***Official*** Australia in England 2012

[Burgey]

And, after 125 years of international cricket, people still move behind the sight screen. Never ceases to amaze me.

stoked that we have another ex test bowler umping. great for the game.

I love Finn's approach to the crease...it looks like his feet have each decided they'll go it alone about 4 metres from the delivery crease and they've turned into flippers.

dirtbag to take 5

 

[Burgey]

Who's the bloke from Boyzone sharing the new ball with Finn?

 

[Son Of Coco]

And opening up at the other end we have 'The Only Way Is Essex'.

After seeing his tats and his economy rate I was going to ask if he gets a new tattoo every time he is hit for four but this is a good start from him. WAC.

 

[grecian]

Well to be fair to him a decent first over.

lovely ball from finn

lovely two

see what I mean about bowlers who go umpiring. top call

**** me Finn got good since I last saw him. He couldn't bowl two balls in the same place to save his life in the Ashes, let alone bowl two pearlers in a row.

 

[Howsie]

Still have no idea how Warner manages to score runs, can look like a complete numpty sometimes.

Pushing the meaning of the term a bit there.....

 

[Burgey]

I can't recall seeing too many bowlers whose action looks so neat and compact from the back as Finn's, but when you see the front on view his legs really do splay about.

I gather from what the commentators say that he knocks the nails off with his knee quite often?

We have been saying this for about a year now but nobody has listened. He looks pretty good to me yet still can't get in the test side.

 

[Burgey]

Warner not looking at all likely today.

I reckon even watching from the back the last few strides look like he's lost control of his legs. Reminds me a little of McGrath though in the way he hops in next to the stumps at delivery.

On another note, can't expect Cook to get to one that is in his corridor of uncertainty.

Probably ton up then.

Anderson, Broad and Bresnan keep smoking batsmen is a good reason.

I'm not being pedantic. Paul Wilson, great umpire.

****.
