I've put money on the draw so I shouldn't be really complaining about Johnson but it's hard not to

Yeah I am going to come back in three hours, I would rather watch The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - the feature film rather than the Siddle, Johnson and Cook show.

Siddle was the only one who looked threatening in the slightest and he didnt bowl very well.
Hilfy was tight but not threatening.
Johnson was a disgrace, could've easily gone for more runs than he did
Hauritz - meh

Not bowling to the ground and conditions in the slightest and that comes back to the captain. Hauritz round the wicket with the slope going from the off to the leg side for the batsmen? Dumb dumb dumb, of course the ball will drift to leg, and he is being easily picked off. Bowl him the other end so he can at least take the ball away from them a bit.

Hauritz to Cook, no run, drives this smoothly out to cover, but that's exactly where Hauritz wants Cook driving - feeling for it outside off. He does love a feel, Cook


You have to wonder about some of these commentators..
