Indeed, this won't be the same bowling attack as Brisbane so I'm not sure why Skulls is so pessimistic. From what I've seen Bollinger is as good as any of our pacemen on his day and Harris is a bit of an unknown. This test is far from over.

The word is that Harris's knee isn't 100% but "good enough." It's going to be 36 degrees today in Adelaide. Should be interesting to see how their bowlers stand up in the heat.

He can't come out of retirement now.

Team's been announced, and taken the field.

Prick. Two Tests in, and Strauss has let the side down twice.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 04 Dec 2010, 00:04

That was a shocker from, Strauss.

Game over, really.

by Guest Sat 04 Dec 2010, 00:06

Can the pessimism please stop now from Aussie whinge merchants? You don't lose a test after one bad day.

by LeFromage Sat 04 Dec 2010, 00:15

Bit nervy this.

Pathetic crowd again... fair weather fans I guess. Cricket is dying Sad

England seem determined to have one of their 140 all out days.

Oh yes, I momentarily forgot what to expect. More hype than when New Labour gained power eh?

Never thought I'd say thisabout a Saffer, but I like Trott!

by Guest Sat 04 Dec 2010, 00:25

Bollinger and Harris have made this Australian attack look more than capable of taking 20 wickets.

by Jontyh Sat 04 Dec 2010, 00:31

Harris looks good - sharp and aggressive. Makes you wonder why he wasn't in the first test. He and the rug look more penetrative already..

And I notice Vilks has just beaten me to pretty much the same observation!

by Jontyh Sat 04 Dec 2010, 00:32

That was a huge let off, though. Hussey's luck didn't apply there..

When he's focussed - looks loose today.

And... dropped!
