I wonder how Mitchell Johnson will bowl tomorrow. He's not played since the S.C.G. Test snd it's no secret Mitch takes time to get back into the groove.

That said he loves the WACA(albeit his ODI record there isn't that great) and the Poms are scared of him. Would be nice to see some 150kph stuff after the dead pitches in the Tests stifled him somewhat.

On the one hand he's probably going to get a quick deck and ought to take some wickets, on the other hand he might be a bit rusty. Would Australia use this match as his first game back and not back the guys who have done the job so far? Time isn't on his side, 33 now, how long can he keep bowling 150kph is an interesting question. Most of the current ODI team haven't faced him very often - only Bell, Anderson, Broad really - maybe Morgan and Bop in ODI.

Johnson's not really played that much cricket for a 33 year old. Didn't he have multiple back injuries in his early 20s? He's physically very fit, wouldn't be surprised to see him play another 2-3 years pace might dip a bit but I can't see him dropping below mid 140s.

Don't forget he was in and out of the team in 2010/11. What with him bowling to the left, and to the right, and his bowling being (No Swearing Please).

Ah memories.

Australia recovered from 4/60 to post 8/278. Glenn Maxwell scored 95(it's the 8/9th time in his state/international/IPL career he's been out in the 90s. He really loves the 90s) Mitchell Marsh 60 and James Faulkner smashed an unbeaten 50 off 25 balls.

Maxwell and Marsh put on 141 to build the platform. Whilst England's decision to feed Faulkner with short, medium paced half trackers, was strange.

I thought England had it under control but Aussie team has amazing batting depth. I think England can match the Aussie batting if the openers have a good start. A fighting performance by England will do wonders for the team spirit. They got the talent and some confidence will take them places.

Moeen is starting.

Death bowling left much to be desired. Can't bowl like that to team like Aus (for that matter Saffers or Kiwi - they would go to town).

Can't ble bell too much for that

Good ball very good catch

Sometimes you just have to say well bowled and walk off

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Not too sure that was out personally. From the right camera it looked on the line zoomed in and from the left the camera looked a slightly different angle.

Seemed like JT was having problem timing the ball. He had one hand off the bat when dismissed.
