done

ps lol'd at clarke not putting down straight forward chances at slip

Was to his left tbf. He catches everything to his left.

Good team effort this by Australia, yes Copeland hasn't got the wickets but he has given Clarke one thing that Ponting didn't have for a while at the end of his captaincy and that is control. Kept it nice and tight and the scoring has been slow because he gives you very little to hit.

Dude, Johnson hasn't bowled that badly this match. He's been pretty accurate and has built pressure nicely.

 

[Spark]

Bowl normally to Mathews please. Or get Mitchell off.

I don't think he's been good or bad. He's just been his usual self when in between his best bowler in the world match. Not deserving of anything really - praise or criticism.

Safe to say Mathews have had Johnson's number in this innings... 39 off 36 from him alone...

And not just because he bowls every ball wide outside the off stump. He doesn't go for many because he bowls in the right areas.

Johnson deserves this

Why does he deserve it? Because he releases the pressure and allows the runs to flow, but every now and again bowls a good ball?

Copeland found the edge two balls before he was taken off and keeps it tight. Johnson should have followed Harris. Picking up a tail ender doesn't really change that.

What's normal for Johnson? I have no idea.

Yeah same as what Copes has been in this match really.

Yep, be interesting to see what he might do on a decent pitch for pacemen with a bit of nip off the seam.

Mathews to be stranded on 99*.

Mathews to be stranded on 99*.

Herath pinching the strike

Herath took a single off the last ball? Unreal...
