Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[Ringo]

Concensus seems to be that this a third day pitch equivalent,

Was not commented on and do not know whether it was just me but there appeared to be a number of balls that kept low compared to a normal first day pitch.

Think if Australia push past 400 match can only have 2 results draw or Australia win.

Late drop of Haddin may prove costly as Haddin averages 110 on this ground so if he and Clarke go on game may be out of Englands reach.

Grey clouds over Adelaide with a few showers forecasted for this morning but should be clearing this afternoon. Meant to be a beautiful day tomorrow, so hopefully play isn't too interrupted today!

If Australia gets 400, which is looking a given, this test match will be a draw.

Monty is a bit of an unco in the field :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

drinks. Clarkey into the 90s. cmon skip

[Nige]

The Poms need a wicket soon or they'll be chasing 450-500ish.

Pup to get his 100, Hadds to get a 50, potentially a 100 at this rate.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Sneaky Mitchell Johnson century in there maybe.

[specky92]

Aussies have been super lucky not to lose a wicket this morning, could be a game changing session.

Hadds loves a chirp!

Hahahaha sucked in Stokesy

You would be crying a river if that was Nathan Lyon bowling that.  ::)

But yeah, very unlucky for Ben Stokes. Almost got his first wicket. He'll be right though, it's coming.

Nathan Lyon is good enough not to bowl no-balls. Stokes only has himself to blame, hence the "sucked in". Bloody rangas these days ::)
