Agree with that assessment. A win remains highly improbable because we won't be able to take 20 wickets, especially with a track like that. Even bowling superbly to a set field will be no guarantee.
The Australian bowling was top drawer again. England had to work so hard for their runs...
The ball is doing nothing and yet our batsmen are struggling to get the ball away. I wonder why? Oh yes, because their bowlers are bowling to the field. Harmison take note.
I won't call him a wanker because I know he is one. He's my BROTHER you goon.
Anyway, I don't have anything against the original barmy army really, but the multitude of sunburnt twats in football shirts were indeed f*cking embarrassing at times at the Gabba. FACT.
I've always been of the impression that Warne & KP were TOP CHUMS. Well until that throwing incident on day 4. (Why didn't the umpire warn SW officially, btw?)
I think I also agree with this. Flintoff is no good as a strike bowler given that he can't bowl more than 6 or 7 overs at a time. It's too easy for the batsmen to patiently see out his stint. And Harmison will have to start ahead of Anderson. Not only is a more likely match winner *if* he...
Adelaide - Second Test official thread
A bit early for this but what should England do to change things?
Obviously Monty Panesar in, but who would you drop? Initially you'd say Giles, but this is apparently a slower wicket and Harmison has been all over the place. Should he be retained...
