    You goin? I am jealous. Little concerned it will all be about the batsman again at Adelaide. Can't bowl short there with such small boundaries. As good a ground as any to pitch it up and encourage the drives with the long boundaries straight.

    Enjoy it.

    yeh thanks mate. 5 days in the new members stand. it's pretty much in my work contract. i dont work during the adelaide test! on the members side i think the boundary is a couple of metres wider now (whoopee!) with the redevlopment.

    Brilliant.
    That 300th wicket (Jaques Kallis) was in 1998 at Sydney.
    I remember watching that spell of his, he took 5 wickets in quick succession, completely tore the South African attack to shreds.
    The best spell of bowling I've ever seen.
    Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89PuvXBHDuo


    Super spell.

    I loved hearing in the video I posted his logic behind it. With Kallis expecting to turn heaps, and he bowled the toppie. Ball went between bat and pad. He is a very good thinker when he comes to cricket.

    He has an awesome cricket brain, if it wasn't for his off field stuff ups he'd have been captain, and a better one than Ponting.

    Sad to see they are redeveloping it, it's gonna lose that good look.

    Comedian.... :D

    Would be harsh dropping siddle. but I could see it happening.
    Bollinger has to be in, and Harris is a local, so he would know the conditions well. He has a bad knee though.

    Also I am concerned about our tail. I know they're there to bowl, but from haddin down there is not much. You look at Englands Broad, Swann, Anderson (I think yeah?), can all hold the bat. How many times do we see the tail crucial to a test...

    only the western stand at the moment which is amazing.. all that other shit wont happen for a while longer yet.. if ever. (i fucking hope not). look what development has done to the gabba and the scg. the gabba is just a poor man's G with no atmosphere and no soul. the scg is a hotch potch stadium with one little bit of history left, a shitload of retina burning aqua seats and no grass. its too late at night to start me on the proposed labor government half arsed adelaide oval redevelopment... fire me up tomoro during the arvo session after a few beers and i'll tell you what i think!
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    Last year at the Adelaide concert was amazing, loved the beautiful surroundings whilst enjoying PJ playing.
    A tad pissed off about the redevelopment.
