The Ashes 2010-2011

[Browny]

So whats the weather like for the next 2 days

 

[Coxy]

Shower or two tomorrow. Showers Tuesday. Not enough to save Australia.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Rumours of rain and we need it haga

 

[Browny]

Just what anderson needs some moisture in the air [icon_non

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

A wet ball won't usually swing though.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Fine weather in Adelaide..... :cry:

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Pomgolian players and commentators are posting beaming pics of sunshine on Twitter. Hopefully the weather will move in this arv at some stage. There's a few nice looking blobs of rain stretching about 150-400 k's west and tracking straight for Adelaide. We'll need at least 2 of the 5 sessions we'll need to bat to be washed out IMO.

Our batsmen have got us into this mess so they need to pull their farking fingers out big time today.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Problem is with the humidity hanging around the ball will be swinging around. We know how the aussies go against a swinging ball. Pitch is starting to stay low as well. Katich is also injured not sure how serious or if he will even bat. [icon_shru Summer of cricket so far has been a disaster.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Poms are coming out for a slog fest, but really, a confident and in form team would be out on the field now ripping into a fragile batting order and putting one hand on the urn.

Unless I'm missing something, this is a bit piss weak from Strauss IMO. But less time batting is good enough for us I guess, especially with the weather forecast.

The ball is swinging as well.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

LOL @ Katich running off the field. He's rooted if he's been like that for most of the Test. Probably shouldn't play in Perth. Fooking hell.

I love the mindset of our batsmen right now, Openers playing there shots is what is needed right now. Let it rain .

Yep, take the fire out of the quicks while Strauss has the field up. Great approach, but a long way to go yet. Hope to see us no more than 4 down at stumps, taking the possible weather situation into consideration.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Not much turn for Giles, er, Swann at the moment. Good sign for us.

Mate I don't want us to get to 4 down this innings we need some type of momentum. Best way to do it is to bat and bat and bat and keep the poms bowling.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Absolutely.

So far so good though, it's been a gutsy effort. Katich is a machine, that achilles is giving him a shitload of grief. They're nasty bastards to run on.

He probably knows it's going to be his last test for a while so he's making the most of it

 

[ningnangnong]

Aye, Katich is really battling out there. Full credit to him.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Well the question probably has to be asked - Hughes, Khawaja or someone else for Perth?
