Rising From The Ashes!

Whilst the likes of Ponting and Pietersen are expected to deliver match winning displays everytime they reach the crease, it's remarkable that some of the more maligned players of both Ashes' squads have been so pivotal in the 2nd Test. Paul Collingwood, Michael Clarke and Matthew Hoggard have all had their positions within the teams questioned but scores of 206, 124 and a haul of 7 wickets for 109 runs respectively have brightened up what has been a patience-testing match in Adelaide. The only hope of a decisive result is if England crumble on the final day but much like the pitch, they're unlikely to be cracking!
