Need Starc to Bowl to him. So far some nice shape for Starc in this first over.

Also, if anyone is interested in some fantasy cricket: http://games.espncricinfo.com/fantasy/homepage.aspx

And at lunch England go off at 2/98.

Some info on David Warner. He's been sent off to Zimbabwe & South Africa with the Australian A team to get some much time in under the belt.

Rekon he'll be back for the third test should he do well.

I thought I just saw him listed as 12th man for this test?

12th man is hardly a locked in thing. The whole squad is there, anyone can do the drinks/etc.

Shame really, he's been training all his career to be 12th man. All that effort gone to waste.

True, but I'm sure only 12th man can come onto the field in the case of injury. Seems a silly risk to list him as 12th man and then send him overseas when there are others sitting in the sheds?

Nathan Lyon is 12th man, not Warner.

Fair enough.

Siddle bags his first for the series. KP out right after lunch. Aussies looking good here.

See ya later Pieterson. Gone straight after lunch, caught Clarke bowled Watson.

3/100/

His 2nd.



It was Siddle. Are you two even watching? :lol:

Dammnit! :lol: Was in the kitchen throwing a frozen pizza in the oven. :lol:

Thought Watson was bowling.

I didn't think Watson was going to bowl any more in tests?

Australia are playing far too straight at Trott. He'll whip em off his legs for 1s and 2s every day of the week.

SIDDLLLEEEEE

PETER KNOCKS OVER TROTT FOR 48 OFF STUMP KNOCKED OUT OF THE GROUND!!!

A wideish delivery, trott knocks it onto his own stumps.

4-124

I haven't watched since lunch, but in the two hours before that, the amount of movement we were getting really worries me... Jimmy Anderson is going to have an absolute riot bowling to our 11 bunnies.

Wow, was not expecting Trott to throw himself away like that. Chopped on for 48, Siddle bags his third. He's looking much better since lunch.

One of the openers goes cheap, Australia all out for ~220.

Wow, this Bairstow bloke is useless. How on earth did he become a test batsman.

He's doing better than Bell. Jus' sayin'.

What's Warner doing out there? :? Someone shave that filthy moustache off his face.

He's definitely not doing better than Bell. He may have more runs than bell, but he is looking very average out there. Wicket will fall shortly, Starc to get one on off stump to him.

What's this rev-counter drivel?

Siddle you beauty

Siddle again! Bell gone, caught Watson. He was looking solid too.

Prior coming in. He and Bairstow have the potential to put on some quick runs, but now is a good time for the Aussies to break into the bowlers.

Ok.

Has there been a period of more than 2-3 overs without the commentators labelling it a "crucial period of play"?

5 for Siddle. Prior, what are you doing. Haha.
