As second test is starting from Friday (December 3, 2010), preparations and trainings are being finalized by both England and Australia. Australian final eleven will be announced by Ricky Ponting tomorrow after the final training session at Adelaide Oval.
The huge run pile up of 517/1 by English batsmen in the second innings of the 1st test made Australians to feel something wrong with their bowling attack. Keeping in view the poor performance with the ball; Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus are expected to be replaced with Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris.
Meanwhile, England are expecting more from their off-spinner Graeme Swann after he had not a very good 1st test at Gabba, Brisbane; claiming only two expensive first innings wickets.
