Poor old Katich. Struggling big time.

As Ian Chappel said in the commentary, if he was a horse they would have shot him

Here's hoping....

I didn't get to see too much of the afternoon, but Clarke and Hus seemed pretty solid. So did most of the Aussies excluding ponting.

Obviously Swann is the danger man tomorrow... Just hope they can knock off the 170 odd.... Clarke needs a big innings. I think his highest test score is 151. He needs 200. Lets do it Aussies....

Couldn't believe that....

I remember in Adelaide, 2002 I think, Damien Martyn bowling the last over of the day and he knocked over Vaughn I think with the very last ball.


Same situation...

If Marcus North fails he will be dropped... No and if's or buts.

THe Aussies had twenty good years, nothing last forever

everything rises, everything falls

theserialthrilla

please fail..lol


i really believe that wicket at the end has won us this test(unless god hates ,us sod off rain )...we need to get 2 more out and then that tail just does not wag..

clarke wtf full face of the bat...was not even looking to place it VVVVVdown VVVVVV ...lazy shot..

hussey has to bat the day out really
North needs a ton..
Haddin same again from him 50 plus
Harris hummmmmm well need to face more then 1 ball..
Doherty not fair on this tail..whats dohertys highest score in 1st cricket.
Siddle yeah yeah and
Bollinger yeah

so what even if you bat well we might need to go score 80-100

just no no no rain.
:P

pjfan31

Well if we knock off the total, then that will take us to around about tea. Then if we get that extra 80-100 then it will go deep in last session.

Australia will struggle unless the rain comes. THe only thing going for North is he is batting with his good mate Hussey. And Hussey has a history of getting through a tough innings.

harris can hit the ball, but he is not great...

He was unlucky in the first innings, he smashed that into his pad...

i can't believe clarke fell to pieterson, only 4 balls left

Did anyone see the Gilly segment during the rain delay about his 57 or 58 ball century. That was fantastic. I remember watching it live..

I was falling asleep during that innings. I was so tired, I was kicking myself after.

looks perfect for a bit of swing

chime

Broad out for the rest of the series :(

Austicman

DANG!! :?

pjfan31

Katich out too....

Hughes probably in for him

North out, in Smith, Kawaja, Ferguson?

Doherty out IN Haurtiz (and he just picked up a fivefor at the WACA)

and possibly Johnson or Hilf to come in for either doug or Siddle.


And I am thinking of changing the name of the thread for a while, make it hard for theserialthrilla to find it and bag us out.
