THE ASHES 2010

[f0xxee]

(katoeylover @ Nov. 29 2010,16:56) :Have you another more penetrative bowler hiding away somewhere?  

Penetration is the name of our game.

Penetration between bat and pad all too often.....

The lack of concentration by Mitchell Johnson bowling for Australia has been duly noted by the press.

From the Sydney Morning Herald 29th November.

From the highlights I've seen so far it looks like Australia are playing badly rather than England are playing well!

Oh dear....

Not so long ago... unbeatable... now

Still when you read the names in the Aussie team its not inspiring stuff

I'm going to wait until England have had a bat before posting my thoughts However, given the circumstances another great knock by Mike Hussey.

Plenty of rain in the Adelaide area for the remains of this Test Match according to the met office making another draw the sensible (boring) bet I reckon
Unless of course England really do kick on and score a lot of runs quickly but I doubt that shall happen.

2 runouts show the nerves are fraying...

Sadly Hussey is the only highlight so far.

It's looking like this match in Adelaide is going to be a roll reversal of the Brisbane test with it being England's turn to post a healthy first innings advantage
I'm rather hoping for a lead of 200+ and then the question is....are Aussie able to bat themselves to safety like the Poms did at The Gabba.

According to the weather forecast, the next two days shall provide plenty of cloud cover with the temp remaining in the 30's, now that suggests less favourable batting conditions so a result is very possible.
Heavy rain showers predicted for the final day (if required) on Tuesday.

Odds for second test after day two

Australia 20/1, England 4/7, Draw 11/8

Don't forget, England only need to win one match and then Australia need to win two in order to regain the ashes

[guydesavoy]

Always the weather

This Ashes will be a real grind

I didn't know that but it makes sense...

Looks good for the pom - but it's looked good before!

[Ninewives]

The world is upside down - England should not be dominating in Australia!

I have no doubt that that the equilibrium will be restored and Australia will win the series.

The WACA will find them out€¦€¦.

Australia 2 1 BTW

Another Great batting display today (or is just piss poor bowling and fielding?)
