I actually doubt you will see Henriques bowl that much tbh. McGrath, Lee, Bracken & Clark will do the bulk of the bowling, and MacGill, Casson & Hauritz will get a few short spells also.

first time i've seen Henriques since the under-19 world cup final and the bloke looks very good with the willow. Would like to see him bowl 2moro but its unlikley i guess.

For England the form of the bowlers continue to be a worry.

Before lunch, it was really, really hot, but after lunch it cooled down a lot and there was a bit of cloud cover. But yeah, in general it was a pretty poor performance from England, and no bowler looked as if he was going to take a whole load of wickets. If their 6 best bowlers can't bowl out a state team in a day, something's wrong. Their fielding was pretty pedestrian too, a few hard chances were put down, and there were quite a few misfields.

Not spectacular. In the first session, someone edged an attempted pull shot, and it was a genuine chance, if a little hard, as Jones had to dive down the leg side, but he missed it altogether and it went for four. Everything else was okay though, but he did juggle a few takes.

I remember Australia losing to Bangladesh and Somerset prior to the 2005 Ashes and winning the first test. They drew with Essex later on. While I am worried about England's form and I don't dismiss the warmups you can't really take too much from them.

True, when was the last time England did well in their warm ups anyways? Lost to board Presidents XI in india, Lost to the Pakistan A side in Pakistan and i believe lost to the SA A side the winter before that. They're probably only going to add to their collection.

crap, Henriques out, was hoping he'd carve Harmy & Hoggy all over the shop, and in turn, gain shock selection for the gabba test :p

Play resumes after a rain delay. 17 overs lost for the day. Although it was unlikely for England to bat twice, they definitely won't now, unless they are forced to follow on.

No problem...:D

England batting now. McGrath bowling the first over. Will be interesting to see if the England batsmen attack McGrath or he gets the upper hand. Will also be interested to see how they handle Lee. Clark will want a reasonable performance, just won't want one that bowls him out of the test side.

EDIT: Trescothick hits McGrath for 4 to finish the first over. England 0/4.
