indeed it was. Still worryingly little swing.

Yeah have to say bit concerned now, I find it hard to believe if its swinging conditions that hilfenhaus can't swing it.

He really doesn't swing it that far anyway, though. Not in the same way as Anderson, anyway.

There are options, but hopefully Ravi'll get a few and make it so we don't need to use another guy.

Exactly my thoughts. Particularly with the way the ball was moving for the Poms. Unless the ball got wet yesterday and it effected the shape/size of the ball making it conducive to swing today then there really is no reason why the poms could swing it more.

Well Hilf reliably swings it far more than this in FC/ODI games and even in both tests so far.

Strauss driving around like a mad-man at the moment, never seen him bat like this ever perhaps.

Played some awesome cover drives on debut. Didn't look nearly as good even then as he does now straight down the ground though tbf.

Dispute that. Have never seen him really hoop it late at pace. Seen plenty of him at state level too. More, yes, but not much more.

err. The reason would be because Anderson and Onions are infinitely better swing bowlers.

IT'd be nice if the bloke that swings it a bit stopped getting hit for four.

Jack Horton?
It is a little hard to create pressure with one four every over.
