Or just get a lucky wicket with a short ball... That showed what I know!

lol.....whenever we need something ot happen you need to let us know what you think Cameron because this isn't the first time something completely different gets the result. You seem to be a lucky charm of sorts

Johnson looks like he is giving Carbs some lip every single ball!
I would love it if they turned the stump microphone up!!!

Aus might be in a spot of bother here. Lyon on in the 5th over and Harris seeing the Physio. Not sure Watson will bowl much more in this test. If they are down to 3 and a bit fit bowlers then it could make life very difficult. Clarke will have to bowl Mitch much more and his pace will drop. Also very warm today by the looks of it.

Cook faster than Tendulkar to 8000. He won't be a great of the game though. Overrated.

Harsh.

I agree he may never be considered a great but by the time he finishes he could be the leading run scorer in tests. He isn't pretty but mighty effective.

Nice landmark to get to - 8000 Test runs.
And I suspect that Cook may have played more tests than Sachine to reach that 8000 run landmark.

Agree but Cook has probably batted on more seamer friendly decks than sachin.

Sorry I should add I was being sarcastic. Some people think he's overrated. I don't.

Well Watson is bowling. Be surprised if he gets through many.

I agree. He gives off the impression his body is about to fall apart!

That 4 ball it looked like he was limping. Still looked more threatening than Siddle has in 5 overs. Any point to bowling a foot outside off when you need wickets and its baking hot.
