Most of his predictions were laughed out of town at the time, but have proven accurate in hindsight.

He predicted the Overtons, Woakes, Vince and Crane would step up to the test squad, Ballance would be recalled against Pakistan and Topley would play for the ODI side.

Still waiting for Drummond Bell [sic] to play for England mind.

He hasn't posted on RTG since July. I think he was an old boy, so hope he's still alive and that.

Cheers for this.
 
I keep hearing this stuff about it being our best chance of winning a Test on this tour. It probably is but the convicts have played three of these games and won them all, against SA, NZ and Pakistan who all have excellent seam attacks.

Starc and Cummins are both excellent under lights.

Yeah, getting bored of all this chat. Just like last week in Brisbane. "THE GABBATOIR" "AUSTRALIA NEVER LOSE IN BRISBANE". f***ing talked us out of the fucker before it started. Records are there to be broken and the best sides rip up the formbook.

So with that in mind, Aussies will tear us a new one in Adelaide too :rolleyes:.

Plus, what could help us so much that doesn't help them? If it swings and seams, I'd much rather be facing our 85mph bowlers than their 90+mph ones :eek:, so I fail to see what advantage we could have over them?!

England become the first team since India in 1992 to win the toss in a Test @ The Adelaide Oval & bowl first; Previous 25 had elected to bat first.
 
bowling too short. teams that bowl too short in Oz, always get beat, even the good ones and to be fair this england team isn't one of the good ones
 
Hopefully it gives the lads an opportunity to get together and acknowledge they’re bowling shit and need to bowl a foot fuller.
