They should have picked Stuart Clark, he is accurate and swings the ball. Their bowlers are more hit the deck style, so hopefully we can get a reasonable lead0
-
Mitchell Johnson can swing the ball into the batsman, but his action is so wayward at the moment that he's more likely to bowl a bad delivery as a good one. Watson can swing the ball, so can Hilfenhaus but Siddle is more of a back of a length bowler. If we can bat until well into tomorrow then we could do what we did at Lord's - put the game way beyond them.0

Broad is simply not good enough.0
-
5 wickets for Anderson0
-
Five good wickets too - all down to good bowling.0
-
Why do England seem incapable of making anything easy for themselves. Bowling wide of the stumps to tail enders, this last wicked partnership could be crucial for the convicts0

It will be interesting to see how we bat on this wicket.0

Anyway cricket on now, how good is Onions so far!! He could have 5 already!! And the best name also!! Cant wait to see Jimmy's efforts now, they said on TMS it was a real pukka passage of swing/fast bowling, just how i like it.0 -
Tell ya what, that lil spell from Anderson was absolute top class. He is without a doubt one of the best exponents of that swinging ball in world cricket, when the ball swings for what ever reason, he is unplayable, unbelievable cricket that, i am purring here. Such a shame we couldn't of knocked off the tail a bit quicker, would of been in a great position. The pressure we can produce sometimes, is awesome, and has the Ozzies rattled, properly rattled!
People who say Test Cricket is boring need look no further than a bit of Ashes cricket. Some of the cricket in this series has been absolute top draw, some wonderful passages of play, aggressive bowling (specially by us namely freddie) great batting too, by both sides. This is surely going to be a really close series, and i still can't call it. All i do know is that with the way we have started we defo have them rattled, which is how in the past the convicts have made such a success of World cricket.
The end.0 -

Great innings by Freddie, WORLD CLASS player (FAO Ketman) awesome shots awesome dude he is. Great innings by Prior and Broader too, loved the confrontaion between Broad and Mitchell Johnson, quality stuff.
Set fair this, if we can nab a couple of their boys tonight it could be close, only thing will beat us is stupid rain!0
