England In Australia - The Ashes 2013/14

[Kram81]

Poms should feel right at home with this shite weather, very unusual for Adelaide.

 

[Kram81]

oooh Rogers lucky to survive that referral, another coat of paint on that stump and he was gone..

 

[Kram81]

And a couple of softish dismissals get England back into the contest at 3 for 158.

 

[Kram81]

So Australia finish at ordinary 5 for 273.. England will be fairly satisfied with that but would have been very happy if Carberry hadn't had dropped that sitter off Monty near the end of play.

 

[Bluey Zarsoff]

Australia still with a lot of work to do tomorrow. Clarke needs to go on and on, and will need support from Haddin and Johnson.

 

[Brian Lara]

Tbh, I reckon it was a great day for Aus. All these "experts" going on about the wicket being 420+, I reckon 350 will be a really good score.

350 is alway acceptable though not that commanding score they would want. We will see when England bat if there is something in the pitch or expect 500 from them.

 

[Kram81]

Great session with Clarke going past 100, looking at a massive total now.

 

[Bluey Zarsoff]

It's not a massive total yet. Not by Adelaide terms anyway. But we are well on the way to a massive total.

 

[Kram81]

Past 400 now, dropping Haddin last night then the let off with Stokes' no ball could be match turning,

 

[Brian Lara]

Very disappointed with England. It's like they just let Australia off the hook. Hopefully, they'll only have one meaningful innings to bat in this test.

 

[Brian Lara]

Kerry O'Keefe is a flog.

If you're bored guys have a listen to Tuesday's episode of The Ashes Show. Looking forward to previewing my home test next week.

9 for 570 dec, can Captain Cook and Wesley Snipes survive through to stumps.

 

[Kram81]

And Johnson takes out Cook's off stump

 

[Brian Lara]

No, it's not cool.

 

[Brian Lara]

I just saw Cook's wicket. God, it was worse than I thought. Just missed a fricken straight one!

 

[Kram81]

Why didn't they appeal more enthusiastically for that Carrberry LBW

 

[Brian Lara]

Take a gander into BF cricket. Cook a one series Ashes wonder and Clarke is in the top 10 of all time in Australian cricket. It's poo like that that strengthens my support for opposition teams. I don't know man, some people ...

Probably they remember that sinking feeling of the last few years when they watched England waste theirs yesterday. Never mind, it would have been nice but the better team will win with or without DRS.

Great effort yesterday. Clarke showing again he is our best bat and Haddin has come a long way this series from the very ordinary efforts of the past. The work is ahead of us but we will see today. Possibly this pitch will spin so we need a good lead.
