Dec 3-7: 2nd Test: Australia v England at the Adelaide Oval

[ajdude]

Broad's out of the Ashes and ODI series', huge blow for England, you'd think they'd bring in Tremlett instead of Bresnan, it's not like you guys need batting cover anyway.

 

[darthlewis1]

Stuart Broads out for the series, Tremlett at perth?

 

[ferg512]

I reckon give Shahzad a go maybe? I think that will hurt England because although he hasn't taken wickets he has generally held up an end.

 

[Sureshot]

Prior drops a feather from Swann, very sharp turn and bounce, should've taken it, but not easy.

New ball taken. Oooh...

 

[aussie1st]

Finn seems to be standing up so not a big loss considering hes done nothing so far. Shahzad caused our A batsmen problems and one of them will probably be in this lineup so worth trying him again but that would mean the selectors admitting they stuffed up with the original squad.

 

[RoboRocks]

Costly drop. Hussey is playing well and could be the one to bat the day.

Anderson and Finn have been bowling rubbish with the new ball so far. England can't afford to waste it.

 

[ajdude]

Feck. This is like the biggest dilemma ever, I want North to fail, but at the same time I wouldn't mind a draw.

 

[MUFC1987]

No Hussey-Haddin partnership today then, thank god for that.

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmm looked a very average shot especially after the loud shout the ball before. Let's just get the rain to come down so I don't have to worry about North saving the game with a career saving 100.

 

[RoboRocks]

The stage seems to be set for North to play a brilliant innings!

Might be an idea to get Swann back on soon. Haddin will struggle against the spinner first up.

 

[Sureshot]

Hmm, looking a bit way ward with the new ball, even if we did get the wicket. Give it a couple more than get Swann back on.

 

[MUFC1987]

That was brilliant from Anderson, almost unplayable.

MUFC1987 added 3 Minutes and 46 Seconds later...

Don't leave those, especially on a king pair.

 

[darthlewis1]

England can't lose now, I was also going to get up at 5:00 instead of staying up to watch this.

 

[aussie1st]

Oh no this will justify the selectors bringing back Johnson to shore up the batting. Excellent spell of bowling from Anderson.

 

[ARay]

Let the rain gods hold the rain for 3 more wickets!
Then it can flood there for all I care
