We started well, haven't been able to back it up in the 2nd session so far.
Yeah...only cost 134 runs..well done Brad. 7-340 is Ok in the end, need to skittle the tail rather quickly though.
That wasn't a pitch either, it was a cold bread pudding. Balls bouncing twice to the keeper in the first over of a test match. Bodes well for no bowler.

Bowling was very inconsistent.... Jaffas mixed with overpitched trash. Awful pitch for our pacemen, classic home team manipulation.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

It's just not good enough Test Match bowling from the leftys....as usual from Starc. Hazelwood bowled well. Trouble is, Starc always seems to bowl just enough wicket takers to get him a couple of ......and a whole lot of garbage with no pressure on for the rest of it. Honestly, I'd prefer Sidds & Hazelwood in England. The pitches are not going to suit Johnson at all, deliberately of course, but you can't afford to have both he & Starc in the same side.
I hope Cummings gets a run in one of the Tests....although if he does it will be if we are well under the pump & 1 or tests down !

I watched till after lunch, didn't think we bowled well, but apart from Root they didn't bat very well either. If Gary Ballance is #3 we don't have too much to worry about.
Reckon we will post a big score and skittle the poms in the 2nd innings.

Particularly on pitches like that :
Starc and Johnson are wicket takers but they are expensive and not suited to pitches that take the pace out of the ball. Siddle tying up one end would put more pressure on the batsmen.

Englands tail is flogging our bowling...playing Ali at No 8 has really messed with our bowlers, he is an opener by trade and we just seemed to have bowled at him like a tailender and its really cost us. Hope playing eight batsman cost England though when they have to bowl as Ali is just a part timer and should be easy pickings on this wicket.

If we lose this test Haddin should be dropped.
