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

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Oh you're such a youngun. God bless. The 1985 series win over Australia we treasure mostly for Hadlee's 9 for. The 1986 series win over Australia was pleasant too but NZ would consider "Bradmans invincibles" if we really cared about beating Australia). But the thing in the 80's NZ is most proud of is the fact the Windies could not beat us at home. Unlike you guys 1990 NZ gutted Australia. '93-94 1-1 was pretty good too.

Lol it's amazing how much you cling to me over the Hayne thread.

Does one sit behind a computer all day throwing insults and look like this?

still nothing

Swann :lol:

No - I call anyone on their fallacies, stipudity or not checking their facts first.

You just often say inaccurate, stupid or incorrect sh(t Tone.

Look at the captains thread - I've schooled you on recent Australian cricket history - (after you horrifically and completely inaccurately) tried to school me. All my facts are correct and people agree with my arguments.

It has nothing to do with the Hayne thread, but every time I see you write something stupid it does come into my mind

 

[Ridders]

Wonder what England are planning? You'd think they'd bat out today if they could, ensure that they don't have to bat again.

lunch day 3 POMS 3/449 - Lead of 204

So will Poms declare tonight? lead of 400 plus. Give us a nasty 10-15 overs,

OR bat on for 40-50min into tomorrow and add another 50-60 plus, just to make sure they dont have to face the wrath of Doherty for too long on the 5th day

 

[Mr Spock!]

Just got back from being away at work for the weekend. How is Pietersen handling the left arm spinner? Has he been troubled?

only the potent australian attack on a concrete road stopping them doing just that

 

[chefman21]

Nice work Watson. Just a nice full pitched ball with a little movement. Pretty simple really.

 

[TheParraboy]

Sunshine bags Collingwood

4/452

 

[Tommy Smith]

Good delivery from Watson.

This pitch is starting to show signs of life at almost just the right time for England.

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms 5/1008 in their last two innings

 

[TheParraboy]

bad weather forecast next couple of days, in partiular Tuesaday

Youd assume poms would delcare tonight (if they are serious about winning the game)

 

[Fast Eddie]

England should start chucking the bat at it, get a lead of about 430 and have 15 overs at the Aussies tonight.

 

[aussies1st]

Oh good now we start bowling to a simple plan instead of 3 out on the hook.

:shock: People work on weekends?

Doherty hasn't really troubled anyone tbh.

 

[El Diablo]

Doherty hasn't really troubled anyone tbh.

except the scorer

 

[TheParraboy]

Katich ankle injury, hobbling about

will need a runner when batting I think

 

[TheParraboy]

Xavier back on

Could be his last spell in test cricket, or second last if he gets a bowl after tea

 

[chefman21]

Third test thoughts...

Shaun Marsh for Katich in Perth given his local knowledge? Hughes instead? Or is it worth trying Haddin or Hussey up the top?
Thoughts on the make up of the side?
Should Clarke be moved to 5?
Will Johnson be brought back?
