Yep, poor carry for a first day pitch. Once this ball gets old, it won’t do a thing.
Another Boring Boxing Day Test Match.


Melbourne can have a little spell from hosting the boxing day Test next year. How good would a day night boxing day in Adelaide be? Doubt it would happen though as we turn up regardless they would give ity to Perth or Brisbane to try and boost numbers there

Crap on about how much grass and moisture there is in the pitch you want, it's dead, flat, lifeless and looks like a stinker.

A bonus if we get kohli out today. He will get a century and India will be 450 upwards in first innings.

His bowling arm was a bit lower than normal in his delivery stride.

Cummins is getting something out of it. Bending his back, hit the pitch hard. Makes a difference.

Was the former curator at the WACA, how he even got that job is beyond me.... wasn't even the best curator on the council when he worked with us

Put your resume in Daisy.
The curators in the Barossa are part timers and would put up a better deck than this

I await the ICC's verdict on this pitch. If the Perth one was average, this one is abominable.
