2nd Test v Australia 2004 - Adelaide 

Stumps on day one and it was a lame start.

Langer notches his 20th test century and 4th v New Zealand. He, Ponting and Hayden all have 20 test centuries now.

Our pacemen have combined for figures of 48 overs, 11 maidens, 0 for 191.
While the spin duo have sent down 42 overs, 9 maidens and have 3 for 130.

Prediction time: Assuming Australia cruise along at about 3.8 tomorrow and bat for roughly 75 overs they will get 285 runs and that would put them at 612. They then declare and have NZ at 31/1 at stumps with Sinclair being the man out for 6.

Comments:
Fleming seems to be hitting the ball quite nicely. At least his boundarys were all well struck.

He owes this team a hundred against the aussies that's for sure.

And somebody else will have to get one as well if we are to even be a 50/50 chance of saving this test.
