Didn't see that one coming. So let's see if we can make it count and grab 2 or 3 more with the new ball.

Man, Broad looks good to Clarke here. Got to make it count before he gets going or I can see them declaring 2 down.

...So, for now, it is still Jason Gillespie with the last double hundred overseas for an Australian. Although Smith still has a chance.
Haha wow that's a great statistic.

Didn't smith miss his double in West Indies by 1-2 runs?

England seem to have just worked out that bowling straight and full may just be a good idea. Only took them 3 and a bit sessions.

That's very quick considering it took them 20 years to understand ODI batting should be more aggressive.

Tuned in for commentary on Cricket; listening to Japan's involvement in super league rugby. Top stuff.

just kidding. Good work keep it up guys.

I don't really understand the plan to Smith, Broad is bowling wide outside off, everyone else is bowling both sides of the wicket to him. No consistent team approach.

Fair to say Broad has been the bowler of the series thus far? Was an excellent spell just there.

Lord's is always quicker on day 2 than 1. Just it doesn't often deteriorate so on day 5 it is still like a day 3 pitch anywhere else.

Cardiff had more in it for the bowlers than this does on what I have seen.

I was winding it up a bit, it's looking a bit quicker today, or less of the slow bounce.
