Tiny Tim picks up Haddin. Missing leg was first thought, tbh. Bet hawkeye has it just clipping.

Lower order to drag score to 700.

That's what you get for making crappy selections.

What about the Michael Vaughan way of getting out, where your foot movement, head position and general technique is absolutely spot-on but you nick the ball? That's how Ian Bell gets out normally i reckon.

Vaughan's defensive technique is certainly not spot-on, his footwork is poor often failing to get forward or back before ending up getting bowled.

Ian Bell is another story however, plays down the wrong line far too often.

Jesus. Saj shells a dolly return catch from Hussey. For FCA purposes Hussey scores 75.

Good opportunity for Johnson to get some batting practice, he's gonna need it badly.

Often leaves a massive gap between bat and pad does Vaughan too. But he still plays the wrong line a fair bit.

Bresnan bowling in the high 80s at the moment, pretty decent pace considering some of the members glowing reviews of his 'military medium' bowling on here.

agreed on both counts. Think his eye left him a long time ago, kept missing straight balls many times during the past few years.

North has done **** all since that ton he made first up against the Saffers.

He's played one test since.

 

[Prince EWS]

He's played one test since.

Don't forget one and a half infinitely meaningful warmup matches!

Looks out of nick tho, tbf. Badly.

Haha, how quickly some 'fans' like to pass judgement. No problems when he scores a ton on debut, but a few low scores in non-Test Matches later and you're calling for his blood? Okay then.

inbox - I can see you getting reported a lot and even banned if you keep this up. Terrible, predictable stuff from you.

There's definately reason for concern over North's form. But these doomsday predictions seem pretty over the top, have to say.

I reckon he'll come good, even be in the leading run-scorers this Ashes. Surprise, surprise.

 

[Nate]

And as has been said by many so far, how beautiful is The Huss in full flight?

 

[King Pietersen]

The yorker to Johnson definitely looks like a good option early on, what with his high back-lift. Could be a ploy used by England to him.

 

[social]

Eng will really regret it if the Lions play Hussey into form by continuing to serve Rashid and Mahmood up to him - he's the sort of guy who'll continue to pile up runs once the first 100 is out of the way

 

[social]

Which is worse?

Oz 240/6 vs Eng Lions or Eng 239/5 vs Warwickshire

Either way, it's hardly stellar stuff

 

[pasag]

Johnson for a ton here.

Backing Mitch to do a Freddie 05 or Warney 05
