I think this pitch has a bit more in it than people are giving it credit for.
The bounce is pretty inconsistent also both sides bowlers have down well with the swing too. Another great day of Ashes cricket. Hog damn!

I diet think England bowled well at all Australia look like a poor county side no better currently.

Lets looks at it wicket by wicket:

Watson - okay, Bressie bowled perfectly to plan but how many times does he have to get out LBW, lose a review and walk off before he thinks about, just possibly, changing his technique?
Rogers - unlucky, but should have hit it for six
Khawaja - out of his depth, awful shot
Hughes - suspect also out of his depth still, despite great knock in last test, awful shot
Clarke - played around a straight one
Smith - ball kicked a bit, but not excessively.
Haddin - WTF? by all means have a go but at least go with the direction of the ball
Agar - ATF Brad?
Siddle - should have left it
Harris - is a number XI.

So at best two three that were not self inflicted.  In contrast, Siddle actually GOT Cook and Trott out, just as Australia had to work for their three early wickets first time round...

not played much cricket and wanted to feel bat on ball.

not great, but understandable.

not what you would expect from a leading international though

Yes mate same. Wow..... Am not entirely surprised but still speechless. Surely one or two can find it in them to stand up and apply themselves each time they bat. The top/middle order I mean can't expect the tail to wag all the time.

Is it my imagination, or is Ryan Harris wearing a blue helmet?

We all know the feeling ourselves, when not in form you chase balls you would usually leave well alone.  Just disappointing from an international number 4 and one as experienced as KP is.  Then again this is KP and he will always be that kind of player!

Chances of being 1-1 at the end of this Test? It's possible, but not probable!
Could be worth a £5 bet though, as the odds would be rather attractive at this stage!

A fool is easily parted from his money.

Australia have no hope of surving, even on this docile 450 par score wicket.

I have never been so embarrassed by an Australian test team in my life.

Pea hearts.

This series is being ruined by video reviews and technology. Well apart from Australia's crap batting. What a joke.
