Still a bit of worry about North, hasn't cracked a big score in a while. I'm hoping it is just the warm up but Ponting and Katich again failed to convert the start into a biggie, in particular Ponting who has been getting starts but not going on which has cost us in the batting.

Lee would be happy with picking up a 3fer but he was a little expensive. Not surprised Clark picked up a few but he went for a little more then I would have thought. Hilfy was economical as was Siddle but Siddle picked up 2. I guess the bowl off is still pretty even after considering those stats. Maybe Hilfy is falling behind a tad. Devo to see Haury get hammered and not even get a scalp though. Thats really worrying.
lol Hughes is gun. 0/18 off 7 and Hughes is 17* and Katman 0*.

Oh cricinfo was stuffing up, didn't realise there was a whole days play after we were 0/18
Good to see Hughesy get some runs as well as Punter after their first innings disappointments. Interesting to see Clarke make a good score as well. North will be angry he didn't make the most of his time at number 5

I reckon Siddle is a must because he is economical and has the knack to take wickets. Johnson a given, so if we are going in with a spinner it is between Lee and Clark. Hauritz has the 2nd inns to change my opinion but right now I will go with the 4 pacemen I mentioned. Sadly Hilfy is struggling to take wickets so hes out of the picture.
