Pretty poor innings from Kieswetter that. Batted too slow but got another very, very good delivery. He's not played well in this series, but he's recieved some bloody good deliveries TBF to him. The Hazlewood delivery nipped back and kept low, the Tait delivery was angling leg-side then swung late and that one nipped back off the deck. Kieswetter could really do with a big score in the final game of the series, or his place could be under threat already. I don't see him being dropped yet, I think the selectors and Flower have faith in him, but he needs to score some runs.

Kieswetter needs to go back to CC IMO

Reckon he'll score runs in about 1/5 innings against a decent attack

Hawkeye has the ball coming back in after impact. That can't be right, surely? Looked ok decision, but the ball wasn't swinging in flight.

Why bowl first.. or are we planning on chasing our way to WC victory next year? We've got the series won so I don't know why we couldn't have experimented and tried setting a target to see how our bowlers fare defending a score.

As far as I know, Hawkeye assumes that the ball goes straight on after impact irrespective of whether it was swinging beforehand

Pretty much, no time for experimentation now (current English structure hasn't done much wrong), bowling first was a sign they wanted to stick the boot in, and that sort of aggressiveness is refreshing.

Didn't look a straight line to me; the angle was changed after impact to my eyes. Seem to be slanting across slightly and then went straight on after it struck. Didn't look right to me.
