Butler and Woakes still there at Dinner. Australia have two sessions to take four wickets.
Frustrating for Oz. Is the new ball due anytime soon ? ( I’m out and can’t watch )

Butler out Hit Wicket. Weird way to go after holding out for so long.
Only the 163rd time in test history apparently.

Third time at the Adelaide Oval - 1092 and 1929 the last times according to the channel 7 guys.

Anyway, thank fuck for that. Looking very poor from our blokes out there for a long period, with a lack of plan evident.
I'll take it. Bring back Cider for Neser and we'll be right.

Dude, it's Adelaide, under the sun it's a road.
There's a reason it's the designated pink ball test every summer.
This series is like the old shit day's where England turn up and get flogged through 5 games

@mariner4life but it wasn't exactly hooping around under lights either.
Mostly the bowling plan seemed to be shit. Not enough challenge just outside off stump from the pace bowlers, and Lyon inconsistent if a little unlucky

Funny reading Root lament the lengths that his bowlers bowled, while most of his top order batsmen have batting averages that would embarrass a 90's NZ top order...
The bowlers are somewhere behind the batsmen, fielding, and wicketkeeping in the order of concern...

Trouble with the pink ball is that the danger period can coincide with a new cherry.
If a team can bat first on a road for 5 sessions they then get the twilight period with a new ball and the test can be as good as over in two days.
The need for very good openers is emphasised hugely.
England don't have very good openers. -
Fuck, what a way to get out. Poor old Buttler. Devastating for him after such a defiant innings.

That was just plain cruel. Had the makings of an innings to go into the memories.

Had he pulled off that survival heist, Alex Carey would have had nightmares for a long time...
