Although they would have had to leave on length a lot, and they were pretty much all out before they had the chance to see that there was enough bounce in the pitch to do that.

Ah apologies. The Finn ball was number 2 then.

The Rogers one was hitting imo.

 

[morgieb]

Johnson to 3 imo

compelling cricket

 

[Riggins]

Great point Warney!

 

[Prince EWS]

How much you put out?

$10 on each. Once Cook won the toss something like this was always a lot more possible than the bookies were suggesting.

Yup.

But Smith and Marsh walking across their stumps means that they ended up playing at balls that they didn't have to (and not just their dismissals).

Voges fell on 25th ball. No team in the history of the game had been 5 down in less deliveries.

Even if not, there's no way you're leaving that.

 

[NUFAN]

So for the first hour it was probably England's session but this second hour has belonged to Australia, so its even stevens basically.

 

[Furball]

Just checking, when has coming over here and blasting out the Poms with pace worked?

It's why I wasn't picking Johnson pre-series (admittedly before Harris retired.)

 

[King Pietersen]

Great point Warney!

Said no-one. Ever.

Starc/Johnson showing the top order that playing with soft hands is how to do it in England.

Woops

So who else did you bet on but are not mentioning?

Not a chance. It was unplayable.

46-8

 

[vic_orthdox]

Starc's hands are so high.

Yeah but you have to realise they weren't hitting the stumps because they moved away. That's how you get edges. Clarke's was horrendous, but most of the others were excellent bowling. If a ball pitches in line and is going straight on, chances are batsmen will middle it. Apart from Nevill, anyway.

Mark Wood.

Is there any reason at all why Broad isn't the greatest English cricketer who will ever live?
