Haddin's in touch? Didn't he get 10 from 35 balls today?

Good to see the Aussies setting the bar nice and low.:happy:
Strauss is in good nick apparently.. How did he get on today?

Sydney was greenest I've seen it tbh today.. Wish I'd been out there.. 20 wickets in a day!!

Like watching England following on and trying to save a match :ph34r:

He got out playing a dip**** shot, no bones about it.:dry:

Can't help but remember the last time one of these two sides were 200+ short was Australia at Lord's...

Strauss is in good nick Burge...gave us wicket away because Monty needed time in the middle

Given that Australia's finest are incapable of getting Monty out, I fully expect to awake to some special numbers in the morning

Or maybe I'll be the next injury reported when Burgey gets a hit put out on me for my posting in this forum :ph34r:

He was in good nick four years ago too. Look ****, our finest weren't in Hobart yesterday, they were either bowling elsewhere or having a spell (not an England off the field for 10 minutes to be coached spell, but a proper rest).

Your proper agony starts next week. Sitting up all night - FMD, you'll be wanting to get back to bed by lunch day one.

Do we really?
I think Australia's Test-class batting depth is probably at its lowest point for about fifteen years at the moment. Khawaja aside, all the batsmen in the country who I'd back to average 40 in Tests in the short term are either in the team already, have been blacklisted by the selectors or are in poor form.
Agree to a certain extent, but still things aren't that bad, since flat decks and **** bowling attacks are a norm these days at the international level, therefore the younger batsmen are unlikely to find it that difficult.

These are batsmen I expect to average 40 plus if given a decent run at the test level.

Just read that Ronny McDonald broke his hand, kind of sad for him as any chance he had to sneak into the Ashes squad for the 2nd test could be all but gone.

Half those guys can't even average 40 at Shield level consistently.

Goes without saying that Paine will be out a while if his finger is as bad as it looked last night. Nasty blow there. Haddin better stay fit then.

Didn't see it, was the injury that bad i.e. enough to keep him out of a game? Hard enough being a 'keeper and obviously only one spot in a team available, always looked at them like this guy;

"It's just a flesh wound..."

Looked like the proximal knuckle of his index finger, looked pretty ugly mate, tbh.
