Did those bagging the Pommy bowlers actually watch the Cricket last night? They were fantastic. Sure there was some poor shot selection at times, but you can't discount the pressure that was being exerted on our bats. North in particular was absolutely strangled - didn't score a run in half an hour at the crease.
I was actually quite impressed by Broad last night. When he bowls line and length he gets a bit of bounce and is quite hard to score off. He really deserved his two wickets last night, even if they were from poor shots.
I agree. I think the same people who just assumed we would continue on our way from the first test. The thing about cricket is it only takes a guy like KP or Strauss to stand up and England have a massive total, and then it only takes a few good balls and Australia are 3 for whatever.
Flintoff is daylight the best bowler in the series. Anderson is second best as well. They bowled well yesterday, early on they bowled full.
Broads okay, nothing special but bowled well at times yesterday. Onions i dont thinks terrific. In saying that Johnson and Siddle have shown nothing in the first two tests erally.
As mentioned elsewhere, Johnson has played a huge part in us being where we are. His poor bowling was a huge factor in us not winning the first test, and a huge factor in us letting England get to where they are here. B
