600 on the board would deflate the Ozzies. Better still a lead of 400.

Not sure we'll have the time to bowl them out then, though.

And i'd imagine they're pretty much deflated right now anyways given their last two bowling performances.

Only the weather can save Aus now, surely. What the hell has happened to the drought?

No worries, aussies will still be under pressure to win tests(if they want the ashes) where as we are not under the same type of pressure. If the rain fucks us over there's nothing we can do about that.

It looks a little like Lords, but does Adelaide have the same miraculous draining properties? Looks like England might need to try to win it tonight judging by the forecast. Definitely ought to declare now.

There is no love between us anymore.
Pietersons double ton has not been mentioned so far and I really think that that deserves a mention. He is that rarest of player, like Shane Warne and a few others, someone who makes non cricket fans enjoy test cricket. KP and Cook have marmalized the Aussies.
Test cricket is a game played largely in the heads of the opposition and England fans know all about what its like for the other side to have the psychological edge. But this England team are inflicting "mental scars" on the Australians. And of course Adelaide has always been the perfect pitch to mentally murder a bowling attack. As soon as I seen punters reaction to Jimmys sledging I thought that the Aussies were in no fit state to play an Adelaide test match and Cook, KP and co have proven this right.
My gut instinct is that this wil be a draw, too much rain on the way. But then again really heavy over head conditions and Englands swingers could yet skittle an Australian rear guard in 4 or 5 session, about all this match seems to have left.
Perth is not the cathederal of pace it once was but I believe it still is quick enough. Normally bowlers love a fast pacey wicket, but for a really inform batsman ala Cook right now, that can also translate into really rapid run scoring and a the bat comes of the bat so quickely a well exectued defensive push can go to the boundry.
When was the last time the English were actually enjoying an overseas ashes?

Shame Perth isn't as pacy as it was. It used to produce very exciting cricket.

My Saffie mates tell me the Aussies used to refuse to schedule a test with them at the WACA until Donald was past it....
Does the day's play start any earlier because of the time lost?
