Better second over. Shame he won't get another for 40 minutes.

Yeah definetly England morning, long way to go here though for the poms, though the session score may be 4-3, Australias 4 have been more dominate than englands 3 imo.

I don't get why all of these commentators are saying that the 1st new ball didn't swing when it did?

In this innings?I don't get why all of these commentators are saying that the 1st new ball didn't swing when it did?
Hmm, 3 of the 4 maybe, but the 3rd session on Wednesday, I gave that to Oz, but it was very much our session until about 15 mins from the end

This was England's session, but I think marginally.
In the context of the game, they needed either another wicket or 20-30 less runs. Lead down to <100 now. They tend to evaporate quickly when that happens.
Presumably it'll be Flintoff & Anderson again after lunch?

This English bowlers did swing it when they pitched it up.

Yes, but poorly. Panesar having a spell before lunch reflected how Swann bowled before the 2nd new ball.

Broad bowling...why?

England's field placings have been schoolboyesque....and no Jimmy Anderson...is Strauss on drugs?

Because he looked threatening just before the brake.
This England attack seems able to create some pressure, but unable to sustain it. Too many four balls and not enough venom all in all. Both Anderson and Flintoff are capable of brutal balls but not consistently, Swann apparently has continued being disappointing today, and Braod and Panesar are simply not good enough atm.
It just takes Clarke and one of the four others with batting ability (North, Haddin, Johnson, Hauritz) to really get going and Australia could build a big lead here.
