im going to say it here Draw looks a fantastic price for a trade
just seen the channel 9 forecast, the covers are still on, and I think they will take some time to get the field ready for play
also someone on the ground on the Channel 9 footage, is holding a red umbrella on the wicket
Absolute nonsense. No way will they start on time. Only 40 mins to go to start and it's still raining here.
start time was supposed to be 10:30am.............radar at 11:10am says it wont be ready
all of the passing showers will be gone be 11:40am, and there will be an inspection+getting the field ready (takes at least 15-20 minutes) . I reckon its a 1.5 hour delay at least
MY FRIEND MATILDA (WHO IS AUSTRALIAN BY THE WAY ) IS AT THE MATCH IN ADELAIDE ,I PHONED HER UP AND ASKED HER WHAT THE WEATHERS LIKE ,SHE SAID FORGET THE WEATHER THERES A BIG CRICKET MATCH ON TODAY
Rain cant be that bad, Aussies are 1.1 now and the draw has gone from 8.4 to 11
IT WAS DRY IN THE MORNING WHEN THEY FILMED SINGING IN THE RAIN ,AND LOOK HOW THE WEATHER TURNED OUT IN THE AFTERNOON

8.40 is big big value
I was attempting to say covers coming off, mr.maxstout before my PC had other plans 
Covers are back ON!!! Mark Nicholas said on tv 'its raining heavy '
comedy from the sky lot. like a facking pantomime
IT'S BEHIND YOU
IT'S BEHIND YOU
which tv commentary set is better? The Channel 9 V Sky Sports?
got nothing to with betting.
the weather is intrinsic to the result today which is what they're talking about.

Ian Healy, Michael Slater and Mark Nicholas are doing the pitch report with an Umbrella on! Fcken comedy
9 used to be oustanding.
i loved Tony Grieg, especially with Bill and Richie in his heyday was peerless.
But nicholas is intolerable, Healy is facking one eyed eedjut, Tubbs brings little, Slats is awful, Chapelli still good.
Sky a very professional unit, with the exception of Botham who's lazy and boorish, and Warne is a puerile tit. Strauss a bit weak, but needs time to bed in.

Sounds as though the pressure is on some of us too.
Keep calm and carry on.
Keep calm and carry on.
Tony Greig, Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry are in a different class to Nicholas, Slater and Healy
The covers are still on. Looks like the drizzle might be clearing, but hard to say. The start is definitely delayed but maybe we will see some play before lunch? Not sure.
Update. Some covers being removed. No more rain imminent.
I can't bear Nicholas.
If a sport needs second-rate, hoary, contrived and overdramatic commentary to draw attention to the action and situation, it's a rubbish sport.
Cricket is not that sport and therefore that narcissistic pr1ck Nicholas has no place in a commentary box.
He ruins my enjoyment of watching the game.
I enjoyed this little story about Spanky Roebuck.
"He had the sharpest of minds (he took a double first in law at Cambridge) and, when the mood overcame him, a lacerating tongue as well. A brilliant writer on cricket for among others The Sunday Times and the Sydney Morning Herald, he was once accosted by Mark Nicholas, who penned a regular column himself at the time and informed Roebuck that they were the best cricket writers around. “Who told you that” quipped Roebuck, “your mother?”"

Dam. Start of play and England nearly a sensible price. I was hoping for more of that 50s, 70s, etc to lay.
Hoping Eng bat for a while and we get some irrationally big odds on Eng.
Geez so much drama on here. Hugely unlikely any overs will be lost
yep dont think any overs will be lost today, will get the full 90 in
Australia 2-0 up before lunch going to the WACA. (My prediction)
The money for marmalade then was 11 am this morning when they were 1.20
were they 1.20? Wow. Well that is now 1.03. Like I said, before lunch, anderson and panesar wont last long
That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Seething with rage here!
Wow that was such a muggish play Broad should get a slap for that WTF
2 players out for him there, bowling so he hits it there, and takes them on needing to bat the 90 overs out.. lol
Aus could invite them to the team meeting, tell them where they want to go out, and they will still oblige.

Just doing what the rest of his team are. Monkey see, monkey do.
No broad has batted long before, this is not the only way he can play that was a mug play
Broad thinking that doesn't give a f u c k. He's been goaded into loose play.
Wouldn't be surprised if Prior gets his 50 before running out of partners.
RMB your wantedon the football forum, something about Anderson being world class, and im not talking about Jimmy.
Just keep an eye on the draw price. Plenty of overs to go, yes, but they are being burned up nonetheless.
good for you atherton.
strauss and flower's and now cook's m.o.s for bowlers is flawed for bowlers like finn.
they are WICKET TAKERS.
18-0-80-4
or
36-8-100-2

if anything I would lay the draw and back England. If they bat their full overs they will have won the game, granted the rain stays away
England more likely to win this rather than draw the way they've approached it.
england were 100-1 on against sa in the last test match 2012. Swan and Broad brought them down to 3's
True enough, Glossy. Unless the maidens start coming in.
People still backing England. Yep, because Prior, Anderson and Monty are going to knock off 200+ runs aren't they!
hardly anybody has been got out. All self inflicted dismissals. grrrrrrrrrrr
With the next test jut a few days away you think they would at least try and make the bowlers work a bit for the wickets
at least we can all get some kip now , pathetic by england really pathetic
All not lost. Perth coming up. Should be an easy win for England there.
someone will get a broken arm at the WACA, nailed on
Botham's 10-0 prediction looking better every match.
england will get beat at the WACA if they don't buck up their ideas
At least we scored 300+ in the second innings. But if things aren't utterly transformed, we're heading for another big defeat.
England will get beat at the WACA anyway. In 2010 when we were good, we murdered the Aussies in almost every test..........but lost comfortably at Perth. We haven't got a prayer.
its been sooo disappointing , these first 2 tests , i'm fed up staying up all night , getting knackered and beat , england have played pathetically , i never saw such a start to this series , comfortably 2-0 down , never looked like getting a draw in either test , been comfortable victories for australia ....
what johnson and co done bowling on a flat wicket in adelaide was extraordinary, freakish.
dont get carried away making over 300 in adelaide, thats a low score on the averages for that ground.
poor poms have to face johnson and co on their favorite test wicket in perth, expect the poms to finish the test with red noses from wind burn as the ball zooms past. johnsons licking his chops already.

At first I thought they had lost this due to there fielding England but really they have been beaten in every department expect to see some changes from England, but that was poor and the selection of shots there in that last innings was atrocious
you will find australia studied the english players weaknesses and bowled accordingly to those. A+ for their homework
Finn & Rankin must play at the WACA - in fact why not also play Bresnan & Bairstow at least we should attempt to show we can compete - nothing to lose now as most (including me) think we are down and out
