Re: 2nd Test Australia v England - Adelaide Oval

Such a massive performance, Brisbane was one thing but this is far more impressive for me. On paper it should be Englands test, a slow, low turner but we are doing some serious psychological damage. At the moment our three quicks are the best attack in the world

Is there a bigger confidence performer than Mitchell Johnson.
He bowls left he bowls right he bowls s****. Gone quiet
England have developed a siege mentality ( wanting to boycott The gabba) the menu nonsense

Kind of smells of hubris, their attitude.

I've been a huge critic of Johnson and despite him getting a couple of rewards for some average bowling in the first test he has been sensational in this innings.

He's playing like the player we've always wanted him to be ATM.


I imagine this is a bit what watching Keith Miller was like. Devastating spells on flat pitches that that bring the batting side to it's knees and a big score with the bat when it is most needed.

What we are seeing now with Mitch is what I'd imagine Fot was seeing with him in his early days labeling Johnson as a once in a generation bowler, or words to that affect.

That's high praise from DK. He understands the technical side and mechanics of fast bowling tester than anyone.

Make that, Johnson has 17 of 31 wickets this series.

A well deserved wicket to Siddle with both openers now gone.

I'd forgotten how enjoyable cricket is when you're all over the opposition like a cheap suit.

If England manages a draw I will be filthy.

Me too but its part of test match cricket so great. If they earn it by putting a premium on their wicket and batting for two days I won't mind so much but if it rains most of the next two days it'll be a bit hard to take. Especially when the weather saved them twice over there.

Great to get Bell out just before tea. While we were in a great position anyway, it just flattens their spirits that much more. This English side just doesn't look like they are prepared to do the hard yards.

Tea headline for the Poms?

Sounds like something Kerrie would say.

On another note Root doing very well, we need to get him out
