*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval
 

Discussion around the Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

England to bat first and rack up 1000/1

Sounds more like their odds to win the match tbh :p

Katich
Watson
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Haddin
Smith
Harris
Krejza
Siddle
Bollinger

Or Mitch getting a wicket.

You're dreaming mate.

Nice dream though.

Australia by an Innings, Ponting to tonne up. Cook to pair up.

Do not trust Clarke enough to play. Should have an enforced rest.

He looked freer third innings as stated.

However the true test would've been if he'd batted today, which he didn't. C'est la vie.

He'll play.

As much as I'd like to see changes, they'll probably go in with the same Aussie line-up. :wacko:

Why do you want Smith in there though? He really hasn't done much with the bat lately?

Nah there are going to be some casualties. It's the Ashes and they'll begin to panic

You can't get 1/517 scored against you and not make major changes to the bowling attack. Need a whole new attack for Adelaide, anything less and we'll see the same crap happening.

Will be another drawn test!!!

Doherty out
Hauritz in

And that'll do the selectors. They wouldn't want to "disrupt the team harmony" too much. Johnson will stay because "we feel he's about to return to his best form. He did have a great Shield match the other day and the pitch didn't really suit him". North like-wise "has shown himself to be a reliable member of the batting order".
