Australia v England, 2nd Test, Adelaide, Dec 3-7, 2010

Can't imagine England will make any changes. For Aus, smith for North, and Bollinger for Johnson.

England must be concerned with Swann's form. Adelaide should suit him more, however.

Likely to be another draw.

Captaincy to Hussey.
Harris for Johnson.
North is due.

Corny .......................... but I like it.

only time I have laughed in days

I think it'll definitely be Bolly for Midge but the cupboard is a bit bare at no. 6. Maybe Bog or Nikki?

Has been due for about last 12months, I guess has to come good sooner or later

He'll get a century. Then scores of 2, 8, 7, 0, 14, and 6 in the rest of the series.

1st innings North c Collingwood b Swann 7
2nd innings North c Prior b Swann 3

Hilditch to GSC: "I still think Ollie will come good and we can't drop him for his home Test"
GSC: "Cop this!!" [Liverpool Kiss and Hildick is down like a bag of poo]

Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris have been named in 13-man squad for 2nd Vodafone Ashes Test, which starts in Adelaide on Friday. SQUAD: Ponting, Clarke, Bollinger, Doherty, Haddin, Harris, M.Hussey, Hilfenhaus, Johnson, Katich, North, Siddle, Watson.

I don't care if Peter English was being a bit tongue in cheek, he still comes across as a bit of a prat.

Gerard Whately said a couple of weeks ago that Nought would need to rob a bank to be dropped from the team. Is starting to look like a statement with merit.

Nothing about that squad will scare England on a flat Adelaide track.

FFS. So Smith out for Harris from the current 13. All's going well then according to the NSP.

You sound surprised.

Not surprised, disappointed.

I'd prolly go all pace on the Hwy. If North is gonna play, may as well use his spin.

Well let's face it skulls ... Doherty was pants !
And anyway, it looks like Norf will continue to get the selectors nod, despite ...

This series will finish 2-0 England.

Harris could be a handful on the evidence of the ODIs he played over here last Summer.

You think either team can get 20 wickets? Looking seriously unlikely. With the onus on Aus to make the running to regain the ashes, there will sooner or later be a green top a pitch produced. Probably at Sydney.

Yes, England is already safe in this series. They can't lose.

And much as he was a shower of shoite during his time at Worcester, Doug Bollinger has been the Strino's best bowler for the last 12 months and also had a decent ODI series over here,

Bolly, Harris for Johnson/Hilfenhaus and i'd also bring in O'Keefe who looked a cut above Doherty in the A game. Granted it was a horrible pitch to make a debut on.

You can't see them dropping Johnson because Punter has always said that he was his man for a crisis - the go to man.

Unfortunately he's now the man to create the crisis.

Would have liked Smith to replace Nought so that Doherty can go and at least one of Harris or Bollinger can come in.

Hilfenhaus is rumoured to still be suffering from some knee soreness so perhaps ditch him.

If Smith is in, Haddin may even go up to #6, with the all-rounder coming in at 7. Given Nought's paltry offerings, the batting hardly looks lighter.
