Fifth bowler; 10 for 51. Up to KP now and as I speak he's down the wicket and clobbering a la Alec Stewart at Headers'!

It was right to bring the sub batsman in, but I'd have preferred someone like Prior to have been the sub and the subbee to be Gough (not that I'd have picked Gough in the first place)shaka said:

I think people were more concerned about who it was he replaced.shaka said:
Sheesh, Beefy should be applying for a position on Pietersen's management staff, the way he's bigging him up for a test place... Oh, wait.

25 in two overs here. We could have a game yet!

Did Pietersen's mis-hit/front-foot pull type thing go for 4 or 6? Cricinfo says it went for 4, but TMS said 6.

The amazing thing about this is that it's actually pretty good death bowling so far, particularly from Gillespie.

Oh Jason! What an absolute gem that was. Three great death balls in a row, a top yorker, a good slower ball and then an amazing slower ball.

KP bowled. That, in my opinion, is game set match Australia.

The Mullet Man is back, Brett Lee might miss out yet again. All I can say is...thank god.

Doubt it. Kasprowicz is the unlucky one for mine. Should Lee or Gillespie have a poor test or two, Kasprowicz will come back in.tassietiger said:
Might well be the end of Michael's career too, if Gillespie has a good Ashes and Lee performs as he has been too. Especially with Tait waiting around.

280 minimum on this wicket I'd venture, and if you'd batted first I reckon 300.FaaipDeOiad said:

If Kasper was the unlucky one I'd be extremely annoyed, as it's not the first time for him. Hopefully it will bring flashbacks for the selectors though, and remind them of their poor treatment of one Andy Bichel. Hardest worker you could hope for, most honest player that gave his all every chance he had (and also on the side was quite good), and they kicked him out and then he got player of the year for the domestic season.FaaipDeOiad said:
Similarly, Michael Bevan's stunning form surge after being dropped rather harshly. Dominated for Tassie, but I'm not complaining.
Kasprowicz would probably turn into another one of these stories as he is still a top-class bowler that can break a partnership when nobody else seems to be able to.

Giles dropped in the deep playing inside-out. Good job for Australia they won't be made to pay heavily for these drops.
Unless Giles goes on to smash 50*.....

Kasper bowling better, surely he won't be dropped? Remember Paul Reiffel. Go on.

Yeah maybe, but sometimes you have to be unfair. Lee needs to be picked, simple as that. McGrath is the best bowler in the world, so you can't drop him. Who's left? Gillespie and Kasprowicz, and Tait at a stretch. Kasprowicz was good in the last game but poor elsewhere, and Gillespie was poor up until this game too. Unless Kasprowicz takes a big haul in the FC game though, Gillespie will make the third seamer spot on the back of this performance.tassietiger said:
