*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Athlai]

Considering that stat where Norf averages 7 in pressure situations going unders on whatever bet the bookies have is probably not a bad shout.

 

[Spark]

Tough to catch a ball you're not looking at TBF

 

[hazsa19]

dolly! You've got a helmet for a reason!

 

[blahblahblah]

Ah, North. The man for a crisis...

 

[Furball]

Lol. Twatto. Likes a drive, but hadn't looked secure all morning doing it. Fair reward for Jimmeh for pitching it up. Ton for North IMHO.

Also, I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet or not, but as an addendum to the "Momentum: bollox or not?" debate from the first test, a lot of the criminal element were criticising Strauss for declaring and allowing Punter the chance of some quick runs on day 5 to take some momentum/form forward to Adelaide...

Evidence for the "bollox" camp, clearly.

You've got to credit England for wrestling the momentum back within the first 3 overs of the Test.

 

[Hurricane]

Garbage fielding by Cook under the helmet.

 

[blahblahblah]

hussey has been in the most supreme of his form to not get bowled cheaply so far

 

[Jacknife]

Hussey must have found a four leaf clover or something.

[LongHopCassidy]

Glorious shot from Hussey.

Husseh.

 

[hazsa19]

ffs how many lives are we gonna give him, seriously cook that was poor

 

[Spark]

He's timing them nicely today

 

[blahblahblah]

"When coming in with Australia on less than 150, North averages less than 7...this should be interesting."

pretty interesting stat

 

[Spark]

Get FORWARD North. QUICKLY

Off the duck at least

 

[Faisal1985]

Anderson has really been very impressive through the Ashes so far..what a bowler...

Now North owes Australia a ton...hands down...even if he is in **** form..its time for him to come up with that out of the blue ton...Australia needs it really bad...

 

[TumTum]

Ponting, Clarke, Wicket

 

[Spark]

Okay he's a good shout for a big one here, just off that shot.

Not a good shout at all off that one though, bat swung like a pendulum

 

[King Pietersen]

North's going to make a ton here.

 

[Spark]

Watson's new nickname.

...is?

 

[Jacknife]

Could do with getting Hussey next and letting North get a few runs, 30 or 40 just to keep him in the team.
