DID I MISS A SEXY JIMMY SPELL LAST NIGHT I SAW HE TOOK SIX DID HE SWING IT LOTS? If so dammit I need to watch highlights :(

Yes PB he swung it both ways and showed what he could do in favourable conditions. Raises the question as to why slow dry pitches were ordered for the first 2 tests when you have undoubtedly the best swing bowler in the world in your side with very strong support from Broad.

Again Australia's lack of common sense batting against a swinging ball was exposed.  Rogers showed if you play each ball on merit you can survive.  Too often batsmen were indecisive in their decision as evidenced by 2 edges that clipped a bat trying to withdraw, So basically summary of Australia's innings good bowling aided by some poor and undisciplined batting.

Australia's bowlers suffered by trying too hard which is often the case when defending a small score rather than bowl as if we had scored 300, This led to a lot of balls being over pitched easy pickings for batsman as evidenced by the 20 fours so far hit.  This was interspersed by some good bowling as well especially Hazelwood. Clarkes field placings at times left a bit to be desired. Let us up that England are moped up quickly for around 250.

One question I have is when are umpires really going to clamp down on Anderson for following through down the pitch as his second step is virtually in line with stumps.
