*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[pskov]

Broad on to try and bounce Clarke out here I reckon.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Swann bowling really well, this is a big session for us. He looks like he could take a few more today, I'm backing 5 or 6 all up.

 

[Spark]

Three balls and already this is much better looking from Clarke.

 

[robelinda]

Well this is so bad for us Aussies. COME ON RAIN! So outplayed by the Poms, so outplayed.

 

[TT Boy]

stream it.

Great catch by Colly as well, someone on here slagged off his catching, can't see many clinging onto that.

"Working."

 

[Ruckus]

I reckon Clarke and Watson have to bat the rest of the day out for us to have any chance. Can't see Hussey bailing us out 3 times in a row.

 

[alternative]

Broady!!! Get a wicket ****!

get back to work then!

 

[hazsa19]

great to watch someone like clarke vs a spinner, broad needs to get his act together though.

Hes needs to be playing a supporting role to Swann.Dry it up.

Felt the innings today from Ponting could defy the way forward for him and the rest of the team, not only for the Ashes but also the for the future.
Pretty disappointed with his dismissal pretty much ensures that this test is gone as well.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

watson's playing himself into as dangerous and annoying as i found freddy the last few series obviously other way round tho

 

[Spark]

50 for Watto

Please please please don't get out now

 

[pskov]

50 up for Watson. They're as good as 3 down now.

 

[hazsa19]

Great hour for England, couldn't have asked for much more. What is broad playing at though? Who's telling him he needs to **** around with bouncers cutters slower balls.

Ffs just bowl tight and keep up the pressure.

 

[pup11]

Good 50 from Watto, now hoping he doesn't throw this away like he always does..!!

Not yet, if Watson and Clarke can bat the day out, then the draw should be the favourite, because a lot of time will probably be lost tommorow to rain (maybe even some today).

 

[Spark]

"He's moved quickly on to 16", funny Bill, I swear the screen is telling me RIGHT NOW "18"

clarke looks like a walking wicket imo

As well as Swann might have bowled in this innings, we are playing him as if he is throwing hand grenades. Hussey has shown the best way to counter him is use your feet and attack him early he is never that dangerous after that.

 

[Spark]

clarke looks like a walking wicket imo

Not this innings. He's got rid of that weird technical glitch he'd picked up and the feet are moving again.

Needs to stop pushing at those wide ones though.

Smashed.
