*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Burgey]

Looking ahead, it seems unless KP goes a bit mental, England will need to bat until the middle of the second session on day four to be close enough to have a shot at a chase if Australia falls over in the third dig.

If that were to happen and they were around 450, they'd be an outside shot if they skittled Australia for 100-120 second time around. If they aren't that close though, and get rolled for around 400, they'd be looking at a last day chase of nearly 300 if we get rolled cheap, and I think that would be too many on this deck.

Swann so bad. Loving life.

australian captain scores 1000 in a calendar year and we've won 2 tests

the way clarkeh got out, the ball held up greatly. imo a deck for fourkers, and that's nothing to do with whether we batted so well we didn't need 6 bats, because we did - that partnership with bails bailey was vital. but it's that kind of deck or i'll buy you a packet of DORITOS "FINGER CLEANER" - 2014 CRASH THE SUPER BOWL - YouTube

This is what is used to be like following an away ashes series. I had rather forgotten.

I just saw Monty's effort down at fine leg.

What the **** was Monty doing at fine leg if England were going to bowl bouncers?

Sounds like Warnie yelling "thank you!" They were talking about him getting the hundred and Warnie had literally just said something like "I reckon he'll hit one behind square on the legside for a single."

Davey's high-five at the one minute mark looks so reluctant and awkward.

Edit: Actually scrap that, the whole thing looks so reluctant and awkward.

warne

the highlights reminded me of the context: as the bowler was coming in. warne predicted that the run would come on the leg side/behind square. so whatever he's saying is related to his successful prediction

guess it could have been warnie

that explains "i knew, i knew" then

It actually sounds like he's saying "debut" to me.
