Johnson has looked more normal as a bowler, but has almost zero penetration. He doesn't look right as first change, doesn't build pressure, doesn't swing it, still bowls to wide, and he seems to be bowling slower and the batsmen just play him easily, what do we do with him?

 

[uvelocity]

what do we do with him?

get rid of! once in a generation my elbow

Luckily his batting workload for an opening batsman has lowered

That's a pretty sarcastic view of things, if we make Watto bowl 20-25 overs in this innings then we shouldn't really expect him to open in the 2nd gig and perform.

 

[uvelocity]

finally! nice little nip back

 

[adub]

See Pete - pitch it up son.

Gay arse partnership.

Gay arse partnership.

Yes, I liked it too.

Edit: Oh, whoops, you meant "gay" as in "anything generally bad".

Well isn't that super.

 

[Spark]

holy ****, a wicket!

 

[uvelocity]

the acronyms on here baffle me thank **** for google

 

[morgieb]

**** yeah Siddle!

 

[pup11]

That wicket was against the run of play but I guess Siddle probably would have understood exactly why he should be pitching it up more often.

 

[Johnners]

(y) Moobs

 

[uvelocity]

bit of swing from johnson, what gives?

 

[pup11]

Was that reverse swing...?

 

[Howe_zat]

Welcome back Mitchy.

 

[DriveClub]

Have to say can't believe we got our selves all out for 300 on such a flat pitch, something tells me they got over confident thinking they already had the series in hand.

 

[DriveClub]

I'd seriously advice someone to take Mitch to a psychiatrist.

It's not that surprising. They're hardly the most convincing top 6 in the world, are they?
