1st Test England vs Australia

[FD88]

Ridden his luck today too, Collingwood. As did that idiot Broad. We'll still win the series but this was a golden opportunity to kill off any false hope the poms had.

Johnson would be the worst "new ball" bowler I've seen. I'm not saying he can't bowl, he just continues to waste a new ball, time and again. Siddle and Hilfenhaus should be our new ball bowlers with Johnson 1st change.

Remember back to the South African tour AH that is why he is the new ball bowler, although i agree he is bowling crap atm and is wasting the new ball

As i write that he bowls another wide

I don't care about South Africa, I care about now. His bowling is pathetic at the moment.

Agreed his current bowling is terrible but the new ball gets handed out on form and not just on one performance. He showed in South Africa he can be very damaging with the new ball.

As long as we can get one wicket here soon we will still be a good chance of winning.

[dedja]

Keep it up wycbloods, you're the only one making any sense here atm

[Gozu]

Anderson can hang around a bit too. Starting to get a bit anxious.

Haven't looked like taking a wicket for a while now....

This is gonna be a draw

Hilf looks the most likely thats for sure.

C'mon Mitch. We need a breakthrough.

Agree but it'll take something freakish to force it now I feel. Collingwood isn't going to lose his head surely, and as long as he's there the good advice is coming through to the player at the other end.

We've also gotta face facts, this is an India-like flat track and we've done exceptionally well to get to this point. We're still good things to secure the urn, very much so.

[NFC]

Get out of the friggen attack now.

[rod_rooster]

Get out of the friggen attack now.

Agree. Bring Siddle on.

[Gozu]

That has to be the end of Johnson.

[wycbloods]

Credit where it is due Collingwood has batted very well here. The only recognised batsmen to show the application required for the Poms.

[Gozu]

Hilfy!

[rod_rooster]

Hilf!!! Swann gone LBW. You beauty

[wycbloods]

you beauty we will win it now

Go hilfy

[dedja]

game on ... watch the panic now.

[NFC]

I LOVE THE HILF!!

[FD88]

BIG POSITIVE: Hilfy has troubled them big time without much swing, on a flat as **** track. He's going to raise hell in the coming tests.

Lets not lose sight of how long this series is!

[Gozu]

Full credit to Ponting and the selectors I would've picked Clark over Hilfenhaus.
