in the paper that Geoff Marsh once stood his cricket bat up in one of the cracks back in his era.
They showed them on TV filling the cracks on the crease with some soil but the ones down the wicket were left untouched for some reason as far as I could see.

I thought it was fantastic.. brings another element into the game which the bowlers love. It would be boring if all the pitches were all exactly the same.
It's a bit like the variety in the tennis grand slam, grass in wimbledon, clay in france and different hard courts here and US.
