Watching Patiently

The Second Test has produced some classic strategic plays on the table for the whole remainder of the Ashes Series.

With three days down, and a slightly slower run rate, it appears quite unlikely that either team will be bowled out a second time in time for the game to get a result, unless the Adelaide pitch wears sufficiently over the next few days.

This is a great opportunity for enterprising captaincy, but at the same time, enterprising decisions are a real risk for Australia.

Anyway, It is nice to see that my beware the last series warnings have been appropriately heeded, because England have come back as expected (just like Queensland).
