2ND TEST: Australia v West Indies Adelaide Oval Dec 4 - Dec 8 2009

[Bazal]

not yet, I always rate Hussey and Clarke as a chance of getting Australia over the line

If Watson can hang around, don't underrate him either...it's set up a bit like a one dayer, and he can score at a million miles an hour if given the chance. The pitch is still good enough if we are, but I reckon we'll play for the draw under Captain Conservative

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I always hear tripe about Ponting being the man for a crisis, too lead from the front. Yet he seldom wins games for Australia in positions like this.

Clarke is the main man, I doubt Hussey will have much impact

 

[TheParraboy]

Sunshine has the eye of the tiger, he will bat out the innings

 

[aussies1st]

In the process taking the mantle as snail off Hussey.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Not Watson's fault really, it would be under Ponting's orders to take it slow. I cannot believe the defensive approach he is taking

 

[lockyno1]

I agree with him. Get to 2 down at tea, then try and score 6 to 7 runs an over after tea with wickets in hand.

 

[hineyrulz]

If Australia were really serious about chasing the total Clarke or Haddin would of come in before Hussey.

 

[African Monkey]

Surely the Windies have someone quicker than Darren Sammy in their ranks. This guy would be considered slow by club cricket standards.

 

[TheParraboy]

LOL @ Benn, sucked in ya blabber mouth :lol:

 

[beads6]

I'd be sending in Johnson next with a licence to swing.

 

[Hallatia]

I just realised that I have to go to cricket training in an hour, so I will miss the rest of play - devestated, tempted to skip training ...

 

[Hallatia]

what a catch from Bravo! Love to see them put their bodies into it

 

[aussies1st]

Should have told Watson to play his normal game.

 

[African Monkey]

LOL @ Benn, sucked in ya blabber mouth :lol:

Sulieman does what Sulieman wants.

 

[abpanther]

Sunshine gone, nice catch Bravo

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

So much for cricket training then aye, LOL!.

You'll learn more and be a better player if you keep watching ;-)

 

[TheParraboy]

The future test captain to save the day, along with Mr Cricket

I really want to, but apparently my cricket obsession is boardering on a problem addiction (just because I would stay up til 4am with the Ashes). I will re-assess in half an hour whether to stay or go, damn cricket

 

[HevyDevy]

I'm quite surprised people here want Australia to chase down this total.

It's out of reach. Playing for the draw is the only reasonable option.
