How did this guy ever average 50 with the ball in first class cricket? Can bowl. Guess it just proves how good a lot of the Aussie domestic batsmen are.

Unbeleiveable isn't it? I could see some skippers not wanting to bowl him given how attacking he is.

I can't recall as attacking a finger spinner play for Australia, at least since Tim May. In fact, Crazy probably even more attacking than May - really tosses 'em up and gets serious turn

AB is so easy on the eye, could watch him bat all day. There's just a general classiness with the way he goes about his batting, and even his gear looks good on him.

All Test matches should start at 1pm . Get home and still get to watch for a few hours - nothing better.

Very impressed with the tail, they've been so-so for some time so for them to stand up like that is very heartening. Haven't seen tthe wickets yet, but wrapped for Mitch.

Thought yesterday was arguably Symonds' best test knock, given the situation, the attack and his mud form of late. Despite the way it ended with the terrible shot, he looks like he's got his mojo back to me.

Symonds best knock was against the WI in May. Best Australian knock since Ponting's in England, IMO.

My guess, he has very little control. It's odd to have an off-spinner with so much threat but so little control, but Krezja gives an unusual amount of four-balls. This pitch is turning a little, more than expected, but on flat pitches he could be taken apart.

Was disappointed with Amla's dismissal. He could have used his feet to stop Krezja from pitching the ball so full, but if he's not comfortable with doing so he still shouldn't be getting out to balls like that. If he gets his pad behind it he has a free shot onto the off-side with no bat-pad in.

It was pretty much a half volley outside off stump... Smith just didn't move his feet at all.

Haha, i wouldn't say that. I think what he means is "Johnson just got a wicket with a ball that wasn't terrible", which is itself rare.
