The Ashes | 2nd Test | Adelaide | 7/11/2010 | Day 5

[KingKhanWC]

Can Haddin do a :kami to save the test?

 

[Noman]

swann neeed to bowl if England want to win this

 

[Friend786]

warnie is a humorous guy

 

[ads101]

And by a distance.

He has been England's best seamer in this innings by far. Broad was ordinary and James 'Jekyll and Hyde' Anderson has been rubbish.

Broad's been pretty decent but Anderson hasn't.

For some reason Broad just never seems to take wickets. Bowls well and doesn't give many runs, but often goes wicketless or just takes 1 or 2 wickets. It's starting to become a habit for him. Maybe he needs to chuck in a few bad balls to mix it up like Finn .

 

[ads101]

Broad is injured and ruled out.

oh ok.

 

[*sallu*]

5/280

 

[Noman]

Anderson is bowling rubbish no chance of taking wickets

 

[*sallu*]

If the Aussies bat for another hour or so - the nerves will start appearing for England as the rain will be very close

 

[Noman]

Swann on lets see what happend

How much will the bowl spin?

 

[*sallu*]

Swann is in

Crucial period of the game

 

[James]

We only really need 1 more wicket to take control of the game completely. Harris at number 8 in test cricket = buh

 

[Friend786]

[KingKhanWC]

Here comes the Swann. I fed some bread to Swanns today.
