Might be time for Finn to have a spell I think.

This is the folly of playing so loosely early.

With a four man attack in the heat, you just have to guts it out then cash in late session two and all session three. It's hardly rocket science.

At least the wicket still has a bit in it

First ball from Finn bounced and seamed quite a lot

Reckon the runs we've seen have simply been the result of good batting/poor bowling

Think this test is starting to show why I've been a big fan of having Tremlett in the side ahead of Finn since the beginning of the series and why I reckon Finn is playing test cricket about a year too early. Finn still doesnt know what kind of bowler he is, hes also getting used to what is a new action and whilst he hasnt been poor, hes just not ready. Not like it matters now of course, because Broad is out and Finn would be next in line anyways but theres a few things that he needs to work out.

WACA is such an insane ground. It's got pace and bounce (or did historically) but FMD you get it wrong and you will got the journey at the most alarming rate. Outfield usually ridiculously quick too.

They keep talking about the amount of runs scored in 3rd man, I am just wondering was 3rd man a popular position in previous decades?

I don't think there's much between all four; Broad, Tremlett, Finn or Bresnan personally.

The perfect formula for good cricket.

Mitch looks shocking against spin, Swann will get him if he bowls an over at him.

Prior doesn't bat at 8 Warney
Warney also suggested that Swann was having difficulties bowling against Hussey, right before he got him. Than he suggested the decision could be not out, because Hussey generally walks.

I still like his commentary though!
