The highest successful run chase at the Adelaide Oval is 315 and that was 123 years ago. The next highest is 239, back in 1982.
5-0 is very much on; and it's a glorious, beautiful thing.
Archer was bowling at Glenn McGrath pace in the second innings in Perth. For all their bluster about planning this pace battery for two years.. please. I called 5-0 and it still looks on.
I would imagine yesterday would be devastating for the English side. I heard Dizzy say this morning that there's a difference between being fearless and being reckless, and that the English batsmen were reckless.
I would have thought that, with all their data, someone would have said that touring sides driving on the up on bouncing pitches doesn't generally end well, but that's just me.
