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 ?

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
Hard flat surface = Hard flat surface

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.

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.

From the Denver archives

Take the 2 points, and havamoaaaan

Bad luck mal. Your thread has been hijacked and it has paved the way for a number of shocking puns.

Puns will be laid down mile after mile in this one.

Lose the toss and field and your fate is sealed.

Probaly says a lot for the bowling.

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
