Is it just me that thinks this Sky Sports coverage is terrible, i don't know what is a new delivery and what is a replay!!

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

I'm getting concerned at the distinct lack of imagination coming from England so far. Nearly an hour and a half played and we've been bowling the same stuff from the start. Need to start mixing things up a bit.

You would have thought they would have discussed the collapse and watched the wickets again. Then come up with a strategy similar to the way Siddle bowled.

Katich makes Gary Kirsten look like Brian Lara

Well at least Andy Flower has made progress with the national team. The same can not said for Fapio Crapello

 

[Mendoza]

Can't believe Ponting comes in and we dish up four deliveries wide enough for him to watch go by. Get the guy playing PLEASE!

7 balls in, not one shot had to be played. letting him off the hook

 

[Brighton Boy]

they dont seem to have a plan like they have in recent series in england, especially 05........they should be trying to smash katich's leg stump out he walks across and we have chucked 1 ball down there.

4 sessions into the match, Australia have probably won all 4

Hope Swann carries on bowling after lunch. Time for a further coffee here and maybe 40 winks

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

The way things are looking at the moment you can't see Australia getting anything less than 450.

 

[SNOOBS]

Botham fuming

 

[pasty]

Oops, quick snooze. I take it things got no better after the wicket then?

 

[pasty]

2nd ball after lunch

PONTING GONE

 

[Marc]

YES GET IN! great time to get him out!
