Help is on the way

Hopefully the two prettyboys can keep up the good work.

 

[outbreak]

ABC radio saying a huge storm and hail is comming soon. Apparently they think tomorrow is meant to be worse still.

 

[stephen]

It pretty much hasn't stopped raining in Brisbane since the test, so hopefully the rain sets in down in Adelaide as well.

For those in the US wanting to watch, you can sign up for willow.tv. It's $14.95/month and if you have Roku you can watch it on your big screen TV as well (how I'm watching it - or you can hook your laptop up to the TV obv). The quality is good but the downside is that you get the Aussie feed with Indian commercials. Bleh.

Watson getting out between 50-60. Shock.

Good ball.

Is it just me or did he seem a bit... lazy on that, though?

 

[pup11]

Aarggh..... Watto what's wrong with you.....

 

[pskov]

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

Yep.

Well bowled from Finn. He's been pretty impressive in this innings so far in my opinion.

 

[hazsa19]

bowled! Great little spell, huge improvement on this morning for him.

 

[silentstriker]

Hussey would be the immense wicket! Huge huge knock for him, this.

 

[Spark]

Hussey would be the immense wicket! Huge huge knock for him, this.

TBF all his knocks this series have been huge.

 

[hazsa19]

come on tough to have a go at twatto for that one! Sometimes you've got to praise the bowler.

First innings was another matter.

 

[Pothas]

Good old Shane.

Finn been really good so far after a difficult first innings, people keep doubting that he is test class yet for reasons I understand but he keeps proving them wrong.

Massive partnership this, Swann needs to get Hussey early.

 

[silentstriker]

Someone said we may not get any play at all tomorrow...

 

[Son Of Coco]

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.

Yes, well that would be true...if a wicket's characteristics never changed over 5 days and every wicket was the same.

It's been turning a bit over the past couple of days, making it more dangerous to get down the wicket to him.

 

[Ruckus]

I'll be ****ing furious if we can't even bat the day out.

 

[pskov]

Australia's two best players of spin at the crease now. Should be great to watch.

 

[robelinda]

I'll be ****ing furious if we can't even bat the day out.

Bloody oath. Imagine if we get bowled out late today, and tomorrow is rained out. Some serious heads to roll for the next test.

 

[Adamc]

Haha Watto. Dismissed in the 50s for the fourth time in seven innings. Basically the anti-North.
