Vics have obviously decided that there is no point in letting Dussey score another ton as the selectors will never pick him anyway

Very disappointed by England today, especially concerned about the dropped catches. Here's hoping it's a dead pitch.

MHussey > DHussey

MHussey > DHussey

In a post just as relevant to his point

Bradman > McCabe

Yeah, not massively worried about Prior's drops. Seems like Tremlett was causing problems, too, having two chances dropped. Economy of less than 2 also good.

Slight exaggeration but not far off the point.

Bit of a fan of Tremlett, I watched his debut series against India. He seems to go past the bat and dry up runs more than he takes wickets though sadly. He doesn't have one 10 wicket match haul in First Class cricket

Doesn't sound like a great day, but if were gonna have an off day then this seems a good choice

Cook captain?

I love him but no, they can't just automatically bestow power on the nearest posh person.

I mean is he captain today? Strauss isn't playing is he? And Cook is official vice-captain.

 

[Rant0r]

Um, Strauss is playing

 

[benchmark00]

Strauss is playing.

Oh, thought Davies opened with Cook, right, makes sense

Hmm, just don't think the England reserve bowlers are very good at this stage. That said, figures would have been better if catches were taken.

 

[Rant0r]

Hard to tell just from the Cricinfo commentary.

I rate Tremlett and Shahzad, I do not however rate Bresnan

Paul Collingwood's replacement scores his first of many tons in Australia:
