I think a slightly less grassy track might have provided a better balance between bat and ball. Certainly good fun to see a contest between bat and ball for a change. Batting isn't easy and it shouldn't be, but its not a minefield like Nagpur and batsman can score runs.

It's not as bowler friendly as the ashes wickets. Would be nice to see a bit more seam around though

One of the australian player summed it up in the press conference - "With all the technology there and still one can't get a decision ... " - Very well said ...

DRS or not, lyon's wicket is a tricky situation for an umpire. I have umpired in T20 games and there are certain instances where i have been in splits about a decision. They are international standard umpires but that doesn't mean they won't have doubts. Since Lyon walked as a sign of accepting the dismissal, the umpires should have taken the players call and left it at that.

@uknsaunders => Nagpur is done. Can we forget it now ??

Can't keep you guys happy.

I think the ball has moved around enough.

There is enough grass on the track to assist the bowler, which you all have been screaming for, and to also keep the ball in good condition.

In Aus we traditionally have hard, dry, fast bouncy tracks unlike in England where you have green tops. Of course the ball is going to swing more and last longer in these conditions.

Unfortunately guys we can't have every pitch in the world suit your style of cricket... Even though you need as much help as possible

The term whinging pom didn't invent itself number4.

And it was offset by Warner being dismissed on a no-ball. True cricket that, bad decisions almost always offset each other I'm really worried about SMarsh's innings so far, Aus selectors always look for a reason to pick that hack. Loving the pitch, I think a few have been unstuck by the fact it isn't a road, like every other pitch in the country. Glad to see bowlers getting a bit of help.

Iv not seen much of this match, but very unusual to see a match in Aus with no team scoring above 250 odd in any innings, looks like the pink ball swings a bit in the night time from the odd bit of highlights iv seen.

I guess anyway to give you Aussies a bit of hope may make the next ashes series closer lol, only joking

It was a green wicket, not a road like usual. They were saying its the first time in 25 years that a both first innings totals at Adelaide were under 250.

S Marsh has secured his place in this team for another year. Here comes a year of failures just like the rest of his career

So what's the verdict on this for those that have been watching and Aussie public?

Commentators seem to like it from what I've heard

No complaints at all about this test or the wicket. I was thinking more about how to manage their balance between bat and pink ball in future. I think it's been far more I interesting than Perth.

Pressure of a land mark gets to marsh. Good pressure from NZ. Shame 30-40 runs short

[roco]

I'd much rather watch this kind of test than 500 plays 500

The ball seems to have done more in the air let alone the pitch than the red kookaburra

[smilley792]

Starc to win this at 11.......



That fielding was village bug uptick had stopped.


Good good test match this.
