Will the rain become the Aussies saviour?

The forecast is for more :stare:

I can't believe it! I'm turning into a Pommie cricket fan and praying for rain.:o:O:

LOL....if you lose this one (which is highly likely, weather permitting) I honestly can't see you winning two of the remaining three to gain the Ashes.

Here they come...Australian lambs to the slaughter :DL

Not without a bowling attack. Apart from Punter and North, the batsmen can put up a bit of fight as shown in the first test. Our problem is the bowling and fielding, which up until last year where the foundation of the team.:nope:

I might put my hand up to roll me arm over. I doubt we could do much worse.:88)

The match seems to be poised on a knife edge going into the fifth day with the weather looming large. I can the Aussies holding out for a another session and a half although that very much depends on Hussey and Haddin, If England can get past those pair then they should be able to knock over the remainder in pretty quick order.

Is this the first ever case of an Aussie fan praying for rain:hmmm::har:

Well if the weather continues we might see Duckworth Leiws making an appearance.

Where's Jaesen?

Fervently hoping for some success before he posts here again no doubt :O:

Looks like the rain dance didn't work then, it's lovely bright sunshine down in Adelaide this morning. :D

badhat17 12-06-10 07:27 PM

the boc wickets are tumbling !!

badhat17 12-06-10 08:07 PM

Swann..... Swann will tear you apart.....
Again......

badhat17 12-06-10 08:08 PM

It's all over !!!

England go 1-0 up in the series !!!

Jimbuna 12-06-10 08:08 PM

They think it's all over...it is now!!

I seem to recall in an earlier post making reference to our secret weapon 'Swann' and stating that he would be utilised at some time in the future....I guess it was the time today.

Where were the the Aussies on day five AGAIN???????

Good job the Barmy Army turned out or the game might as well have been played behind closed doors.

Come on Jaesen, your generally good for a quality response.

Not decided to go back to the fallback position of being a Welshman again I hope :DL

I trust my good friend Grant will respond.

Still a lot of cricket to be played this series...may yet finish 3-0 :yeah:

Shame I didn't get another one in I guess, then I would have had something in common with Graeme "can't bowl with the kookaburra" Swann ! :haha:
