England going down in Adelaide

England is tottering and going down fast in Adelaide in the second Ashes test. Everyone expected this to be a draw but old wizard Shane Warne has pulled a rabbit and he has once again been the main player in this drama.

The best commentary on web is certainly from Guardian online.
Link below.

"WICKET! England 119-9 (Harmison LBW b McGrath 9) McGrath comes out of cold storage for his first ball of the day, after a mammoth spell from Lee. As Slater and Hussain observe, it really should be Clark - partly because he reverses it, partly because he's the better bowler, and partly because McGrath does not ball at the stumps, so Harmison can ignore most of the deliveries. Oh my goodness, the moment I wrote that Harmison padded up to an inducker and Rudi Koertzen raised the finger. It was an awful decision - it was going a long way over the top, and is yet ANOTHER LBW in an Ashes Test for McGrath that wasn't hitting - but it was an ill-judged shot and England are right back in trouble."
