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

[silentstriker]

Cook to be McGrath's bunny.

 

[Johnners]

Lee getting some good pace, just hope he can keep it tight and utilise it.

Does just that, draws the edge from Cook, pity it goes through 4th slip region.

 

[Matteh]

Cook with a fine shot for 4.

Edged through the slips. Is Punter being a bit too cautious with his field here?

Nah, its a batting paradise IMO. Too much aggression is not always a good thing. I would just get a bit defensive and let the English make a mistake. They have some good bowlers, and McGrath and Clark can do a pretty good job of choking.

My Foxtel is playing up and keeps resetting on me. Difficult to watch just now, usually get 5 minutes in at a time before it dies.

My Foxtel has been dire all morning. Have to find my set top box in the garage now.

 

[silentstriker]

Suckers...I get DirecTV reception nice and clear on my 65" widescreen television. Brett Lee's teeth are the size of a cricket bat and Bendaud's voice booms like the voice of God through the surround system.

Doing the same thing as mine? Randomly resetting to a blue screen and taking a few minutes to start up again?

I tried to ring them, but was on hold for ages and just gave up. If it's a widespread problem I'm sure they'll fix it eventually.

My work is playing up and keeps interupting. Difficult to watch, usually get 5 mintues before i feel guilty and go back to do something productive

 

[silentstriker]

And my neighbors about 20 miles away will be able to hear a nick as soon as Cook edges one to slip.

Isn't it live in Adelaide on FTA?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Isn't it live in Adelaide on FTA?

I'm in Sydney, and yeah it is on FTA. I have Foxtel Digital though, so all my FTA channels are sent through Foxtel as well. If Foxtel doesn't work, the TV doesn't work.

I'll just listen to it on the radio until lunch and hope the TV works after that.

Very quiet 1st hour really. The pitch has done nothing, the Aussie bowlers though have bowled good lines and lenghs which has restricted Englands runrate.

On a side note Hussain saying that the bowlers, especially Lee, should be bowling more short pitched balls trying to get Strauss Hooking and Pulling.

 

[superkingdave]

Strauss finds another dumb way to get out

 

[pasag]

Strauss gone. Clark you beauty!!!

 

[silentstriker]

There he goes Strauss. Good thing they decided to keep Clark.

 

[chalky]

Just has I say Strauss hits a leg stump half volley straight to mid wicket

 

[Craig]

Strauss goes for 14.

England 1/32.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Clark
