Just to add.. I don't think playing Anderson is the wrong decision, but playing Giles is.. massively.
Im your mate Puddles
im around! Just at work where im snowed under with the paperwork!But i have the radio broadcast from aussie chirping away keeping me close to the action.
very hard to concentrate, hope i dont send the wrong person off for surgery lol!
Id love to be at home watching this roll on 5pm! (2 hours to go)
Anderson to me is like Franklin for NZ, can swing it on any given day, hasnt got great control though, but at least Anderson has pace, and yes, he's a lot better than Franklin. I still would have played Lewis and Monty i think they are two very good English bowlers. I thought Giles did enough to stick around, but i would have liked to have seen Monty get a game. he is wasted talent sitting on the bench.

oh right sorry i must have missed that while i was in a quick meeting
Good controlled bowling by Australia. That really is a big difference from last year. We could rely on Kasper and Dizzy then to serve up long hops and half volleys but now Stuart Clarke has bowled excellently and supported the other bowlers really well.
Anyhow I'm off to bed; I can see England losing wickets through getting frustrated although I think that this pitch really does suit Bell as he is an accumulator and won't get too worried about the runs not coming straight away.
Edit - Stuart Clarke really is a much better bowler than the jokers you had last summer. Really hurting England.

Interesting analysis of Clark just then by Richie. It would explain why Strauss mistimed his shot. He is getting a small bit of out swing which Lee couldn't get.
Hes got Cook now, wow amazing stuff so much for the McGrath comparisons Clark is showing hes different.

i think McGrath would be as much a handful if he was at 100% fitness, but boy im really impressed with Clark, hes got a ave under18 for tests wickets!

Im a kiwi mate we'd pay big time for him lol. but yeah hes been coming up thru the grades for Aussie for some time. Wait til you see Tait and Johnson performing, i watched them play some overseas tours and oy noone has to worry too much about the depth of Aussie bowling.

I know you're a Kiwi. It was more a general question aimed at Aussies.

i really have lost a bit of faith in Cricinfo these days, for current cricket updates, they still are not showing the second wicket on there yet.
oh i see now im a bit of a forum noobie, i often only post a little in the fantasy forums. Your quoting me threw me off 
I am listening to Warne bowling to Bell. I thought Australia might get Warne at Bell early. And it sounds like the work Warne put in with Jenner to get some extra tweak going has paid off, with the commentators pointing out he seems to be getting good turn already.

Warne has found himself a new bunny Geez Bell is looking all at sea against Warne especially when he stays in his crease. He let the slider go and it missed the stumps by millimeters, got done a few times with a normal leg spin.

No aggression at all from England.
You have to attack Warne and we see none of it.
If it continues Warne will get wickets.
Englands preperation for this test is the worst I have ever seen.
Its just pathetic.
