2nd Ashes Test: Australia v England at Adelaide Dec 3-7 2010

Good to see aussie cricket fan's sticking by their team. After years of international dominance it doesn't take the bandwagoner's long to jump off when things get a little tough.

Cooky another ton

England 2/229

I reckon we can bowl them out for under 650

Dump North for Smith and leave Doherty for the series and probably the next one. At least give Doherty a couple of series to develop to show what he's got. We are losing anyway...

Another century to Cook

Congrats to Cook, he's having a pearler of a series.

Batman - how do you manage to watch both teams with contempt and call yourself a New Zealander?

I thought only South Africans and POMS could watch a game between two sides and complain about both them.

Forgive me for being candid but this is pretty much your contribution's essence

"AUS CRICKET SUCKS NOW HAHAHA" "ENGLISH CHEAT COS THEY HAVE TOO MANY SAFFIRS"

Which is it? Who you dislike more, ie who are you supporting? The Saffier ridden English team or Australia?

As a Kiwi I don't have much love for either side. Some Kiwi's support the Aussie's out of the ANZAC spirit and close neighbours and all that, some Kiwi's support the Poms because they hate the Aussies. A lot of Kiwi's don't support Poms because of their airs of cultural and economic superiority. We perceive them as arrogant with a 'born to rule' mentality.

All I have done is point out the fact that England have 5 contracted players who are S.A. born, with 4 in their current test team. That is a simple statement of fact. If their were 5 South African born players in the Aussie side, I expect they would get a lot of grief about it and there would be a lot of grumbling that Australia have been up for so long as it is and now they have to plunder S.A. ranks as well. Fairs fair. No love lost between Kiwi's and Aussie's but why lie about plain facts. Australia - rise or fall - are doing it on largely home-grown talent.

[beads6]

I wonder if we can get away with the draw for this one??

 

[El Diablo]

sheep f**kers 5/88 :lol:

 

[Batman Returns]

Bollingers going at 5.3 an over but X Doherty is going at only 4.61 runs an over. Comparatively tight bowling from the X man.

sheep f**kers 5/88 :lol:

Who gives a $hit we are getting our arse canned by the Poms. Like it matter what the Kiwis are doing in a meaningless ODI game. WOW you are a genius.

WTF happened to this thread?

 

[Big Pete]

How do you guys think Bolly is going?

I thought he made a good start but has been pretty loose since.

 

[Batman Returns]

Will this test go 5 days? Can't believe we are talking like this in Adelaide!

[Meth]

Cook has played Bollinger (and Doherty) without any trouble today

yes started well, sitter catch dropped of his bowling too.

Damm hot out there 36c forecast. Fatigue would set in + bowling on a road, somethings got to give

 

[beads6]

Bollinger is from NSW so will escape any criticism on these boards that is certain
