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

We meed a genuine seamer in the side like McGrath, Siddle is not that, if only Stuart Clark was 5 years younger.

Maybe it's because in New Zealand, it is

Just look at what happened with the Australian team with Bob Simpson as coach ... or look at how Sri Lanka have become a much better fielding side than Australia with Trevor Bayliss.

Our fielding and catching has deteriorated markedly under Nielsen. So yes Nielsen is to blame.

Siddle sucking again :x

ok, I like Richie and I don't like Siddle, but Richie calling the direct hit from the boundary from Siddle that ricocheted and lead to overthrows a 'poor throw' is a bit of an overstatement.

Haddin should have been at the stumps to take it before the ball hit.

really?? you can't be serious.. Siddle should have either thrown it on the full or a bounce throw not a throw that is going to hit the stumps FFS. Siddle is a pathetic fielder by the way with a poor arm.

f**k our bowlers are bowling sh*t.

What a stupid comment.

9 off the Bollinger over.

What a stupid comment.

Where do you think Haddin should be?

 

[beads6]

Why is there only 1 slip in for Watson?? Madness seriously.

He was behind the stumps. He can't help it if Siddle throws a low flat one in that bounces in no-man's land. sh*t throw.

 

[Meth]

14 extras so far

 

[TheParraboy]

Xavier off injured

12th man on

How lucky are we to now have the calibre of Notch giving our bowlers advice before every over

 

[beads6]

Wheels are off???

hhhhhmmmmmmmm it seems the whole commentary team was wrong, I thought they all were pretty certain there was a nick there.

The whole commentary team is made up of one-eyed Australians with a jappie lap-dog and a pommie kiss-ass. Their extended whinge about the Harris dismissal & on-going harangue of Doctrove for his sensible decision was puerile and sickening.

When you are bowling at that pace, the ball will die before it gets anywhere near the slips. One slip is probably one slip too many.

 

[Batman Returns]

It really is a very poor commentary team. We all know Warney would rather be texting; he brings a serious sleaze factor and a huge ego, the oily & rat-like Ian Healy adds an air of nastiness, Mark Taylor is like some affable chump from the country who's taken one too many bouncers to the head, Bill Lawry's wheeled in from the old-folks home to scream "OOUUUTTT" in a deranged manner every now and then, there's always an edge with the cringeing Michael Slater after his head problems of the past.......it's an odd mixture of jingoism and sour grapes.

Batman Returns - generally I like your posts, but I think Tony Greig has made it clear where his heart lies atm...

He hunts with the hares and rides with the hounds. He dines out on kissing Aussie butt all these years and pumping up their tyres, then switches camps when he feels like it. What a mercenary. He owe's his place to all the loyalty he showed to Kerry Packer and World Series Cricket, and not to anything else. They should have a real pom like Botham there, dishing it out to the canary yellow brigade, not some traitorous S.A. prick in a massive hat.
