Take your mind off the WC shitfest.
2nd test starting tonight at midnight.

So what are your predictions?

Another draw I fear.

Warner should instead fix it for the Windies, they could do with a win.

Nailed on draw unless either team fucks it up big time. The groundsman said he's prepared a "traditional" pitch so I doubt either team have the firepower to take 20 wickets. Still sould be a good watch though.

i voted draw but ive changed my mind. we are going to lose the toss and bowl them out modestly before racking up a first innings monster - 600+. Swann will then go through them like a spoonful of mercury.

If this pitch plays to previous form, one team has to lose this as it is a batsmans paradise, however, one quick clatter of wickets or a quickfire ton might well swing this.
I'm hoping we bat first and see off the new ball and post 240-2 at close

Really think we can win this one. Thought we bowled really well with zero luck in first test so we will restrict them to at least one low score which I think will be enough given their lack of firepower. We wont be suffering from the nerves we did in our first innnings in Brisbane

Anyone got any odds on centuries and the like? Really fancying Cook to score big again. Probably out for a duck now though. :glare:

Ladbrokes have Cook at 4/1 to score a ton in the first innings

I predict about 9 balls before I fall asleep on the sofa.

I don't think anybody would have predicted the Aussies would be so hopeless, especially on such a flat track, I wonder what the odds would have been on an innings victory.
