Australia v England | 2nd Ashes Test | Adelaide | Day 5

[On_the_up]

The final day.

The day Australia virtually regained the ashes??

 

[Buffet]

How is weather prediction for the whole day? If poor light interferes then Eng should try to bat for time.

 

[khalil1986]

If weather intervenes England might get a draw however if Australia bowl more than 50 overs than game will be done and dusted.

Bit of rain at the moment, rest of the day mainly cloudy but dry.

Don't think it will save England.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Need to get Prior and Broady early or else they may delay the Aussie victory. Mitch needs to crank it up

Well, rain is not an issue. Issue may be the poor light.

 

[On_the_up]

Broad and Mitch were going hammer and tongs before the close last night.

If Broad survives for a while, it might be quite entertaining.

 

[khalil1986]

LOL Broad gone, what was he thinking?

 

[On_the_up]

Broad gone already.

Siddle the spoilsport

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mitch needs two wickets, to get a tenfer

 

[On_the_up]

Glorious shot off the back foot by Prior.

 

[asifp]

horrible cricket from Broad.

two fielders in the back exactly for that shot and he plays that. Silly stuff really.

Didn't fancy facing MJ?

 

[asifp]

Didn't fancy facing MJ?

or just an idiot.

England batsman need to show more patience.

Need to dig in.

If Monty could bat out an hour so can these guys

 

[Aman]

What a cracking shot from Prior.

 

[On_the_up]

What a shot by Prior.

Making MJ look ordinary.

Fantastic pull over midwkt.

 

[On_the_up]

Prior looking in prime touch today.

 

[Aman]

Priors return to form will be a positive to take into the Perth Test.

 

[On_the_up]

50 for Prior.

Super inns.

 

[Jo_Don]

Big fan of Prior, great to see him get some runs again.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Prior vs MJ

27 runs of 27 balls, 6 boundaries

 

[Buffet]

Johnson needs to clean up tail now.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Prior looks good for a hundred

 

[On_the_up]

Prior with another 4

Eng 286-7

68 runs off the last 10 overs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

shot of the day

 

[Kwremb]

At least one positive for England prior back to some sort of form, Cook is the problem at the top of the order

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ryan Harris strikes

 

[On_the_up]

Johnson off, Harris on.

and Swann is

 

[Buffet]

Another 2 to go.

 

[On_the_up]

That was a poor shot, you have a guy at the other end in top form and you get out to a nothing shot, almost catching practice.

 

[Sledger]

Anderson in on a king pair lol.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Johnson vs Jimmy will be fun

 

[On_the_up]

Stunning stuff from Prior.

:4

 

[Sledger]

Avoids the pair with a neat flick. Prior to tee off now?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

oh no Prior bashed Johnno out of the attack

 

[Buffet]

Prior is looking good here after a long time.

 

[On_the_up]

300 up

Prior moves to 69

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Prior gone

 

[Sledger]

300 up, a bit of fight shown in this innings.

 

[On_the_up]

Another one bites the dust.

Prior

 

[Sledger]

Prior goes, game almost done.

Congratulations Aussies on winning the Ashes

I would like to see Cook get his form back

 

[Buffet]

Eng seriously need to practice ducking for the next test match. Whole team has been awful in hooking but still try to do it and lost so many wickets. Next test match, Aus is anyway going to give more chin music. They should simply avoid playing and if can't get out of the line then take some blows on body like Monty did.

 

[Saqs]

England better shelf the hook shot in Perth. This is getting Pakistani style ridiculous.

 

[asifp]

Such poor stuff from England.

Poor fielding, dropped catches of both Clarke and Haddin.

Lots of soul searching after this game.

Need to get Finn in for the next game

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ha Ha I love Siddle's reaction

 

[Sledger]

Seem to be trying to get Anderson caught somewhere around legslip. Must be a plan for the great left hander.

 

[Aman]

Watto laughing at Anderson

He's outscored you Watto )

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ Watson.

 

[SL_Fan]

Only half a wicket away now

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Aussies win

 

[SL_Fan]

GoooOOOOOoNE!

 

[On_the_up]

Its all over.

 

[Sledger]

312 ao.

 

[asifp]

congrats Aussie.

over confident England have been found out

 

[Buffet]

Fat lady is singing.

A bit better performance by Eng in this inning but still not a good performance in this flat wicket. Many players played bad shots.

 

[Sledger]

Harris' test record just keeps getting better. Total beast.

 

[OZGOD]

All over OZ 2-0 up

Can't see England coming back from this.

 

[Sledger]

England have never come back from 2-0 in Ashes cricket.

 

[asifp]

Harris' test record just keeps getting better. Total beast.

too bad he is Shoaib Akhtar v2.0 as far as injury goes.

Already is 34 years old, probably has 2 years left in him.

 

[SL_Fan]

Congrats Aus what a come back. Who would have thought Aus would be going to the Perth Test leading 2-0. Lehmann take a bow. What a difference he has made. Looks a vastly different side under him. No side has come back after being 2 down in the Ashes so it's for Aus to lose now. MJ for another MOM!

 

[Aman]

Harris averaging 22.06 now

 

[khalil1986]

Congrats to Australia.

 

[khalil1986]

Harris averaging 22.06 now

Beastly bowler.

 

[Buffet]

Lehmann take a bow. What a difference he has made. Looks a vastly different side under him.

Yah, Lehman aggressive brand of cricket helped this team to play better.

 

[SL_Fan]

Yah, Lehman aggressive brand of cricket helped this team to play better.

Plus he seems to have somehow united this team as well. Looks a completely different side out there.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

MJ man of the match again

 

[Ims1]

MJ rightly adjudged MoM .

 

[OZGOD]

This was a massive win for Australia. Along with Sydney this was the least likely Test to win for them. Amazing bowling from MJ on Day 3 set it all up.
