*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[steds]

Monty putting England's middle order to shame here.

 

[centurymaker]

Monty looks sound.

 

[Jono]

Just bounce Monty for the rest of the day imo.

The bouncer being too readily deployed against Panesar IMO.

haha

 

[Burgey]

Haha, finally praising Bell once England are **** so its win-win.

Well played.

first time I've seen him score runs tbf. His hundreds in England were when I was asleep so they didn't happen

 

[steds]

Just bowl Lyon and Siddle now until a wicket falls. Keep the real bowlers fresh for the follow on.

Won't enforce the follow on. Will crush us.

 

[JontyPanesar]

Monty's short ball technique isn't bad. He took it on the arm guard and chest rather comfortably (or as comfortably as one can) and was decisive when he ducked.


his teammates taking notice :P

Won't enforce the follow on. Will crush us.

Just wanted an excuse to hate on Lyon

When you think about it, Johnson's MO has basically Billy McDermott's from when he was up there with Ambrose et al. Think it's no coincidence at all.

Wouldn't get them to follow on personally, but I think it's what Clarke will do.

As comms were saying, I reckon with Perth around the corner they'd be reluctant to enforce it. Match England's score, declare with a few overs to go tonight to give us just over two days to finish the job.

 

[Daemon]

Lyon's on. Will probably pick up Monty's wicket to pad his stats.

BBC TMS @bbctms
Monty Panesar has faced more balls than 7 other England batsman #ashes

Ouch

Don't think it's any coincidence he's bowling well now billy is coaching either.

 

[Top_Cat]

.....was what I was getting at.

 

[Noppe]

SKY commentators absolutely **** on 9

 

[The Battlers Prince]

this slower pitch makes a big difference to Bell. He's a guy in form and loves this kind of pace and bounce off the wicket.

 

[grecian]

I haven't even the heart to laugh at New Zealand, bad times

 

[Spark]

Seriously Monty has looked absolutely fine. Showed how well Mitch bowled/how hilariously badly the rest of them batted.

 

[Spark]

Hahaha what? How did Clarke miss the rebound?

 

[Top_Cat]

Spark pls.

 

[Nate]

Bahahaha, taken so many stunners and then drop that one.
