Batting on

i wonder if in some kind of way it might be better if the aussies rip through us this morning. it would get rid of all doubt regarding a declaration and the english bowlers would get some confidence if the pitch misbehaves a bit, especially swann.

Sure I've read that there is meant to be a 90% chance of rain over the next couple of days. Worth lumping on the draw. Why we aren't declaring I don't know.

North was getting turn, swann will do fine

Think we'll be waiting until Bell gets 100.

I can see the game getting rained off tomorrow with the Aussies 8 or 9 down, I think this will prove to be an error.

We dont deserve to win with decisions like this , we have to bowl them out simple as , put them in , NOW

Finally declared on 620.

we had the full monthly average rainfall on sun afternoon..we dont get much rain in adelaide this time of year, and todays game has been stopped at the moment due to more rain...for england to fail to get a victory at the oval due to the rain would be a miracle for the aussies.. 3 days of rain in december is unheard of

Clarke given out but survives after review. 204/3
