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

[Parra Guru]

Fkn typical Watson

 

[aussies1st]

Wouldn't be such a problem if someone else in our lineup was making big 100s but we don't atm.

Very good bowling by Finn, looks like we could have done with a Copeland to do what hes doing right now.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

13 50's 2 100's (out 3 times in the 90's + an 89)

Certainly in comparison to other Australian openers it looks a little weak. Can't fault his consistency though.

His record since scoring his last century.

56, 57, 32, 36, 41*, 51, 57

Must be kicking himself to do all the hard work only to give it away.

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

whats that now like 12 50's opening and only 2 centuries.

definitely starting to get a little concerning

 

[hineyrulz]

2 hundreds and 14 fifties isn't a good enough conversion rate for an opening batsman. 5 or 6 for mine and more bowling IMO.

 

[eagles4eva]

Maybe time for Watson to move to 6

We know that but do the noobs who select our national side know that?

Sounds like Broad has strained a stomach muscle and may not bowl again this match.

Maybe a few more pom bowlers can do down injuries, we might just be able to save this match:lol::lol:

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

44 isn't good enough lol

dead set moron

What is it without the double ton against the match fixing cheats?

 

[Danish]

Watson surely has to be moved down the order to where consistently getting out in the 50s is brilliant.


He and Katich are a complete failure as an opening partnership

 

[ElectricEelMan]

33

 

[Parra Guru]

:lol:

52.4
Finn to Hussey, no run, this time it's left alone, Finn wonders down the wicket to stare at Hussey. But his Indie-boy beard and haircut somewhat undermine the effect

 

[Didgi]

averaging 44 in 2010 idiot

770 runs from 19 innings with one NO. Averaging 42.77 idiot. Without his double hundred against the cheats it's 561 from 18 innings with one NO. Avg 33. One century (his double) in 10 tests. That's clearly good enough for a test number three :roll:

 

[eagles4eva]

150 up,

 

[Pete Cash]

why would you take out the double century but not take out every game against pakistan.

Off the cricinfo summary from acouple of overs ago
Something to make Australian fans smile. This was issued by the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, South Australia Regional Office, at 2:19 pm: "Top priority for immediate broadcast. Severe thunderstorm warning for flash flooding, damaging wind and large hailstones. For people in the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula, Flinders, Mid North, Riverland, Murraylands, Upper South East, Lower South East and parts of the Eastern Eyre Peninsula and Northeast Pastoral districts." Probably won't be playing through that then...

 

[abpanther]

Watson is the least of our problems ATM
