*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

The POMS in a healthy position here and we have let them in. Playing 2 spinners is proving economical:-O:(

Swann should come on from Panesar's end IMO. He clean bowled Bailey last match, worth a shot if Monty doesn't get his length sorted to how it was before tea.

out of interest how do you think former test number 3 batsman James Faulkner would have gone on debut?
1/75.

I'm happy that we didn't pick Faulkner in this game. I was a bit worried that with Haddin and Johnson performing with the bat, the selectors would think we've got enough batting but you can't rely on them to perform as consistently as regular batsman do, even Bailey. If Faulkner had of played, it would have been with one eye on Perth and if you pick a player who isn't quite good enough with the bat or ball, it doesn't help the team in the current match either.

****, Clarke would have been run out there too. Bailey is very lucky there, spinners should be taking those chances.

Well played Bailers. Great placement to put it between Monty's hands like that.

Bloody hell Monty, should have held that.

Can't believe the pitch. Got the side right by the looks.
Stokes 5 overs to date justification enough in selecting him over Ballance? I picked this team so I'm not complaining, just seeing what you think.

Congrats in LMS too.
