Take out Johnson's 8-for and he really has looked average this series.

Granted you can't just say that his 8-for never happened, but at this stage it appears to me to be a freak occurrence. But the commentators are still talking him up like he's DK Lillee's lovechild.

Well once DK crapped on about how good he was going to be the selectors basically threw him straight in. Never mind domestic form or the fact that he's still a rookie - in he goes never to be dropped.

That in itself tells you that the selectors have no idea. They have no judgement of their own.

Siddle would be looking very good if Haddin could do what he is paid to do.

He is the only bowler out there that looks like he can hit the wickets.

Doesn't look like getting wickets at all. He has a huge crack to aim at and occasionally when it hits the crack it goes - just like that ball that hit the edge.

McDonald is on and probably a good move - he's a bit more accurate and can aim at that crack.

Jeez there looking ordinary but remember what happened in the 1st innings.
1/125 at stumps then 327 all out.

He has only had two overs at that end of the ground and got the edge when he did.

McDonald's been looking good. Actually starting to not mind the guy. I've claimed him from the treacherous Victoriania and christened him as brand new New South Welshman. Much better player already.

Siddle can still f**k off though. When are these bowlers going to realize Amla is possibly the best cover/square driver in the word. Sigh.

god I'd give anything for a spinner who could actually spin the ball and flight it above the batsmen's eye line

Hauritz is flat and doesn't spin the ball
