[Kiwi Eagle]

All going to plan throw

shame the bloody rain spoiled a triple ton !

 

[The Eagle]

Ponting is pushing for a draw,the only thing that will save us is more rain here

 

[The Gronk]

bowlers have taken 5/1000 this week

its funny, it use to be the poms praying for rain..    ;D

The Poms should have decalred by now if they want a result.

 

[Fro]

they have just done so.

375 to make them bat again.

 

[Fluffy]

Poms have given themselves a good chance, so far this is a repeat of brisbane, hopefully we can continue to bat well in our second dig

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

If they can get through Clarke, i can see Swann terrorising some of the other batsmen with the turn he is getting

 

[Fro]

that wont take long.

If Clarkes back is so bad his footwork will be jeopardised and Swann will have him for Brekkie

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Clarke is already looking a cut above the others against the turn though

Said to a guy at work Aussie would be 240/1 at the close with Watson and Ponting getting tons, was wrong there

 

[Fro]

Hope you are only half wrong.

Yep Clarke is better when he uses his feet, if his back is ok he will be able to do well

 

[Fluffy]

Clarke is our best player of spin so hoping he can hang with watson for a while. Big storm heading towards adelaide looking at the 512km radar, prob hit about 5pm at current rate.

 

[The Eagle]

Thank **** for the forementioned rain,abysmal team might not lose afterall

 

[The Gronk]

Rain didn't last long but Clarke looks good.  Showers in the morning, storms in the afternoon predicted for tomorrow. 

 

[Fluffy]

wasnt much in the pitch for anyone but the spinner. First innings batting looks even worse than the bowling right now. 9/850 in the last 3 days

If they can play swan alright tomorrow we can survive.

North to save his spot?

 

[Chip and Chase]

North doesn't have a good 2nd innings record, only getting past 50 twice in the second dig. Losing Clarke in the last over was a big blow. I hope North does bat for his life tomorrow, otherwise we'll have to rely on another Hussey / Haddin Gabba like partnership. What's the forecast ? is there more rain about.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

WTF was Clarke doing walking off then coming back ? Strange

 

[Chip and Chase]

I think he "walked" and then realised that the umpy hadn't actually given him so he came back and forced the review by the Poms.
