The Ashes: Second Test, Adelaide - The 100% OFFICIAL thread [Merged]

[London Irish]

Anderson doing well, Colly bats out the next over that leaves 34 overs!

 

[London Irish]

Colly dropped by 2 Aussies!

 

[London Irish]

All out - Aus need 168 off 34 overs. Gettable, England are going to have bowl well now.

36 overs left. They need a RR of 4.6, I can see them doing it. Hayden and Langer will come out firing and will definately get a few early boundries. We will need wickets to slow them down. One things for cirtain, this is going to the wire.
I can't believe I've got to go to work after this

I reckon they will come out with Gilchrist opening.

Don't they knock off 2 overs for change of innings? Good on ya, not working today thank heavens!

You could be right, this is basically a one day game now

Not sure to be honest. Cricinfo and David Gower are saying 36

 

[London Irish]

Yeah, it's 36

Hoggard is not a restrictive bowler. Another mistake by Freddie/Fletcher.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

It's going to be exciting!!!

I think they might throw the first 3-4 wickets into getting quick runs then once they go if they arent anywhere near the required total they will shut up shop.

 

[cheeseroll]

Langer and Hayden it is and 10 runs off the first over...

[Beach Hut]

Disaster for England probably

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Cracking finish

 

[Wilka]

"The irony of this slaughter, the most humiliating defeat by an England team I can remember, is that three players distinguished themselves heroically in this match, KP, Colly and the Hogster. Only they are fit to go drinking in the bar after the match with the Australians."
Charles Holmes in the TMS inbox


Sums it up really

 

[Bluejuice]

What a f***ing joke

 

[Wilka]

From the bbc site:

1812: Jones drops an inside edge off Anderson. I'm not bothered, I don't even like cricket. Hussey then swings Anderson away for four before pushing one into the covers to complete a crushing six-wicket victory. 168-4

Got to laugh

 

[Billy the Fish]

Well done england, series ruined, nice one.

 

[Gazwag]

I apologise to the village cricketers on here, but one team is worse than a village cricket team, how can a team with a lead of 551 and just three days to go lose a test match.

Monty didnt play because he cant bat or field - well f***ing Giles arguable lost us this match when he dropped Ponting, ship him back to Spain.

And as for those 4 over throws after they had already run three - 7 runs in one ball

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

That's gotta demorilise the English side.

They are going into games with 2 effective bowlers at present.

Are there any other quicks they can send out to replace Harmison or Anderson?
