Watson will be pleased

Looking forward to catching some of this match, very happy with the XI we've selected too. Also, I notice Howe said on the previous page that Australia's fielding isn't as good as England. I doubt it. I can't see anything that makes Englands team seem better? Steve Smith is the best fielder from the 22 playing today.

 

[Spark]

Yeah odd comment. Smith/Clarke/Warner? Smith is in Symonds/young-Ponting/young-Clarke fielding class (ie. "all-time" fielding class), and Warner's not far off.

 

[Jayzamann]

Y'know I almost forgot Bailey even existed for a moment there.

Clint McKay with a straight throw into the keeper.

 

[uvelocity]

that's some proper carry. Wish I could do that

 

[benchmark00]

Bah, we want chilly willy (Cummins).

 

[Spark]

Straight to the fine leg boundary.

English blue lightening towards Indian blue, which was darkened away from Afghan blue, but none are as dark as Sri Lankan blue.

[Ruckus]

arrg English weather is such a bore

 

[Jayzamann]

Those hover doodads are pretty awesome. Haven't been listening to the banter but is there much pessimism about the rain?

 

[benchmark00]

McKay headed straight to the pavilion.

"Forecast is not terrible" is all I heard...so about as optimistic as possible.

Ta.

Just got the footy in the background, getting difficult to split my attention.

The steadicam dude is getting a workout - "my time to shine!"

 

[benchmark00]

Tell me when they're starting again, watching footy.

Morgan and Anderson are the only 2 good fielders in this England side. Bopara, Bell and Cook are no more than ok.
