why, when there are two set batsmen, do our bowlers persist on bowling short?

These poms have hardly played any drives at all today. won't get many wickets for little runs if you persist in short snot and don't pitch the f**king ball up.

f**k me, this bowling from Johnson, Watson and Siddle has been worse than f**king amateur.

gee we are missing Dougy

Siddle doesn't seem to have much without the green tinge and the humidity.

There is still no build up of pressure, bugger all maidens, too many loose balls to release the pressure.

How bad are we going if North is out only wicket taker ?

The pitch is a road and should be tough to get wickets but we have put down chances and are not bowling to any plans at all. I really think Punter expected the Poms to crumble...

I don't mind Tony Grieg, imo it gets boring hearing 13 Aussie commentators wanking off over Australia all the time, especially when they are justifying the reason for Johnson, North, Siddle, Hussey et al to remain in the side.

A bit of variety is good, makes you realise just how bad this commentary can be to listen to if you don't support Australia. He's a damn sight better to listen to than Healy and that dumb f**k Slater.

Agree Unit, I have listened to ABC for a few years now and mute 9. Robuck goes on a bit but they are all very good. Kerry O'Keefe nows his cricket and is one of the funniest blokes I have heard.

A fast bowler low on confidence = Mitch Johnson.

A spell out of the team working on some basics and working his way back may just be what he needs.

I do fear that our selectors will think oh we got away with a draw we don't need to change the team...

It was Vaughn, and Johnson has to go. Ponting cannot keep his pet in the team any longer. Are we going to drop another Batsman to keep Johnson in????

Johnson is gone I can't see how he could be selected for the 2nd test. North needs to go but won't.
