*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Jacknife]

Does anyone know, if it does rain, how well does this ground drain. I suppose with the hot weather, it would dry quite quickly, but from the sound of things, there are going to be showers of biblical proportions.

 

[Adamc]

Should make this graph only using the stats for Watson as an opener. All of the stuff before he was an opener you can essentially wright-off.

Definitely comes out better in the 0-9 range. Predilection for middle of the road scores about the same.

Reversing now. This just gets better...

Check their pockets....

tms boys think the rain is going to slide by!

Would be amazed if so. Those camera shots, geez they look menacing.

Shot. Out of the rough too

 

[simmy]

It's OK, I've closed out my trades in this game for breakeven. Would have been a good position if there were no rain looming.

Still have a decent chunk from the start of the game on England (Draw No Bet) at 2.1....

 

[simmy]

Lightning.. this is ridiculous.

This will hurt England badly if they can't wrap it up in time.

 

[Jacknife]

from the radar pictures, it looks as though the majority of the bad weather, is going to just miss the ground.As the lightning flashes in the distance. Fingers crossed.

 

[Spark]

Seems so. Look like I'm going to be amazed.

Taking their time between overs.

 

[Adamc]

Not watching atm, is there any chance they'll go off for light soon even if the weather misses? England will probably wrap it up five minutes before the Adelaide Oval is destroyed by hailstones anyway.

England can only be hurt if the next 2 or 3 sessions of play get washed away, because as things stand the Australian line-up is just a wicket away from caving in.

 

[hazsa19]

4th n 5th play n miss?

 

[outbreak]

Tomorrow is predicted to rain a stupid amount of Adelaides yearly rainfall in a day isn't it? Today could be the final day if so and if the rain hits this session England could be stuck with a draw. Haddin's still to come so Aussies could hold out with the rain.

This pitch is Indianish.

Not quite though, there isn't enough uneven bounce or cracks. Maybe a day three Indianish pitch.

good call

 

[silentstriker]

Obviously I mean a good traditional Indian pitch rather than a runway road Indian pitch.

This one needs to deteriorate a bit more to be that...an extra day or two.

 

[Athlai]

Have money on Clarke tonning up, would like to see it happen.

 

[Jacknife]

Atherton has just said ,the black clouds that have passed seem to be heading back to them,****ing unbelievable.

 

[Redbacks]

Rain should hit in 10-15mins if it will go over Adelaide

Looking pretty dark now

And raining
