Case in point, the amount of batsmen in this game being made to look pedestrian whilst maintaining 50+ career averages.Yeah precisely. If we complain about flat wickets then we should be praising wickets like this. This might be a bit overdone but I won't hold that against it. The cricket has been great.
Watson bowled the spell of the day. A couple of Lyon's wickets came from **** shots but he looked genuinely threatening all day.Didn't manage to watch any of the earlier stuff. Were Lyon's wickets more to do with solid bowling or just ridiculous assistance from the pitch/batsmen? Also how did Harris, Johnson and Copeland fare? Threatening or otherwise?
StuartBroad!10 wickets for 79 in 23 overs.
Is he the new new new new McGrath, or the new new new new new McGrath?For what one innings of bowling is worth, Copeland really has a McGrath-esque presence about him. It's a welcome calming agent to the circus that Johnson brings.
McGrath is the old Copeland.Is he the new new new new McGrath, or the new new new new new McGrath?

Yeah, no way was hitting Leg.If anything, wouldn't the ball have turned towards offstump and hit that instead of leg?
