Going to be a draw . Should've put Watson on Attacking and Katich on Normal

 

Anyone else noticed how lopsided the results are at the moment?

Doesn't seem too fair on us Aussies :sad:

 

Looking forward to playing my next Ashes match against Mousey....murdered the Aussies in the firtst match, but should be a contest at least against a managed team.

 

As the Adelaide pitch is flat, I am going with this line up-

1.Katich
2.Watson(4)
3.Clarke
4.Hussey
5.Hughes
6.Ponting(*)
7.Haddin(+)
8.North(5)
9.Johnson(1)
10.Harris(3)
11.Bollinger(2)

Demoted Ponting down the order as he failed with the bat in the 1st Test. Dropped Hilfenhaus as he had a poor game. Replaced Hauritz with North to have an extra bat. He will be my 5th bowler and will bowl few overs for me. Main bowling will be done by Bollinger(who took a 5fer in the last Test) and Johnson(had a pretty good game, taking a total of 5 wkts in the 1st Test).

 

Sticking with the same line up. Will play five bowlers due to another flat pitch and have Collingwood in as my keeper again.

 

Won by an innings despite leaving out Katich and them playing Broad. Suck on that, England.

1-all now.
