Who do people think has been the best bowler so far out of both teams? Would be leaning towards Pattinson tbh. Didn't have the greatest time with the first new ball, but I think he's been the most consistently aggressive with the older ball. Shows what a flat wicket this is though, given nobody has managed to get any movement after the new ball. Hope Kevin Mitchell Jnr isn't being praised for this.

Most of CW didn't have a problem with the Gabba in 2010 so they must have no problem with this wicket?

Burgey has obviously just woken up from his 11:00 - 1:30 Monday nanny nap.

Gabba 2010 from memory had a bit in it for about the first 2 or so days, and then really flattened out bad. Wasn't a great wicket in itself, but it wasn't as bad as this.Most of CW didn't have a problem with the Gabba in 2010 so they must have no problem with this wicket?

ha actually thought Quiney looked pretty decent.

Ruckus, I'm going to say Steyn has been the best bowler so far this Test match. None of the six main strike bowlers have disgraced themselves, but the guys who generally require some swing or seam (Hilfenhaus and Philander) have looked the least likely but have at the same time been the tightest.

yeah indeed. Would have to be a battle between Steyn and Pattinson. Always love it when Steyn comes back for the occasional spell of 145k deliveries too.
Thought Philander was going to be a real handful after seeing him in the new ball overs, but yeah as you said, really hasn't had much going for him since. Wonder how McGrath would be faring on this.
