Nadeem Malik c & b Kaspa 16. So they'll select Gillespie, then.

Clarke and Ponting opening the batting for the Aussies. Apparently he wants a hit out

It's a warm-up match - and as such is preparation for Thursday. The only possible reason for giving Worcestershire another dig straight away would be to have a look at Tait again if they were considering including him in the test side (which I doubt). There's still one or two batters who could benefit from a little time in the middle, though.
I would actually think that a Kasper 5-for and Gillespie's 2/45 off 12 overs could have led to taking another good look at who to prefer on Thursday. Apparently not. Gillespie's position in the team must be stronger than I thought. His 50 will have helped, no doubt.

International Captain
Just 'cause I'm curious - out of the opportunities he's had to enact it, how many times has Ponting enforced the follow-on?
I suppose that he could have been concerned about his bowlers' fatigue, but I would have thought Kasper's pfeiffer might have given him another look, too.

Got to love Caddick's wishful thinking. 
We need to sharpen up - Graveney
I'm a massive fan of him (who can forget what he did to the West Indies a few years back) but I think his time might have gone now.

not quite, i expect bracken to be even more rubbish in india than he was in australia. he bowled well in ODIs yes, but ODIs are completely different from tests and he got a bunch of seam friendly pitches.Nnanden said:I reckon Bracken would bowl better overseas. He has done anyway, Tait hasn`t got much of a go.
Bracken in India anyone?

I assume he is only going to be 12th man instead of Tremlett?superkingdave said:
Afterall, Graveney just said the team would be unchanged.

they've looked at the pitch and obviously decided to call Collie up, it looks like a slow seamer

how in the world is going at 5 an over and nearly 6 an over, against zimbabwe and WI respectively anything other than very poor?FaaipDeOiad said:
theres a reason why he didnt bowl his entire 10 overs in those ODIs you know.
