Should be a good week weather wise here in Adelaide so there s the chance of a result. Whoever wins the toss will bat first and aim for around 400.Hopefully England win the toss and are still batting on Saturday The weathers going to be mid 30s saturday so it looks like a few cold ones will be part of the day. Still got a spare ticket if anyone can make it.

Battle resumes at midnight - wicket expected to be a batsman's paradise.
Personally feel England need a fifth bowler

From Aggers;
Heard one or two 'Shahzad to play' rumours while pounding rhe riverbank...would be a brave call.
I like Shahzad but who would be dropped?

Prior...Shazzer to keep wicket
Most likely Finn to have rest and let Shahzad have a blast on a batting wicket.

Quite a call from our hierachy if that's true, mind you I guess it adds a bit more depth to the batting (presuming it’s Finn he comes in for if he does come in) plus Shahzad reverse swings it at pace which is extremely handy in any conditions but at Adelaide where it's conducive for reverse swing, could very well be a potent weapon From Aggers; Heard one or two 'Shahzad to play' rumours while pounding rhe riverbank...would be a brave call. I like Shahzad but who would be dropped? I wouldnt be surprised if Collingwood was dropped for Shahzad After our poor performance with 5 bowlers experiment in 09 against the Aussies at Headingley, I can't see Flower and Strauss doing the same again. Ironic actually as Headingley was probably the one ground in that series where you wouldn't pick 5 bowlers and in Australia it might not be a bad idea. However if we did pick 5 bowlers, I'm pretty sure Flower and Strauss would pick Bresnan over Shahzad as the former is a better batsman than the latter.

Dropping Finn after his 6for would be pretty harsh wouldn't it?

Dropping Finn after his 6for would be pretty harsh wouldn't it? On the face of it, yes it would. But then again Shahzad bowled well in the warm ups and as Sgt says he can probably do a bit more with the ball in Adelaide. Plus its syas to the Aussies who have dropped there so called strike bowler than we can chop and change our attack without concern and bring up another bowler that their batsmen will not have faced before. If Shahzad bowls well then thats another blow to the Aussies. Bit of a gamble ..maybe....but then no more of a gamble than playing Finn who struggeld a little at first. Finn probably benefitted from the Aussies relaxing when facing him rather than Broad or Anderson, hope the same is true for Shazzer if picked

Cricinfo pretty much confirmed what was highly expected, Harris in for Hilfenhaus but Sky seem to think England are sure to be unchanged despite rumours to the contrary

We're unchanged though according to Vaughany, Harris and Bollinger in for the Aussies.

Long tail for the Aussies. If we can make this new ball talk and get 2 or 3 Aussie wickets in the first session, it'll put pressure on them with that tail.
CMON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
