    Worried not taking a wicket tonite this has been the issue for Aussies last couple of years having trouble knocking over sides in the second innings.
    First session obviously crucial if Poms can get through draw will be looking a huge chance.

    8 wickets at stumps would be nice

    1/370 and the wicket was taken by the part timer.

    Absolutely disgraceful.

    Can't bowl out teams twice and therefore can't win games.

    Johnson needs to be dropped for Bollinger.

    North needs to be dropped for some youth.

    Johnson needs a good 5 Shield games to let him find some rhythm and get his confidence back.

    As one of the commentators said, everyone has worked out Johnson, he can only bowl across you and until he learns to swing it back into them, they will just let them go thru to the keeper.

    He then gets frustrated and tries to bowl at the wickets and gets hit through the on side.

    He doesn't get the new ball and I think that says everything, he can't make the ball do anything...

    Not writing him off, but given his last ashes and his recent form needs to make way for Bollinger.

    Johnson - only there to bowl quick, but bowling no quicker than the other two, so why have him ???
    Got absolutely nothing to offer.

    Can't drop North, he's our only wicket taker !
    Clarke has to go out for Adelaide. Not 100%, don't play !

    Can't make more than 2 changes, so North is safe (for the mo)

    He's too talented to write off. He just needs a chance to get his groove back. Its very hard to do that against world class batsmen.

    Yep, F off and do get it somewhere else (like playing for WA ! :))

    Hold up..................Harris is fit, again.
    Needs to come in

    Hopefully WA piles on 500 without loss (The Rug doesn't get a wicket), Harris in for Qld's Mitch Johnson.

    ALL THE PLAYERS MUST HAVE BACKED THE DRAW AT $10+

    No other reason why they would all put down simple catches???

    Haha, on the ESPN cricket site:


    Australia announce their side for the next Test either later tonight or tomorrow morning. Mitchell Johnson and Marcus North must be looking over their shoulder. Johnson in particular had a horrible match, taking 0 for 170, making a 19-ball duck and dropping a catch. Stay with us to see who is named man of the match, but I expect it won't be him.
