The Ashes | 2nd Test | Adelaide | Day 2 | 4/12/10

[Noman]

shane warne believe in never say never... Maybe a comeback move !

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger bowling better to Cook. An ok over.

 

[Noman]

Warne scaring english comentators about his return. lol

HAHAHAHAAH Its quite funny..

 

[Sledger]

Edged away and four more to Trott.

 

[Sledger]

Trott has been very fortunate today haha.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Needs to be taken off and spelled. Bowled well until that over.

He's got some good pace. Shaun Tait would be a nice opening bowling partner.

 

[Sledger]

Oooh, four more. Slightly upish but well away from the fielders.

 

[Noork85]

Trolls have all the luck

 

[Amjid Javed]

Trott motoring here! lovely shot through midwicket!

 

[Sledger]

Hussey's drop really starting to hurt Aus now.

 

[Sledger]

Waaay too straight. 2 more.

 

[Random Aussie]

He's got some good pace. Shaun Tait would be a nice opening bowling partner.

Yeah if we played 6 bowlers....

 

[AZ]

Aussies can't seem to bowl at one side of the wicket to Trott.

poor bowling.

 

[Sledger]

Time for a drink.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Aus need to slow the run rate down for the last hour.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yeah if we played 6 bowlers....

lol. Well you have 5 already with Watson, drop Clarke/North and bring in Tait. His 10/12 overs in a day could rip through England.

 

[Noork85]

Tait doesnt want to ply tests.

 

[Noork85]

Ponting hinted he would like tait, but tait said nop, cant overwork myself in tests

 

[JibranAnsari]

5 wides

 

[Noork85]

More byes

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

If Trott and Cook can survive another 10 overs or so it should be plain sailing from then on imo

 

[AZ]

Bollinger's really overdone it with the sunscreen :umarakmal

 

[JibranAnsari]

good run rate englnd

 

[Noork85]

Doug limping?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor cricket from Aus, poor ball, tipped over and then no attempt to dive.

 

[JibranAnsari]

4 :d

 

[Sledger]

Edged away again by Cook - 4 more.

 

[Noork85]

Poor doug

 

[Sledger]

England flying.

 

[AZ]

thick outside edge, 3rd man boundary.

 

[JibranAnsari]

eng shud make atleast 450

 

[AZ]

jaffa from Bolly, Cook beaten.

 

[Sledger]

England have just faced Asif and Amir for four tests in English conditions. They are super prepared and this bowling must be fairly easy for them to play on these Australian wickets.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ponting hinted he would like tait, but tait said nop, cant overwork myself in tests

That's a shame.

Dug the rug trying his best.

 

[JibranAnsari]

4.3 rr

 

[JibranAnsari]

england have just faced asif and amir for four tests in english conditions. They are super prepared and this bowling must be fairly easy for them to play on these australian wickets.

+1

 

[Amjid Javed]

Eng 64/1 and both Batsmen looking at ease here!

 

[Noork85]

Yay wAtto! Get em

 

[Sledger]

Tait isn't good enough for tests anyway. He's very good for limited overs but he can be played out in tests because he will bowl bad balls.

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan's favourite player on.

 

[Sledger]

Nice outswing to start.

 

[KingKhanWC]

England have just faced Asif and Amir for four tests in English conditions. They are super prepared and this bowling must be fairly easy for them to play on these Australian wickets.

Good practice for the Ashes but you can never rule out a collapse with England, at any time.

 

[Sledger]

Went for the inswinger. Way too straight again.

 

[Sledger]

Poor ball by Watson, nice placement but poor timing brings Cook a couple.

 

[Noork85]

Why is watson so upset

 

[Sledger]

Cook looks in supreme touch here.

 

[Sledger]

4 more to Trott.

 

[AZ]

too straight to Trott, midwicket.

 

[Noork85]

Runs coming quickly

 

[Sledger]

1/72. England racing along.

Australia have been very poor after not having the best fortune in the first 1/2 hour. Poor temperament shown by their bowlers, losing their patience.

 

[Sledger]

MJ on the field lol.

 

[Noork85]

Johnsons big butt graces the field

 

[KingKhanWC]

Come on get a wicket, two ugly batsmen to watch.

 

[Sledger]

England going at 4.5rpo. Australia.

 

[cricfan4ever]

have never seen Aussies being so toothless...

c'mon mates pull it together or else!!!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Maiden. Another good one from Watson needed.

 

[Sledger]

Cook looks unmovable. I think Trott has had some chances that Australia missed but you make your own luck. Both look good for another big partnership.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Trott is a joke. Stands there cross legged until the bowler reaches his mark then starts scratching around making him wait. )

 

[Friend786]

trent copeland should be there in the team . http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/281974.html

 

[Sledger]

Waste of energy that over.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Didn't know Trott claimed this.

Jonathan Trott is not sure exactly how distantly related he is to Albert Trott — it is his grandfather who claims the connection — but those who look for omens will hope that when Trott Jr plays his first Test, he can be as effective as his great-great-whatever.

Albert Trott is the only man to have hit a six over the pavilion at Lord’s, the ball deflecting off a chimney when he straight-drove a ball from Monty Noble, the Australia all-rounder, when playing for MCC in 1899.

Your still a Saffer Jon.

 

[Sledger]

Steady over by Siddle. Australia need to build some pressure by halting the run flow.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Drying things up.

 

[JibranAnsari]

yeaaa 4

 

[Sledger]

What a shot by Cook. Laced it!

 

[KingKhanWC]

That deserved an edge.

 

[Sledger]

Excellent comeback. Great ball.

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

9/10 England

7/4 Draw

7.5/1 Aussies

 

[Sledger]

Watson was bowling with much better control in England V Pak. He's been well wide today.

 

[KingKhanWC]

9/10 England

7/4 Draw

7.5/1 Aussies

Someone is going to hit it big with Aus. meed

 

[Friend786]

trott has gone into a defensive mode

 

[KingKhanWC]

Watson was bowling with much better control in England V Pak. He's been well wide today.

It's o.k to Trott he can get out there or get bogged down.

 

[Sledger]

Its ok at the moment because Ponting has now adjusted the off side field. Before, it was very dangerous.

 

[Sledger]

Ponting is super chillaxed. Heart rate is staying under 120.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Cook is harder to keep under wraps, good cutter makes them bowl straighter.

 

[Sledger]

Punter's already walked/run 1.6 miles in the first session. )

 

[KingKhanWC]

Harris and Doherty should get a bowl. No point going defensive through to lunch.

 

[Sledger]

They should bring on the spinner.

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

Someone is going to hit it big with Aus. meed

i backed the draw about an hour ago for £200 at 3.35. I hoping the draw price will drop down to 2.50 ish at some point and then i will lay off at that price to leave me with a healthy looking book

 

[Friend786]

why doherty is not bowling ?
