2nd Test Aust vs England @ Adelaide Oval

[pantherz9103]

Has no one mentioned it yet?

Lets all :lol: at Tony Greig.

"I'm thinking 1-1 at the moment."

"I'm going to put $2.10 on a draw."

Suck on it 'Moooorvelllous' victory by Australia!

Feel the pain England

 

[Twizzle]

how much would this hurt the pomms ?

they must now think they've got to do the impossible to even win a test match

Tait is about as good as young bowlers come, he has 168 first class wickets @27 with a strike rate of 44!

.

having heard all the hype, and then seen him bowl- I have to disagree strongly

 

[Southern Rooster]

for the amount of time he (Collingwood) spent at the wicket, he could have given us many more runs to chase and perhaps put the game out of reach

The Collywobbles extent to cricket as well apparently.

Only his first couple of tests.

After all the hype on Harmison he may be the most overrated cricketer I have ever seen. He cannot play away from home.

 

[Duffman]

Brilliant fightback from Australia throughout the test. Having three days to play through 3 innings is tough work. Most were tipping a draw as was I. Warnie today with the ball was lethal. While England just choked. 2-0 with 3 tests to go. This one is in the bag.

Remarkable win. But it's all England's fault... they played for the draw, and let Australia choke them today.

The run chase was great to watch. How good is Hussey!

Exactly. I think they actually turned up looking for a draw.

I have also been looking at Flintoof whom I think is a wonderful bowler, but if he couldn't bowl would he be in the England side at number 6 with the bat. Not a chance.

England need an extra batsmen. Get rid of Jones bring in Read.

Get rid of Anderson for Mahmood and bring in Monty Panesar for Giles.

That way Flintoff can bat at 7
Read 8
Hoggard 9
Harmison 10
Panesar 11

Flintoff for a specialist batsmen does not make enough runs. Put him as a bowler and any runs he does get is a bonus. The next 3 decks won't be as condusive to batting as this one was.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

wher ewould mahmoud bat?

 

[hineyrulz]

well what a win by the aussies,it must be ranked as one of the best wins ever by an aussie side. can't believe people are bagging collingwood sure he batted slow but if someone else put their hand up it would have been a draw.

where the poms lost it was in the first hour were they scored about 9 runs before collingwood even came in. the poms deserved to lose playing for a draw has bit them in the arse. by the way how good is hussey,and how good was it to see clarkey out there at the end HEY LOCKY:nwave:

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

did you catch Clarke's inns locky? or were you at the movies when there wasnt a movie on?

 

[lockyno1]

I was busy all day. I only caught the last 15 minutes of play.

 

[skeepe]

Duncan Fletcher's comments appear to confirm Borat's belief

"One bad session can cost you the match. I've got to speak to the batters and ask why they closed up ... the instructions were to have a go like we did yesterday. We included Giles because we wanted to bat to No. 8 ... we think Ashley can do a better job at that."

Sounds like Giles has had it.

 

[Parra Guru]

the whole second innings was negative from England.

P*ss weak performance, just goes to show that 2005 was a fluke.

 

[aussies1st]

Lol only took him 2 test losses, Aus 2-0 up to realize that!

 

[IanG]

What a Match. at the start of yesterday, like most people I thought it was going to degenerate into a Draw. But as the day went on I was thinking to myself "Am I watching the same match?"

 

[simon says]

Dead set that was the most gripping day of cricket I have seen......masterful bowling by all our lads(Warney and Lee at their absolute best),having to be done in superfast time....and then to come out and knock the runs over.....man I was pumped.

And the players and the crowd going off at the end just made it complete.
More please.

Lee was waquar-like
