*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Jarquis]

50 partnership in quick time

 

[Spark]

Oh at last. Well that was just an odd - and mildly pointless - 40 minutes

 

[Aussie_Rules]

Finally England declare over to our batsman we need a good start and hopefully we can get out if this 0-0

 

[Prince EWS]

Where does Taylor bat for Leicestershire in both forms?

Four.

 

[hazsa19]

right then, a bit random but come on 2 before lunch would be stupendous.

 

[MW1304]

WAHEY! Looking forward to Jimmy now.

 

[Furball]

Four.

Hopefully we'll see him in the ODI side soon.

 

[King Pietersen]

620-5, lead of 375, pretty handy position. Jimmeh to take 5/25 with Swanneh taking the other 5 for 10 runs. Over by lunch.

 

[Pizzorno]

Just that your grumpyness was likely down to your terrible climate. I recommend a healthy dose of leaving the country and heading down to Australia to attend an Ashes test with 15000 other Englishfolk and a couple hundred Australians.

Only problem being I wouldn't want to emigrate to an inferior cricketing nation.

 

[Jarquis]

Where does Taylor bat for Leicestershire in both forms?

4 in FC and 3/4 in OD

Agreed

BTW, why was a clearly injured Katich fielding?

 

[four_or_six]

Good to see such a good run rate from us there, and we didn't go on for a silly length of time.

 

[Ausage]

Only problem being I wouldn't want to emigrate to an inferior cricketing nation.

As opposed to growing up in one?

 

[Woodster]

Went pretty perfectly this morning once the decision to bat on was made. Bell and Prior smashing a 52 run partnership off just 34 balls. Now this promises to be a very intruiging period of play.

 

[MW1304]

Heard rumours that North will open instead of Katich.

 

[hazsa19]

Agreed

BTW, why was a clearly injured Katich fielding?

He needs to open the batting?

 

[Prince EWS]

BTW, why was a clearly injured Katich fielding?

Wondered that myself. Did he spend a lot of time off the field yesterday? Maybe he needed to field today to bat in the top six - which makes England's decision not to declare more questionable really.

 

[silentstriker]

Ian Chappell on Katich: He's as lame as can be. If he were a horse, they'd shoot him.

 

[Pothas]

It'd probably look classy but still doubts over Morgan, huge doubts.

Yeah so do I but it would just be so damn good to watch, he would also be a perfect number 6 if he can cut it at test level.

 

[pskov]

Agreed

BTW, why was a clearly injured Katich fielding?

If he wasn't in the field when the declaration came he wouldn't be allowed to open.
