i don't think Swann's technique is any worse than Hauritz's anyway

DWTA. Swann's definitely the better bat and has more shots, as I said, but Hauritz is superior technically. And this is coming from someone who completely agrees with you about Johnson and Broad.

Johnson and Siddle were always going to be the only two staples.

Hauritz in a getting smacked early-on shocker. (face)

Hope Ponting gives him decent number of overs to bowl in this game, he hasn't played a FC game for a while now, so he would take time to get into some sort of a rhythm.

Really will be interesting to see how Hamilton-Brown can do today. Former England U19 captain, and has had a reasonable start to his career so far.

Australia going in to lunch three overs down on the run-rate even though Hauritz has bowled five. Roll on the four-man pace attack. :)

Sounds a crashingly good sort of a chap: Rory Hamilton-Brown. Eton, Sandhurst & Oxbridge, no doubt.

Re: Hauritz/Swann batting, whilst I've never really seen the former bat in anger, I'd say generally that having more shots is a better bet for lower order players than a solid technique. Hoggard developed a decent technique, but was nigh on shotless and actually regressed once his "shovel to mid-wicket" deserted him.

Guess it's the quick runs v blocking end to play for the proper bat at the other end conundrum.

It probably stems from my general opinion that 90% of how good a technique is is how many runs it yields.

I don't think you do Swann justice there. Sounds like you're talking about Steve Harmison or Makhaya Ntini.

Geez, it's terrible.

He forgot to unhook himself when he was getting someone else on, and now he is talking to someone who he hasn't hooked up. He is talking, and it sounds like there is no answers. Actually, I think he is on the phone to this blind person.

He is making some queer grunting noises.

I lol'd when the blind person called up/came in, he was like "Hello Andy" but his voice seemed like he was...aroused. :laugh:

It's internet commentary only to be fair, think hospital radio standard.

He's actually talking to local radio when he appears to be chatting to himself :laugh:

I can put up with his monotone internet voice but the Sussex commentator has this annoying thing of eating a sweet whilst commentating. Not good.

Bowlers just chipping away. Excited that Siddle is in the wickets; deserves to be the second bowler selected behind Johnson. All this talk of Siddle not making the bowling lineup was simply nonsense. Been supurb over his 7 Test matches.
