The Ashes 2006/07: The Adelaide Test Thread - Day Two

It was a brute, and if some of the work Harmison has been putting in, he can create similar deliveries..

If England bowl well, we can create a huge amount of problems, if that delivery was anything to go by

Also, did you see Langer's argument as he walked off, according to Nasser Hussain Jones was really winding up the Aussies behind the stumps. If we play aggressively it could see a big turn around in our fortunes.

I understand also the this pitch is good on days one and two, but tends to start breaking up on the third day, so all good for England.

Zaniub,

I could be completely wrong, but as an England fan I have to look at the positives..

But if you really want to hear fanciful talk have a listen to John Buchanan

"Make 700 and bowl them out for under 150 on the last day," he (Buchanan) said when asked what his team's strategy was.

Surely the Aussies would be mad to have any other plan? They might not succeed... but it's surely their best chance of getting the result they ideally want!
