***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

[aussie]

Dalrymple is a better batsman by far though, so if England wanted to play a second spinner he'd be a good back-up to the more attacking Panesar.

 

[pasag]

Harmison not looking anywhere near dangerous here.

 

[steds]

FFS, Australia. Declare and bowl England out already. Every over you waste is an over closer to me having AA in my avatar.

Looking better then Lee was TBH

Is Dalrymple really going to be more effective as bowler then KP.

Not really.

based on how he's bowled in ODI cricket, he should. JD turns it & is usually always on the spot, plus his batting is good enough to give you a 50..

Haha what? Lee at least got some reverse swing, bowled with consistent pace and took a wicket. He also caught the edge a bunch of times. He was a hell of a lot better than Harmison has been.

Hardly.

C`mon Clarke!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Warne to bat all day and make a century. Anyone with me?

 

[Jono]

They're both ordinary.

 

[BingLeeElectric]

Botham trying to compare Giles bowling over the wicket to when Warne went around, Sarcastically asking if the Aus media will complain about it.

He, of course if missing the big difference being that Warne was doing it to a red hot Pietersen after trying from over for quite a while, whereas Giles basically started it to a tail ender basically from the off.

Wouldn't suprise me, then again, neither would it suprise me if he got to 90 odd went for the slog and got out

 

[pasag]

Would be worth the draw tbh.

I`ll join you.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Nice innings by Clarke, but i think Australia need five bowlers, especially on a likely flat WACA pitch.

Then it is see you later Mr Martyn.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Clarke moves to 99 and on strike.

u sledge a champion and they have a habit of making you eat your words

Warne looks like he has the ****s and has decided to annoy the hell out of everyone - eng, the crowd, tv audience, me - at present, it's like being beaten to death with a herring

Unfortunately, history says he'll hit one up in the air sooner or later

 

[Slow Love™]

Hopefully not giving him the kiss of death here, but nicely made ton by Clarke here. He's taken the opportunity he's been given, and you can't do more than that.

And yes, Martyn may well be in trouble when it comes to the selection table for the next test.
