*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Jayzamann]

Weather to save the convicts?

Don't really deserve it, tbh.

 

[nick-o]

So England are effectively 0 for 2 -- which coincidentally is the position Australia found themselves in about 153 overs ago...

Looking at the weather forecast for Adelaide it doesn't look good. Weather to save the convicts?

Nice 50 by KP.

Looks in ominous form as far as Aussies are concerned.

Ooh kick them when they are down.

England have now scored 770+ runs for the loss of 3 wickets

and cook 343 with out being dismissed....

 

[pskov]

Watson is a right Eeyore in the field isn't he? Looks fed up and very reluctant whenever he is brought on to bowl.

I'm still amazed how terrible this bowling attack is. Flat pitch or not England bowled them out for a poor score in any test with only one bowler performing up to standard. Shocking.

 

[Furball]

Anyone fancy explaining to me what Watson is meant to be doing?

Helping the runrate.

Dismal performance from Australia's fielding and bowling. KP is destroying them.

 

[pskov]

The over-rate is also very poor from Australia. Still 21 overs to bowl in the day and only 50 minutes left in the scheduled time. I realise it's a deliberate tactic by Ponting to try and drain time out of the game, but I hope the umpires/match referee pull him up on it.

christ 70% chance of precipitation on monday and tuesday. Would be absolutely gutted to be denied by the weather

And people were talking about playing 4 quicks

Hopefully if there was showers, with this heat it should dry up very quickly,but lets hope it doesn't some how effect this game.

DtR 20 runs more expensive than Mitch after 13 overs in both respective innings (2nd at Bris and Doug here)
