The idea that one five wicket haul discounts all technical analyses is the worst habit in cricket watching circles. It basically nullifies any need to watch the cricket.

This isn't even getting to your idea that Sehwag just scores runs "somehow" without there being a reason for it, which is absurd.
That was just an example, don't fret about it because I didn't give it any thought and it wasn't meant to suggest anything.

I watched Swann bowl that spell btw, he drew the bat away from the pad constantly and had the NZ batsmen poking at him, often beating or find both edges of the bat. This suggests to me he is capable of making use of Left armers footmarks. Remembering that Lyon has never taken a 10 wicket haul in tests either, I value technique criticism but I value performance more.

Its very slow so batters who attack can get into strife as KP has shown. Aussies would rightly be happy with around 350 but more is a good score.
Pitch appears fairly easy to defend on but hard to attack on, 350 probably is about par

I reckon John Buchanan used to hide behind a painting with the eyes removed so he could spy on the players.

I swear Harris sounds so noisy in the stump mics. It's like you can hear the lack of cartilage.
