    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    I've only checked in briefly now and then, as obviously quite a few times Channel Nine has stayed until the end of play, but the times I've looked it's a bit of a cheerleading fest. I think all three of the commentators, Will Luke, Jenny Thompson and Martin Williamson are English. Thank god I...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Is it just me, or is the cricinfo commentary atypically parochial this series?

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Come on Gilly, show these Poms you've still got it. That's what I'd most like to see in this test (outside of not losing :)).

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Nooooooo! Hussey gone! Thought it had shot through low before I saw the replay and he'd played it on. Game is definitely right on for England now. Hoggard's been bowling really well this spell. Clarke has looked fairly good, but still has a bit of a tendency to hang that bat out outside off...

    Adam Gilchrist

    I don't think I'd ever drop him - unless maybe if his keeping fell completely apart. I'm disappointed that his weakness has been successfully exploited lately, and I'm hoping he can get past this and start making runs again. Just such a valuable player to have up our sleeve, and I think his...

    "I just wanted to check something with you.... When I rub you against my crotch to shine you up, do you find that demeaning? 'Cause I can rub you on my butt instead. Ideally I'd like to alternate between the two, would that be OK? Great... And thanks for being so understanding."

    The "Rubik's Ball" was not a commercial success, consisting of only 3 parts as opposed to the 26 of it's more successful predecessor, but it still provided hours of enjoyment and frustration for young Indian bowlers.

    Still, the caption that has me laughing the hardest, and probably my all-time favorite. :laugh: Might just appeal to me, though.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    You should report this at the Site Discussion forum, a few of us are having similar problems, and reporting it in this thread. I kinda wonder if it's perhaps more widespread than it's assumed, but only a few people are actually bothering to post about it.

    Is Collingwood good enough to be a regular Test batsman?

    Yeah, but the question was "is Collingwood good enough to be a regular test batsman?". It's not like we're evaluating him as a great of the game, but a test average of 42 or so (prior to this test) coupled with his performances this series I think definitely makes the case that he has what it...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Funny you should say that, 'cause superkingdave, TEC and Brumby aside, it feels like there's far less participation from the English in this year's Ashes threads than last year. It often seems like it's a bunch of Aussies talking a fair bit of the time. It may be a timezone issue - it sounds...

    How good do you think Kevin "King Viv" Pietersen can be ?

    With his talent, you would definitely expect him to average 50+ - at the moment it's just below, which is probably because he's been (surprisingly, given how well he seems to play spin) a bit patchy on the subcontinent. I have no idea whether he'll end up being a great, but he definitely seems...

    I may have been wrong.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Could possibly need something special from Gilly tomorrow. I'm going to be very nervous when he comes to the wicket, that's for sure (and if he doesn't come in to bat tomorrow, that can only be a good thing from Australia's perspective). I can never pick what form Hayden's in just from how he...

    Pom's already getting desperate.

    More like jazz hands while he was getting repeatedly snotted. Although it should be said that some transsexuals can be formidable opponents.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Bloody hell, a post I made about ten minutes ago obviously never got through. Anyway, just wanted to say amazing stuff from Collingwood. Who would have picked him for highest runscorer at the start of the series? Definite possibililty now, although more predictably, KP, Ponting and Langer are...

    The Ashes Article Thread

    Yeah, good points on the selection issue - the conservatism on this is likely undercutting England's bid to bowl Australia out twice and win games. But in terms of Fletcher's all-encompassing rule, it was looked on as crucial when England won the Ashes. In reality, it's probably not a good...

    Ashes Commentary

    No defence of SOD's comments, but Pietersen really does own Warne at times. You just don't see it that often outside of a few Indian bats who have dominated him.
