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

I remember him always being over, trying to use the conventional swing into the lefty's pads

[south beds mikey]

Pitch just starting to show signs of mis behaving. Harmy could be the man to exploit this.

[Ernest]

England are bowling well SB, Harmisons first over was good, he just needs a bit of luck, and he will be a handfull.

[south beds mikey]

Perilously close LBW shout on Gilchrist, Rudi unmoved. Things just starting to happen

[Irish Left Armer]

The wind has blown my satellite dish around and it's not working.

Words cannot describe my devastation.

[south beds mikey]

Andersen just gone off after struggling to chase a ball down in the last over. If its serious this will obviously affect England's thinking when setting the Aussies a target tomorrow.

[Rachael]

Two moral victories to Giles in his first over Gilchrist saved by a thin edge to a ball he completely misjudged... and then a swish and miss that could have gone anywhere had contact been made.

Edit: from TMS... "Wily bowling from an old pro here"... referred to the following...

110.3 Giles to Gilchrist, no run, Gilchrist takes two steps down and almost yorks himself

110.4 Giles to Gilchrist, no run, one step and blocked, he looked for a second as if he was going to really hammer that but thought better of it

Giles clearly creating doubts for Gilchrist who is evidently concerned about being defeated in the flight.

[Ernest]

Hmm an edge of Flintoff landed inches from Bell - all the bowlers have done well.

Cook hit fielding close.

[south beds mikey]

It look likes Cook owes Giles money!! He bowls a half tracker which Gilchrist smashes straight into Cook at short leg.

Fine Cook for the dropped catch I say

[south beds mikey]

Oh dear. Harmy leaking runs again. They've just got to keep nim bowiling through this. There is a bit of variable bounce; lets hope he can exploit it.
