*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Spark]

Drop.

 

[GIMH]

Dropped!

 

[superkingdave]

Ah ****, that would have been great

 

[Jacknife]

Broad is due a whole stack of wickets at some point in this series, he is bowling beautifully.

Yes,I get the feeling he'll have one of his great spells.

 

[MW1304]

Jimmeh's dropped that!

Nooo Jimmeh!

 

[grecian]

Have to say I wanted the review, so can't criticise Strauss.

oohhhhhh

 

[chalky]

Hussey goes down really difficult C&B chance for Anderson.

 

[Autobahn]

Almost another wicket there but really difficult chance there for Anderson.

 

[Furball]

That would have been epic if he'd held on.

 

[zaremba]

Nurgh Jimmy, dropped catch then a nice on in Mr C's target zone

 

[GIMH]

State the bleeding obvious time, but Hussey the key here.

Get him early and I fancy we really could get revenge for Headingley.

 

[Jacknife]

Cook defo runs like Woody.

 

[Furball]

Have to say I wanted the review, so can't criticise Strauss.

oohhhhhh

Yeah, my gut instinct was that it was stone dead. While I've raged about teams wasting reviews, I thought that one looked dead.

 

[Jarquis]

Would've been delirious had that stuck.

And CMJ, wac."he's played on!" Shhh.

 

[King Pietersen]

Here's the scorecard for that Test Athers just mentioned, with Australia declaring at 32/7:

1st Test: Australia v England at Brisbane, Dec 1-5, 1950 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Seems like a pretty remarkable innings from Len Hutton. Australia make 32/7 with Harvey top scoring with 12, and then Hutton cracks 62 off 90 deliveries on a wet pitch against Lindwall, Miller, Johnston and Iverson. Superb effort.

 

[Adamski]

When Australia have lost 3 wickets for less than ten runs (18 occasions), the highest score they have got to before losing the 4th wicket has been 100. The average loss of 4th wicket score is 21.

Can they beat the record?

 

[CricKeith]

COME ON ENGLAND!

Don't let them build up any partnerships please.

 

[Autobahn]

Nothing wrong with the way the reviews are being used IMO. It's just another decision for the captain to weight up.

Use them tactically and risk having none when there's a terrible howler or be more conservative with them.

 

[Jacknife]

Right on the money Broad.

 

[hazsa19]

hussey trying to score the 2nd luckiest 100 of the series?
