2nd Ashes test...

[MarkCDodd]

1st half and hour and the Poms are on fire.....

The ball is seaming all over the place.

3 Aussies out for 12. 2 out for 0 in the first over.

Sounds good to me!

They did ok in the end i suppose.245 all out.
Now it's our turn to bat.Is it a pitch in favour of bowlers Marky?
I can't get the cricket over here so i have to rely on BBC News.
Well i could watch it all day if i paid for it.A Pakistani mate of mine has it on all day in his house on cable.

[MarkCDodd]

Adelaide is always excellent for the batsmen on the first two days and then starts to favour a bit of spin bowling.

When Australia elected to bat they would have been looking for a score of 400 at least for the 1st innings.

Getting them our for less than 250 makes England hot favorites to win the match.

My chain of events late Thursday night: England all out, Aussies came out to bat, I went to get changed for bed, Ken yelled his head off, I ran downstairs to watch action replay, went back to continue dressing for bed, another yell from Ken, dashed downstairs again to watch replay, managed to get into bed, another yell from Ken and I thought I'm not gett out of bed 'cos I was all lovely and cosy. I miss all the best bits.

Basic fielding mistakes from the Aussies today.

Superb batting from England.

The Pommies whould win this by almost an innings.

Lets just hope the rain forecast for tomorrow doesnt come.

This is the worst Australian bowling attack I have ever seen

[MarkCDodd]

It is a 500 run wicket no matter how good hte bowlers are.

It will be miserable to bat on in the last few sessions so England need to get a reasonable lead.

[MarkCDodd]

Well that was a good old fashioned walloping by the Poms.

A few heads will roll after that poor showing.

Hey all I live in Adelaide hence HarvAdel and this is the worst mob I have seen Australia field for 25 years. good luck to the poms I am sick of the UGLY AUSTRALIAN coming out, we are very good winners but poor losers. saw my first test at Adelaide oval in 1973 Aust vs New Zealand.

[MarkCDodd]

We don't have much practice at loosing.

I didn't see anything but praise for England after the match.

Apart from Chappel and Ian Botham having a punch up.....I think most Australian's were just dissapointed with the final collapse.
