Pull shots like the one Hayden just hit now are so ugly, but hey it got him 4.

OH THAT WAS CLOSE!

Chanderpaul drops Hayden!

Are you Ian, are you Ian, are you Ian Bell in disguise?

A bit harsh there Neil

 

[Slow Love™]

Holy crap, Shiv dropped that one - I thought it fell short. Had Hayden hook, line and sinker, too. If you're gonna set a trap, you have to make sure you finish the job when the opportunity comes.

In the Vaughan position. Looks like Shiv was watching the Ashes series with some of his field placings. Vaughney should charge royaltys or at least a copyright charge.

Just looking at the replay of Hussey's celebration, Powell was swinging his arms in celebration before Ramdin took the catch. It wouldn't have been a pretty sight had the catch been dropped.

Virtually everyone uses that fielding position to Hayden now. Shaun Pollock did as well, as did Graeme Smith.

I'd have caught that.

Denesh Ramdin looks like a pretty damn good keeper from the first impressions I've seen, taking really smoothly and efficiently, none of the GoJo irongloves.

I thought it was funny when Ponting started using the field for Trescothick? in the Ashes.

Especially as Trescothic drives much more through cover than straight.

Hayden for a ton here today. You heard it here first!

 

[Jono]

Damn it Nicholas is commentating. I just realised.

Ponting is in for a massive summer, I think. He looked in incredible form in the whole Super Series, and looks great here too.

 

[Top_Cat]

Jermaine Lawson seems to have dropped quite a bit of pace since I last saw him bowl. A real pity.

Some things to think over (and reply hopefully) during the lunch break:

and compared to the english attack, every other attack he faces will seem easy too.

or maybe not

37 from 81 LBW to Collymore

Well you certainly got that one right.

I'm just hoping that a score of around 300 will be the most available to the Aussies. Middle order has the potential to fall cheaply. Just hope someone can do a bit of magic. Wished Bravo was playing over Edwards though. He might have been one to do that.
