Conceded more runs than I would have liked, but to get them in and out in around about an hour (depending on how long this last wicket partnership lasts) is a good result.

Time is just as much an enemy as the scoreboard.

maybe the one time for Watson to resume his original technique. Go for a good 30 or 40 off 30 balls. Warner to either open or come in at 3.

I'm not a fan of shuffling batting orders..

It vary rarely works..

And i've seen it cause some disasters..

Our last tour of India being a case in point..

But they will be looking to bat for an extraordinarily short period of time. But you are right with Warner's frame of mind right now it would be risky.

I hate this cricket. Take the runs FFS. Anderson is no mug with the bat, you've got to have confidence in your lower order batsmen. And Clarkey should be trying to get Prior out, they got 9 wickets with attacking fields and good bowling why not him as well?

Why the f**k is Lyon bowling around the wicket to the left hander. He's only eliminating modes of dismissal AND avoiding the rough from Starcs footmarks.

How's he eliminating modes of dismissal? What mode of dismissal is he eliminating?

getting bowled out for a quick 120 might be the way to go though :D

(provided we have a 160 plus 1st innings lead)

Geez Lyon is shit. Has a good enough stock delivery, but he's so unimaginative when it comes to taking wickets.
