Hate to say this, but this is where England miss Harmison and Panesar a bit. They cop a lot of crap for getting flattering figures by dismissing tailenders after bowling rubbish to the top order (rightly, tbf), but there's no doubt they're quite effective at finishing an innings off. Panesar bowls a high percentage of deliveries which will hit the stumps and Harmison's really awkward - both attributes are often highly effective against rabbits.
Now I'm not saying either of them should be picked just to knock the tail over as that's frankly quite ridiculous (particularly as they have been known to fail to do so when it really counts anyway - Daren Powell to confirm) but it's certainly something England lack when neither of them are playing.

Siddle and Hauritz are both underrated as batsmen.
Siddle getting a few edges.
Is Broad really bowling over 90 MPH? I have my doubts.

That its assuming they actually have the chance to enforce it, which is looking less and less likely at the moment.

But he was born in NZ, correct? If I moved to New Zealand, I would still consider myself and Australian. Plus, he is technically a New Zealander.

Even as a child, Ricky hated it when things didn't go his way.
Oh, is it not a caption competition, my bad.

I was referring to the more classier members, such as yourself. You being distinctly superior to that cokc bird.

All right, all right, we get the picture.

He moved when he was four, though, and he considers himself Australian. "New Zealand-born Australian" sums him up, IMO. Not that I actually want to claim him.

Unbelievably important partnership here. If England get a 150+ lead, the game is pretty much over. Although Australia recovered from a hammering in Edgbaston in 1997 to win the series, this is the second Test and they'll feel under massive pressure if they lose this. Siddle and Hauritz look comfortable though and need to try to bat all day. I'm hopping in the shower now and reckon that one of them will be gone by the time I come out - caught at third slip is my prediction.

He's here anyway, though. He's a CricketWebber now.. hope it stays that way, TBH.
