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

[African Monkey]

can't really blame the aussies for not reviewing that. It didn't look close at all live.

 

[8Ball]

I've read that Haddin is the oldest Australian to score a test century. Surely that can't be right..

 

[Pete Cash]

Bradman was 40 when he scored his last century.

I'm gonna go with not right? Hussey scored a ton on December 12th last year, at which point he was 37 years old, Haddin is only 36.

Umm, Bob Simpson??

First session crucial tomorrow, we need a minimum of 2 wickets or more, so need to rip in, they dont like pace , so short sharp spells. Hopefully Sunshine can contribute as he will be needed

Run rate wont be a problem, poms mindset is batting for a draw and will look to leave things or just defend

KP is the only scary one for me (and an arsy score from root or cadberry). Not sure Bell is this great batsman as made out to be cause of last series. I'm more worried about Broad getting a ton than Bell

England in a mighty hole here in a borefest of a one sided series

Then again, nobody really wants a closely fought even series now do they?

smacking the boring over rated poms every game (with the side we have ie no batsman other than Clarke averaging over 40), whilst leaving the little urn in our honour roll yet again

cant bet better than that

ABC were saying he was the oldest as well.

I immediately thought of bobby Simpson.

Yep, this is oh so boring...

 

[Armageddon.]

Tomorrow is shaping to be a great day of test cricket

 

[Xfactor1979]

Too bad nobody, especially me will remember this day of cricket

Barely watched or listened to those so-called 'amazing feats'

Are you English?

After losing 3 series in a row, I'm enjoying Australia taking it to the Poms. Boof has these guys firing.

Nope born Kiwi

The downside of cricket is it can be such a boring game (more than baseball), especially for a neutral observer who doesnt give a shit about "aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi", or "you are a wanker"

Sure I could wear a watermelon shell on the top of my head, or an aussie flag disguised as a cape, but that would look sad.

Especially when I can sing "Horror Movie" by Skyhooks to the style of Craig Emerson on the Chaser on Halloween. The joke's on you! :lol:

This may have been mentioned but I watched Bob Simpson score a century v India in 77-78 and he was 40+.

Fine actually, thanks for asking. It's that level of mongrel that is winning us this Ashes series.
