Doherty is getting a few to turn and bounce. Swann is coming into this game big-time.
Siddle is still a worry, his consistency is a big issue, he produced that epic spell but then seems to struggle. This is the sort of pitch which he has been hyped up to be very good on. He could learn a thing or two from Harris who is the better version of him.
Bollinger looks to be struggling with match fitness, he is certainly not a 130km/h bowler. Good on KP for noticing this and taking it to him and possible hitting him out of the Ashes.
It wasn't intelligent bowling from Siddle. He doesn't really an action and the pace to bowling short consistently, certainly not on this pitch.
Harris looks to be struggling. Is his fitness a major concern?
He is capable of bowling good short stuff, his first ball today showed that. His next two balls then showed his lack of intelligence. His back is the reason for his struggle in pace, he is capable for bowling 150km/h spells but doesn't seem confident going to that level.
