*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

Bloody oath. Imagine if we get bowled out late today, and tomorrow is rained out. Some serious heads to roll for the next test.
Yeah exactly, at least if we can get through today, there is some minor chance we not not have much play tmrw...I'm starting to think though, do I even really want us to draw this? Our performance has been so far inferior to England's, both batting and bowling, that it would be an incredible injustice for this to be a draw because of weather - far more of an injustice than Cardiff imo.

Yes, well that would be true...if a wicket's characteristics never changed over 5 days and every wicket was the same.

It's been turning a bit over the past couple of days, making it more dangerous to get down the wicket to him.
Well that's the thing isn't it, you gotta take that amount of risk to put him off his line.

Yep. :cool:

Well bowled from Finn. He's been pretty impressive in this innings so far in my opinion.
He has, he's been the bowler that I thought he could be, just putting, ball after ball in the right place and testing the batsman's patience.

Dunno we played pretty damn awful in Cardiff.

Absolutely perfect conditions to bowl spin - some are bouncing and turning, others arent, and it's all at good pace

Really showing how badly Doherty bowled as the pitch hasnt deteriorated that much overnight
