christ come on Hussey be a gent and nick one to a fielder

Again Hussey gets away with it.

Yeah, that middle of the bat thru the gap used to really piss me off as a bowler

 

[outbreak]

Can anyone here ever imagine Watson making 200 in test cricket? Or even 150?

Along the ground too! Gah, the nerve of it

 

[simmy]

Atherton said there are weather warnings and all sorts...

Any locals around? Is that likely?

 

[Spark]

Haha Finn running right down the line of the stumps

 

[Redbacks]

256 km Adelaide (Buckland Park) Radar Loop

It's really tough to see him getting there at this point. It's hard to explain really, it's not even as if he seems to lose concentration and play a poor stroke after making 50 odd.

Durr, play and miss. Do you even know what my comment was in reference to.

It just seems to me he relaxes a bit too much after 50. Even today there was just something about the defensive stroke that struck me as lazy.

 

[hazsa19]

Englands session but we'll need a couple more at least before stumps i reckon with all the rain around tomorrow.

[Spark]

Would be sad if we lost the entire last session to rain, tbh. Clarke v. Swann has lived up to expectations for mine, enjoyed it a lot.

 

[Jacknife]

Really does tell you everything you need to know.

 

[Ruckus]

Should make this graph only using the stats for Watson as an opener. All of the stuff before he was an opener you can essentially wright-off.

England 1.73, Draw 2.38, Australia 400.

Time to put a lot of money on the Draw you'd have to think after reading this on CricInfo:

This was issued by the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, South Australia Regional Office, at 2:19 pm: "Top priority for immediate broadcast. Severe thunderstorm warning for flash flooding, damaging wind and large hailstones. For people in the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula, Flinders, Mid North, Riverland, Murraylands, Upper South East, Lower South East and parts of the Eastern Eyre Peninsula and Northeast Pastoral districts."

 

[simmy]

The scaremongering of weather by the sky commentators in the studio have shortened the draw by 10pips!

 

[hazsa19]

ffs how often has rain saved us from a pasting in Australia.

 

[simmy]

We need DL for the test matches :P
