1st Test England vs Australia

[Adelaide Hawk]

For such a good bowler, Mitchell Johnson bowls a lot of crap doesn't he?

Why isn't Hauritz bowling? I just can't work Ponting out.

HE does, and it's amazing that his many faults as a bowler aren;t being fixed.
Troy Cooley was meant to be the wonder boy of bowling coaches after the last ashes in England with reverse swing etc, yet we don't seem to be able to bowl it regularly.
Johnsons inability to raise his left arm higher and swing the ball in is an obvious flaw yet doesn't seem to be getting rectified.
If he could swing the ball in he would be devestating and it's only a minor fault in his action that will allow him to do that besides his release of the ball which seems to often scrambled.

Must admit, Boycott is staggered by that too .. Although Im almost happy with that because I freakin can't stand Boycott!!

Yes, especially with 4 weeks in the month and 4 girls in the house, I pity you dedja.
At least I can get a few days off per month when that all happens.

It was only 4 days ago and people were asking why is he even playing, how time changes things.
