Great atmosphere, crowd cane to life when Haddin was recalled. This new Adelaide Oval is something very special. Hoping to see Pup go on with the job and make a big score.
Cook appeared to concede this match after about 10 overs this morning. If you concede the best batsman is the world a single whenever he wants it he will make as many as he likes. I would be very disappointed seeing the field setting if I was supporting the English. Whispering Death, $7.50 for a mid strength. Expensive enough but well worth it |

dstyle why are you questioning cooks pathetic captaincy?
surely that horse has bolted too and we all know he is too defensive and generally poor, time to accept that fact and just hope a new leader puts their hand up asap. |

andersen needs to gain a yard of pace or retire if he refuses
|
|
By:
AD, shouldn't you be doing the form for tonight's meetings ?
 |
|
By:
Only question remaining now is wether Australia will in force the follow on
|
|
By:
Wicket doing nothing . If England hold their nerve when they get in to bat this match is only going one way --a draw .
Reckon Aussies will bat through to over 500 about an hour before stumps . Bed now . |

Castiron, I have decided that partaking tonight at Pirie is not the best idea. Be assured tomorrow nights work is done!
|

Will this pleasure never end!
|
|
By:
this pitch will be tricky later on
|
|
By:
siddle will be useful on this & we have a weak batting lineup
|
|
By:
Australia will look to play safe in this session......still plenty of time and maybe accelerate later

Afternoon, BllowJob
 Oh, how the Winds of Fortune quickly turn.  andersen needs to gain a yard of pace or retire if he refuses  Last series he was the messiah  Seems the BF BarmyArmy have run for the hills  |
|
By:
I don't think so. I think they accelerate. 550 is my number, and they want plenty of time tonight to try and take 2-3 wickets. Get bowled out for less, so be it. They have decent runs on the board, and attacking will either work for them giving a chance to win, or not, but shouldn't help them lose. Really a no win situation playing safe now.
|
|
By:
Yeah, bit hard for them to hear the facts though. Easier to simply let them watch the reality.... lol
|
|
By:
Anderson 3/224 now in this series... And I am not at all surprised...
|
|
By:
No doubt he will come on again when Australia are hitting out and get a cheap 1 or 2 charity wickets to help him out though.
Again... lol |
|
By:
Any TurdBurglars of note, ie Stephy84 having a dip on here......?
or is he looking for a "lumps" transplant..."Draw" First Test, "England victory" in the Second |
|
By:
stephy wasn't seen after day 1 of the first test, and only up until the start of this one. Won't see her again til just before the next test now...
|
|
By:
Cook is a little confused about what is happening around him by the looks lol
|
|
By:
JudoPrick taken his bat and ball too? |
|
By:
what?
|
|
By:
You still playing? Well done
 |

By:
Wicket is even worse than usual for Adelaide....
You can always count on days 2,3,4 as a yawnfest here this may be day 5 as well Think this drop in will not break up like most are expecting... Eng are a rabble if they cannot make 400 plus on this. |

say it again

By:
good job Oz haven't got a spinner
|
|
By:
only fair, seeing you don't have one either
|
|

By:
As for spinners, your world class Swann took 2/215 in the first test and has 1/107 here. 3/322 so far this series from 83 overs. Nearly 4 an over with a wicket every 27 overs.
Lyon on the other hand has 4/63 from 29 overs. Just over 2 an over, a wicket every 7 overs. |
|
By:
Clarke no doubt disappointed he couldn't get 3 double centuries in a row at Adelaide and only averages 120 or so after getting out cheaply. Not quite as much as Haddin averages here.
|
|
By:
Haddin only averages 152 here. No doubt disappointed too. If he wasn't facing the best bowling attack in the world, and the best team to ever play, maybe it would be higher...
|
|
By:
Aus probably just wanting to be polite and waiting for Broad and Anderson to join Swann and Panesar in getting a ton....
|
|
By:
england 21. wow. Won't be lumping on that gem!
|
|
By:
peter siddle 20 bananas a day. Can't be good for yer!
|
|
By:
WI are now lower odds than Eng. What a transformation from 4 hours ago!!
|
|
By:
I have now been sitting here watching the best attack in the world produce crap for two sessions, where is that dimwit that claimed they were so elite yesterday?
|
|
By:
That Harris LBW was pretty terrible from third umpire, obvious it hit the pad first. Glad the shocker has come in a situation where it barely matters.
