*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[benchmark00]

This is how to play when you're 500 behind...have a competition to see how many of you can get out pulling or hooking.

Well it's a long time away from home...

Australia's next two assignments are away to RSA and then UAE. Interesting to see how Johnson will bowl in in both these different conditions.

Given how well he's bowled here, he should do well against any batting lineup.

Besides his record against South Africa at least is pretty strong from memory.

 

[Burgey]

Oh dear.

Seems the instructions have been to play naturally to anything short, which I understand. But jeez it looks bad when you get out

 

[Cabinet96]

I hope Lyon makes a mockery of Pietersen.

Won't be this quick in UAE.

 

[Burgey]

Won't be this quick in UAE.

No, but he will be.

 

[Riggins]

Haddin's class up to the spinners.

 

[GIMH]

Won't be this quick in UAE.

Nobody gives a ****

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Nobody gives a ****

Good for you.

 

[Burgey]

Nobody gives a ****

This is actually a pretty fair point.

 

[Son Of Coco]

No no no no no. It's just we're waiting for our batting line up to inevitably fall in a heap, and can't quite believe they've conjured enough runs so far to put us in this position.

Speaking of conjure, twins made me watch The Conjuring this evening. **** I hate horror movies.

I went through 3 pairs of undies just watching the trailer for that movie.

 

[benchmark00]

The world will collapse if Pietersen gets out like that again this innings.

 

[benchmark00]

Oh no, Warne copying my posts. I've jumped the shark.

 

[Jono]

Looking forward to some Mitch vs. KP

 

[benchmark00]

I'll give Siddle one thing, he's a good reverse Magnus effect exponent.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah seriously I mean, ****, checking absolutely every wicket. Maybe flick the eyeballs down at the crease occasionally instead, FFS.

It's weird how commentators never mention how he doesn't watch the line.

 

[Riggins]

Magnus effect into play early. Hope there's another collapse.

 

[Riggins]

Damnit Bench****.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Can Johnson reverse the ball? At his speed he will be lethal.

 

[Cabinet96]

Won't be this quick in UAE.

**** me, how slow are the pitches going to be then?

Will Watson and bowlers of similar pace be able to get the ball to reach the batsman?
