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

[Johnners]

Should Clarke look to go on the attack?

Hope so... same for Lee, go out and tonk a few, get us even/in front and maybe declare and have 10/15 overs at England tnite.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Good innings from Warne. Every now and then he plays a knock which shows how good he might have been with the bat with a bit more effort over the years. Really patient and perfect for the situation.

Can't praise Clarke enough either. His effort in re-working his style of play has been fantastic, and he's undroppable now. Martyn, say goodbye.

 

[Josh]

Shoulda put money on the draw before the match.

 

[Laurrz]

does n e 1 think we can roll England for 200 ?

Na there's nothing in the pitch...

 

[Perm]

I'm a big fan of Damien Martyn and I'll be very disappointed if this was the end of his test career. To me it's never really looked like he has been comfortable since being dropped after last years Ashes which is a shame ebcause he was in such sublime form beforehand. Still, don't discount him. People were saying his ODI career was over before he produced the goods in the Champions Trophy.

well India rolled us for 190 couple of years ago.. i think that pitch was a bit more uneven tho

 

[pasag]

Ffs, bring on the bowlers already.

 

[Matteh]

Hoggard!

 

[Dravid]

Hoggard picks up Clarke and gets his 6 for so far.

 

[pasag]

Hoggard gets his 6th. Clarke out for 124. Blessing in disguise imo.

 

[Nate]

Gah. Ah well, great innings Pup. Hoggard you starrr.

 

[Nate]

Top ball to hit the top of leg. C`mon Pidgeeeee.

 

[Slow Love™]

Hoggard making a play for beating out Colly for MOM.

Your forgetting how Warne is going to take 8-fer in the 2nd dig to lead us to a small 150 run chase for victory

 

[Slow Love™]

I thought maybe Ponting might declare here with nine down, just to deny the English the satisfaction of bowling the Aussies out. I guess it makes things pretty clear as to his approach.

That could do the job... His battering at the hands of KP and subsequent defensive tactics might count against him though.

 

[pasag]

Giles can't buy a wicket here, doesn't even look threatening against McGrath. Hoggard has done so well though, put in the hard work and came off with a real fine performance, stand out of the series for me so far.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Anderson gets his final wicket of the series.
