2013 Adelaide Test

[Ford Fairlane]

Mitchell Johnson on fire, on a hat trick.

England has collapsed to 7/117 chasing 570.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I wonder if the barmy army are still singing the Mitchell Johnson is shite song?

5 for now.....

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Missed the hat trick but just picked up his 5th wicket.

8/135

 

[Ford Fairlane]

James "broken ****en arm" Anderson comes to the crease. And gone, bowled middle stump out of the ground. 6 for Johnson, on a hat trick again.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Holy hell Johnson ist gut.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The 'no-ball' replay is great theatre too. Especially when Ben Stokes is bowling.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Monty has Hawthorn undies...

 

[Eddie Dingle]

If Bell doesn't get a single this over Monty's bum will be doing 5 cents 50 cents quicker than his heart will be thumping.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Damn.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Harris is using him for target practice.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Boooo Ian Bell boooo. No sense of occasion. Nearly but not quite and nearly only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Harris is using him for target practice.

You have to love an angry fast bowler.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

You have to love an angry fast bowler.

It's been a while. Imagine if we get Cummins and Pattinson fit!

 

[Macca19]

Damn the Oval looks great

 

[Eddie Dingle]

7/40

Well done lad.

Hang on, we've been Shiite for years, and now with the same players, pretty much, we're kicking the Poms all over the place. What gives?

Hang on, we've been Shiite for years ...

Not really poo, and not 'for years'. More second tier for 5-6 years, after 20 years or so of a reasonable expectation of being able to beat anyone.

... now with the same players, pretty much, we're kicking the Poms all over the place. What gives?

IMO one word, 'Boof'. Lehmann seems visible and sympatico as a coach, he clearly has an authority with the team and seems to work well with Clarke. Discuss in 500 words or less.

I thought Smith was gone then, plumb LBW to me (and the umpire). Lucky.
