    Going to listen on the radio and stay awake as long as possible but will no doubt need to catch up on Pick TV tomorrow night. I've a feeling we'll get a draw in this test.

    Its not quite like the Windies in years gone by but a good bowling attack makes a difference and Johnson seems to be on fire. The power is in the tache!!

    Just hope England win the toss and bat.

    Need to win this one though Mario. Perth next and I don't think England have ever done well there.

    I agree, I think this second test is crucial. If we don't win it we're going to struggle to retain the Ashes IMO. Like I said I think Johnson is key and more specifically how we bat against him. The wicket at Adelaide will spin so we've got half a chance.
