Dizzy still in the XI, I see. Good call? Bad?

 

[Hoggy31]

Good, Needs as much match bowling as possible

 

[aussie]

ahhh first boundary but streaky...

 

[PY]

Not if he gets walloped during this match though.

Yep. Far more important to get the bowling right than to win these games.

good call, he needs some confidence

 

[Neil Pickup]

Good start for England, 15-0 after six - the ball calming down a little now. Looks good (I hope)

 

[King_Ponting]

yeh it will be interesting to see how well he goes.

 

[BoyBrumby]

For my money it's a very Australian decision to leave him in; to have omitted him would've shown we'd got to him. It's certainly the braver option, but if Tres/Fred/KP/Colly takes the long handle to him again it'll be v interesting to see if he's there come Tuesday.

 

[King_Ponting]

depends who does better out of kaspa and himself

 

[King_Ponting]

and kasper picks up strauss

Looking like no gillespie come tuesday.

 

[aussie]

oh yes Kasper

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Looking like no gillespie come tuesday.

Why Tuesday? It would be stupid to play them both in one game and them drop one. All four seamers should play through to the Tuesday game as well, and Kasper and Gillespie in the FC tour games. They need all the game time possible.

Looking like no gillespie come tuesday.

i wont be so quick to say that

 

[BoyBrumby]

Decent-ish ball from Kasper, moved back into the left-hander a bit, but another very ordinary shot from Strauss. His form (or lack thereof) is our biggest concern.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oh bravo Vaughany. Great leave.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Game on!

 

[King_Ponting]

Lowest Scorer in the match predition - Micheal Vaughan

My prediction is looking good atm

 

[aussie]

anyone realise that McGrath is bowling form the end that he has had his most success in the past at lord's.England in trouble......
