Australia v England Second Test Adelaide

[1910]

What dose everyone think a good first innings score is? 300-350?

Timing has been the key with d/n declaration. Australia will want 350 before dusk.

 

[1910]

Hanscomb plumb.

 

[Unbreakable]

Would be happy with 300 at this stage, ball is moving all over the place, will be great for bowling tonight.

 

[Broncs_Fan]

I can see us knocking them over for about 100.

 

[1910]

England will think they’re a chance for a clump of wickets here.

Paine unknown quantity and Marsh gives you chances.

Marsh has faced over 50 balls in 22 of his 44 Test innings, getting in around once a Test. Yet only faced 100 balls in 14 innings.

 

[holdzy]

I can see us knocking them over for about 100.

That is ambitious, and would be choice.

 

[1910]

Breaks are killing us. Ill-discipline?

Runs added after being not out at an interval in this Test: Bancroft 0 Khawaja 0 Handscomb 0

 

[Unbreakable]

Enjoying this counter-attack, this is why we brought Paine in.

Wade was supposed to be our aggressive counter-attack batsmen in the bottom of the middle order, but rarely accomplished it, let's hope Paine can go on with it for another 20 overs.

 

[holdzy]

Boo Yah!

Marsh saved.

 

[holdzy]

Boo Yah!

Paine saved.

 

[roo-ted]

Don't want to put the mocker on him but Tim Paine looks high quality

 

[Unbreakable]

Great innings from Paine, nice selection from CA.

 

[Allo]

Paine out with a poor shot. They suckered him into it. Well made 50 when we needed it

 

[Broncs_Fan]

We have 300. Anything more is a bonus now on this track. I reckon our pace attack does a job on these guys on this seaming deck.

 

[Unbreakable]

I reckon we just bat to survive this session, try and frustrate the poms. We've already got a decent 1st innings total, if we can hold out until the start of the night session we'll be well, well, well on top in the game.

 

[1910]

Australia batted more overs than 2002 when Nasser sent us in.

Aus 492 and won by 384 runs.
Hayden 197 and 103

 

[Unbreakable]

Marsh is looking like a genius selection at 6.

This is what happens when you pick on form.

 

[1910]

Cook is going to need a Brisbane 2010 innings here- over 10 hours. He did get a 200 in a pink ball Test this year.

Root is going to need to up his in Australia av of 27 and 100 conversion rate. 33 50’s and 13 100’s.
