International Captain
Going by cricinfo, he does have three sixes - obviously having a good time! Francis not doing all too shabby either by the look of things. 12* off 14 so far.

Not sure why Hussey gets a bowl ahead of Katich. Jayasuriya 100* (77)...

Katich is always a dicey proposition in one day matches though, he bowls long hops like they're going out of fashion. Hussey is quite a handy military med though, especially on a slow pitch where the ball isn't coming on.

As flat as taunton is i wouldn't have been surprised to see agarkar and co tonked around but mcgrath and co?? Something must be up. Can't see why they left out gillespie either as he was poor on monday, along with all the aussies. You'd think they would want as much practice as they could get.

His only other options are to bring back Lee (who he'll probably want to save for later) or bring back Kasper (who's gone for 10 an over). Watson hopefully won't bowl again today.

You Aussies and your world-class Test bowlers - don't you realise all you need to win games at Taunton is a 17-stone fat bloke who can hit a ball approximately three miles from a standing start? :p :D

Besides, if he's going to try and get after anyone, it'll be Clarke. He prefers the spinners. Hit Mushtaq Ahmed for 25 in one over the other day - 666116!

It was his big chance to impress too, the poor fellow. Just gotta query whether his bowling is suited to the One Day format, just a bit samey - lets the batsmen get into a rhythm?

Bringing on Katich could backfire spectacularly, though. One long-hop and Blackwell will be up and running - as will deep square leg........ :D

Edit: Blackie just hit McGrath for six......
