I know Siddle took two big wickets yeasterday, but would you take concern that he has gone for now15 boundaries? This is something Lloyd and Atherton were just talking about. Still a economy rate of over 4 an over is quite high for Test cricket.

Nice shot there from Broad. Looking pretty fluid for this early in the day (a better shot than I saw from Strauss or Cook yesterday morning)

Just goes to show that batsmen batting well is really boring.
na more like batsman milking the crap bowling like ODI middle overs is boring.

Batsman doing well against good bowling is exciting to watch.

So, anything under 350, means Aus are on top, anything above 400 means Eng are on top. I guess this is a top start for proper Test Cricket. Game on!

Ha, would say Scott Quinnell has filled out since his playing days, but was always a lardo, tbh. He's about the same.

By definition though that doesn't happen all that often. Much more often good bowling does well against batsmen. Mostly when batsmen do well it's against bad bowling.

And BTW for me milking average bowling to deep-set fields is no more or less boring than rubbish bowling being smashed for lots of boundaries.
