*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Prince EWS]

Baa boy Craig White average of 16 with the bat and 48 with the ball in Ashes cricket

Do these blokes here wear an eye patch>? bloke was ****.

It's almost as if he played cricket against other countries.

 

[Burgey]

I was just watching the Australians do their warm up, and whilst batting in the nets Clarke got hit in the nuts

Will retire with the most bruised balls in the world.

This generally means he makes a big score doesn't it?

 

[MW1304]

Blewy rocking the slims.

I'm not sure he knows that there's more countries beyond us and the Kiwis.

So is there to be a CW Adelaide meet-up for post-play drinks or what, ****s? I gotta tell you, I'm down.

Just means he's batting itbt. **** gets hit every innings.

Riggs is still at the pub from last night, I'm sure he's keen to kick on.




Puff of dust on that Rogers wicket. Just know it's going to be LBW central on day 4/5.

a feel good story as Spikey opens up a new box of splits

Just a warm glass of milk for me.

I'll say my longstanding piece, 200 will be bloody tough to chase in the 4th innings.

I can see one side being bowled out cheaply in their 2nd dig but not sure who. We may need a 70 run lead minimum to stand any chance.

I don't understand the reports that England are supposed to be happy with this score at the end of day one. Yes, it's a flat pitch, but there are 273 runs on the board and still 5 wickets to take.

 

[Top_Cat]

Added to that you've got a couple of guys who are skiddy nightmares to face when there's any uneven bounce; Harris and Siddle.

Who's saying that England are happy?

Yeah I really think Siddle should come into his own in the second innings in particular. Can use some reverse tang and can just skid onto the stumps searching for that LBW.

Add to that Australia's bitch of a tail and I don't think too many fans are happy.

Haven't read through CW, just this from the day's wrap on Cricinfo:

That is stumps. So, England will be pretty happy with their efforts on the first day of this Test after being asked to bowl first on what looked like a very flat pitch

 

[NUFAN]

n00fers, what is a par score for Siddle today?

No market for it yet, but I would imagine around 14.5 paying $1.88 would be the go.

 

[wiff]

What a ****ed evening it was yesterday, blackout for over two hours, whole suburb was down couldn't even go and buy a beer. So did I miss anything?

BTW we should double our score, as we still have 5 wickets to go and the best batters still to come.

 

[benchmark00]

Coca Colah.

 

[GIMH]

Not staying up long tonight so hopefully a couple of wickets will fall so I will sleep a little easier

Don't worry though, office day tomorrow so ill watch the whole of the evening session and share my insightful thoughts with you all before I head to work
