I would venture to suggest that Strauss has hit more 4s down the ground already today than he did in his entire 161 at Lords and almost certainly more than the number of 4s he scored down the ground in his 123 in India.
Looked like a robot.
Always looks like that when he chases these days.
I think you are just reading his previous innings into his performance today there. He's looked pretty decent to me.
Nah, Bell's in next. Break these two up and crack it open imo.
Amazing that the ball hooped around for a couple of hours this morning but has done literally nothing since
I think his looked iffy. Had a few leading edges and his not put away the half volleys.
Just provides further emphasis as to what a ridiculous decision it was to leave Clark out
Thank god Bob Willis isn't the part of the commentary team, otherwise it won't have taken him long to say that "Watson seems like a 80 year old trapped inside a 27 year old's body".
Anderson is a genuine swing bowler though so it's not surprising that he got the ball to move a lot more than the more up and down Aussie bowlers.
Yeah you are right, there were a few times against Siddle and Hilfenhaus early on when they were bowling fairly straight when I thought, if the ball moves even a little bit and he missed it, he would be out plumb in front. Fortunately he got bat on them despite playing across his front pad.
