Fosse Boy Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 I've just about conceeded The series? Deal Noel.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 The series? Deal Noel. Yeah the series is goneski
Corky Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 We should declare soon, got a great lead and put them under real pressure early in their second innings.
Tilley Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 Like Shane Warne said, declare at 09.49 when they think they are in for a morning of bowling, they won't expect it and then we can get the 10 wickets and top up the total to get the win. I usually can't stand cricket but watched abit of this and enjoyed it.
Edmund Posted 5 December 2010 Author Posted 5 December 2010 Pietersen will come good, he always does in the big tourno's. Sensible decision by Australia in my opinion. You don't just ignore a player of his calibre even if he's had a dip in form. Form is temporary, class is permanent KP is one of those players that relishes the big games and loves being in the limelight. I've got a sneaky feeling he's going to have a cracking series and these decisions by The Aussie's reflect that.
Brainy Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 Funny fact that Strauss has scored the least runs or joint least in each England innings so far
Brainy Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 KP out to another left arm spinner, the media will be all over this
FoxyPV Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 Siddle unlucky with the review - missing the stumps by a good bit. Glad that c-unt KP is gone.
FoxyPV Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 Declared at 620-5. Looks like England have this one in the bag unless Australia do something amazing.
Fosse Boy Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 Demolition job now please. Knew there was some value in sticking it out for a morning slog. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to them lot being humiliated and demoralised by our cavalier T20-style batting.

Tilley Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 I can't see us getting 10 wickets, unfortunately. I think it will be 0-0 going into the 3rd test.
FoxyPV Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 Ponting's had a 'mare with bat so far this series.
Edmund Posted 6 December 2010 Author Posted 6 December 2010 I can't see us getting 10 wickets, unfortunately. I think it will be 0-0 going into the 3rd test. We only need 6 wickets. I can see us trailing by something stupid like 50 runs and then rain stopping play.
James. Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 No concerns at all about us getting them all out. The only way I think we won't win is if the weather's shit.
Corky Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 the rain holds off. Great position we're in right now.
Manwell Pablo Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 No concerns at all about us getting them all out. The only way I think we won't win is if the weather's shit. Yep 4 big wickets down, can't see them lasting a whole day, they will need a massive performance by one of their batsman or a big helping hand from the weather in order to salvage a draw. If someone offered me 0-0 going into the third test I'd take it, actually if someone offered me 0-0 for the series I'd take it to be fair, just as long those convicts don't get the urn back I am happy.
Tilley Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 We only need 6 wickets. I can see us trailing by something stupid like 50 runs and then rain stopping play. I just think time and weather will go against us.
Haydos Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 Pissing typical. Hope it shifts on by like it did yesterday. If it does then this is in the bag http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/forecasts/adelaide.shtml
Brainy Posted 6 December 2010 Posted 6 December 2010 Cloud cover wont be so bad though. Another forecase i've seen is that it will stay dry with 0% chance of rain until the evening Swann 5-fer
