[Riggins]

did swann hurt himself dropping that catch?

Warne saying moist and wet was the worst thing in recorded human history. We all bare witness to it.

interesting move by cook to bowl swann in the death overs

 

[NUFAN]

I really enjoy Clarke's captaincy so much more than Cooks. I just can't believe how England don't appear to ever put a fielder in a slightly unusual spot for any batsman. The only thing I can remember is the occasional leg slip, which got Clarke out.

interesting move to pair warne with strauss

There just doesn't seem to be much thought behind some of Cook's plans (ie. two slips to Broad, deep fielders etc) - he just does it because it's "standard"

Dare I say Watson seems to be showing the maker's name to those full in-duckers from Bres?

"Watto, you big powerful man, take me downtown." You've been in England far too long Warney.

 

[Spark]

Actually impressed. We managed to bat out an entire session of threatening seam bowling without too much damage. Almost a novelty.

Time for the Earl of Twirl segment then I suppose.

Tipping it's Paul Adams today.

 

[Ruckus]

excellent session

Did warne's revs ever get recorded?

There were a couple where he started to go to his old ways which he got away with due to eye, but overall he's improved a lot in that area this innings, can really see he's working hard on it.

Been watching downstairs with the folks till now, and I have a question: Why the **** does the ball not seam on day 1, but hoop around corners the very next day???

 

[Spikey]

maybe the softer ball just suits watson better

Been a fascinating session, yes you rode luck at times but that is the game.
