His length is poor. All he has to do is find the right spot and keep bowling it there and you'll get wickets. But he does for maybe 2-3 overs and then reverts to his too full or too short mix.
We're watching different games.

That said, he just dragged down a couple to Huss. Been average since lunch.

Broad warned for running on the deck. Would hurt England badly if he couldn't bowl.

Is Swann fatiguing here I wonder?

Like to see Ponting put that pull shot away to Broad tbh.

That's the one ray of light for Aus; take Swan and Broad out of the attack and the backup is fairly pedestrian right now. Freddie clearly on one leg, Harmi all over the place and Anderson ineffective. Some runs there.

That said, they need to stay out there to take advantage first.

Why is Strauss over-bowling Broad and Swann?

Give Harmison a go - try Anderson! Different bowler and different tactics might give you guys a wicket...

Try something new - 360 is a huge amount of runs but I am sure Ponting has different ideas.... :)

No you wouldn't.
Bit exaggerated perhaps but still, massive difference between now and "****, we're in with a chance". Plus after North bowled almost 50 overs in the match, I think Aus will essentially be a bat down.
