If they don't get Ferg in his first 20 balls, calling a ton here.

 

[Athlai]

Usman may have just dropped his chance at making the team after a single bad Test for Hussey or North.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well bowled Shahzad - did he give the batsman a send off? because if he did very unnecessary.

Seems like he said "that's the boy" or "that's my boy". Probably just complimenting his own ball, he is a bit weird.

yeah seems it.

 

[Sylvester]

Very nice start by Ferguson. Should be a good test of his technique on this pitch.

Had a few words with Khawaja prior to getting him caught behind, when he did get him he just bellowed out "that's my boy", nothing harsh. Unnecessary ?

 

[Prince EWS]

What a ball. Don't know if he hit it or not but it was a peach anyway.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ferguson climbs into the long hop from Tiny Tim.

Also fair to say Slats not convinced by Hughes; said he has a technique that's "interesting" after a replay of the dismissal. Hmm.

& Ferguson gone. Maybe a bit unlucky, hip? Pearler from Bres tho.

 

[Sylvester]

Well there goes Ferguson with North and Hussey breathing a sigh of relief.

 

[Themer]

And another one.

Not overly sure he actually hit it and without hot spot its difficult to tell but that ball alone deserved a wicket. Shame for those pair though had a real chance to put down their credentials for Hussey/North's spot.

 

[Top_Cat]

Like I said, have to get him early.

 

[Woodster]

Short and sweet from Ferguson, England's back-up boys doing a very decent job on a helpful track here. Beauty from Bresnan shaping away from Ferguson, question mark as to what it actually flicked on the way through, but umpire Reiffel thought it was willow.

 

[Sylvester]

Was going to say before the Ferguson wicket how low Smith is batting. He should be at 6 with Paine in the usual spot for a keeper at 7. It's not like Smith can't bat either.

 

[Howe_zat]

So much for Ferguson. It's all about Cowan now, baby!

Selectors don't rate Smith's batting. Batted below Paine when they were both playing Tests too.

 

[Themer]

Was an edge. Didn't realise they had hotspot with them.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wow. Hot spot shows he did nick it. Great decision from the ump. Fair dos.

 

[Woodster]

Hotspot shows a nick on the outside edge, good decision from Reiffel.

 

[Burgey]

Lolworthy run. Out by two feet if Monty had hit.

Also Healy: STFU. Whinging poms? What is this? The ****ing 70s?

Nah, he's been reading CW

Sounds like there's a bit in this eh?

Nope; little nick. Well bowled Timothy. Any thoughts on a decent total?
