2nd Test: Australia v England at Adelaide Dec 5-9, 2013

[Armageddon.]

Mark Nicholas sounded like he was enjoying that little dance a bit too much

Get Haddin to 100 and then declare

No thanks! 45 min before stumps declare

 

[madunit]

I wouldn't declare until we've hit at least 550.

Conditions are still perfect for batting today, tomorrow and possible even the first half of Day 4

 

[8Ball]

Hmm..Prior. Should have had a go at that.

It is a road! I agree, would even just bat it out to be honest and belt Swanny!

 

[jargan83]

Keep batting until after Tea.

Maybe give the Poms a nasty session before stumps.

 

[ek999]

Johnson you idiot

 

[some11]

Horrible shot from Johnson.

 

[Pete Cash]

Johnson really needs to bat like a proper batsman. That said no doubt that was captains instructions so we can't be too harsh. It's just Mitch never does well just swinging..

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Ahhh, the old "let's just not count the big scores" argument. That's always a winner!

Let's just agree that they're both great batsman. I just don't think Clarke is the best player of spin in the world, or the current no.1. But as I said earlier there isn't much in it.

You're not telling the full story so you can suit your own argument.

How many tests has Amla played in England & India compared to Clarke? Half as many.

The 311 not out is worth 30 runs to the average. It's easy to say "well he averages 102 in India" when you do t say "he made two huge scores in his last 2 innings and not much else before it"

You're making Amla sound like Bradman over the space of 7 tests

 

[jargan83]

Derp shot from Johnson

 

[8Ball]

Hahahahah Siddle's bananas..

 

[some11]

Sids and his carton of bananas :lol:

 

[madunit]

Sidds needs 117 runs to crack 1000 for his test career.

Do it now son!

 

[Liddell]

Too old, bring back Wade or Paine.

Great work Hads

 

[some11]

Well done Hads.

 

[jargan83]

Great work Hads

I bet Stokes really enjoyed that :lol:

 

[Patorick]

Too old, bring back Wade or Paine.

Great work Hads

Or some other Nevill.

 

[Armageddon.]

Too old, bring back Wade or Paine.

Great work Hads

Depressing that we f**ked around with those 2 hacks when Hadden still has plenty in him...
