Can't believe someone that good is coming in at 7. 'Tis true strength in depth.

definately 7 is too low for a Batsman of his quality, but if you know you have a bloke like that coming in at 6 or 7, it would give you a huge comfort.

.. In the batting department. I wouldnt say that as comfortably about the bowling.

yeah thats true, the young bowlers are talented but abilities at the highest level thus far is unproven.

Good stuff from Colly (I'm touching wood as I type!), but Sir Bob made an interesting point: was there a case for leaving Gilo out? It really doesn't seem like a spinners track at all & we could always muddle an over from Vaughan or KP if it were so needed.

Yeah spot on point made by the commentator. With 21 overs left and then Giles coming on to bowl, certainly doesnt seem he would be used fully. Tremlett>Giless as an option with the seam movement we have seen on this pitch.

And now Collingwood and Giles operating... Vaughan going for the jugular then.

OK, now you know as well as I do that there is no real alternative - or would you have them sharing the last 10?

(don't give me the usual about going for the kill - why do you think that Symonds hasn't managed to get the ball off the square since 12.00? He's waiting for the last 10 overs - and so is Vaughan)

Bring one on of course (Collingwood is the better option on this pitch), but you still want a pace bowler at the other end to try and get that crucial 6th wicket - unless Vaughan is confident the cloud will disappear then you should not just be settling for Australia getting 200 minimum.

It's possibly the last time we'll ever see it.
