Ashes 2nd Test, the first two days.

What a great two days it has been in the 2nd Test in Adelaide, a glorious double century by Paul Collingwood and the huge 4th wicket stand with Kevin Pietersen. The bowling figures of Glen McGrath and Shane Warne were truly awful, maybe it is the age catching up with them?

We have to press home out advantage. though it will be tough as the wicket is pretty benign and made for big score. Still it is a stark contrast to the performance in Brisbane last week, how fortunes can change so quickly and I'm already feeling a great deal more opitmisitc then when I did my first post on the Ashes after the dismal start in Brisbane.

Keep it up and lets hope the bowlers perform tonight!
