2nd Test: Australia v South Africa at Adelaide 22-26 Nov

[IanG]

Punter chops on for 16

 

[hineyrulz]

Time to go Ricky.

 

[BunniesMan]

Ponting gone. Played all around it, looked very slow, chops it onto his stumps. 16. Surely he's got to go.

 

[IanG]

Siddle sent in as Night watchman

 

[African Monkey]

That was awful from ponting. Didn't know what he was trying to do with that ball.

 

[Danish]

looks like we are in real trouble, but Hussey and Clarke scored about two thirds of our runs in the first innings so providing Clarke stays in we are still in good shape.

Still, SA in the box seat for a victory now. 1 more wicket tonight and we are in all sorts

 

[some11]

f**k.

 

[IanG]

Siddle gorrnne!!!! Caught behind off Tuna Morne 5 for 103

 

[hineyrulz]

We will lose this FFS!!

 

[Danish]

The game, and series really, rests on this partnership

 

[hineyrulz]

13 wickets today, so much for a terrible road like pitch which is killing cricket. It's a top quality pitch, you bat well you score runs and if you bowl well you can get wickets. It gives everyone a chance.

 

[hineyrulz]

We are watching the real Steyn in this spell.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lead is 273 with 5 wickets left, we need at least another 100 IMO.

Horrible last session for us. Punter looked shit from word go. When will he finally do the right thing and walk away. Quiney is shit and never should have been selected. Need Clarke and Hussey to form a little partnership tomorrow. It will be tough without Pattinson when it is our turn to bowl.

 

[BunniesMan]

I reckon if the lead is 350 it's even money. Any less, they should win. Any more, we should win.

 

[TheParraboy]

Half expecting Channel 9 to release a limited edition Rob Quiney signed bat commerating his brilliant 9 on debut.

Be quick though, there is only 9 available

Malcolm Conn will buy one, at least...

The coach will buy one, best 9 runs he has seen wasnt it?

Quineys wife will get one as well

be quick, they are selling fast :crazy::sarcasm:

 

[TheParraboy]

Need to bat the whole first session tommorrow at the very least, preferably bat till 1hr after lunch . have a good 400 lead with 4.5 sessions for SA to get the runs, or us get the wickets

 

[Spanner in the works]

Have a cry :lol:, what a suprise on day 3 the wicket is taking some turn and starting to play up and down. Like it has done forever :crazy:. And did the wickets back then have plenty more in them or were the bowlers back then much better??? I reckon the bowlers of that time were just a lot lot better.

:lol:

Flat track bullies like Watson, Warner and Haddin would not survive Test cricket in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. You like roads. I hate them.

Who said i like roads??? 13 wickets today on a road :lol:

The wicket started to turn and play some tricks just like most Adelaide oval wickets of the last 30 years. This is a top cricket wicket, bit in it early, flattens out to a good batting track and then by day 4 and 5 the bowlers come into it. Well they came into even earlier on day 3. Yes the wickets these days may be more batting friendly but i believe the bowling quality is just not there anymore. If you had a whine about the wicket in the Gabba test i wouldn't have said boo because by and large it was a disappointing wicket but this Adelaide wicket was nothing that we haven't seen for 30 years.

Heals,Slats and Tubby probably already have one at home.
