You guys may disagree but I think Beer deserved a wicket. He's bowled pretty well

I agree. He seems to get a little drift

He just seems to bowl wide of the stumps to right handers and then it turns further away, doesnt seem to attack the stumps much to right handers.
Line looks good to lefties though

Beer deserved a wicket, but I'm sure that Beer would have preferred anyone else but the off-form Colly!
But I guess your first Test wicket is always special!

Would like to see Bell hit his form again - he deserved to bat at 5, especially with Colly on bad form!
The aussies have the balls to move Haddin and Smith around, so no reason why Bell and Colly shouldn't!!

To be fair Beer has played 7 F/C games, so he hasn't mastered his trade yet

that was almost like a sympathy wicket, and colly remembered he was batting for his career only on the walk off!

Jeet Im not saying he is a bad bowler it was just an observation about his bowling.... he tightened it up mostly in those last few balls to bell, but still dropped one short and wide!!

This is getting boring now. I'm fed up of steamrollering these small countries.

We need to be playing tougher teams, like Bangladesh or New Zealand.

The Aussies are where the windies were in the early 90's for me on the downward spiral after dominating world cricket for years let's just hope they don't slip as far best cricket around at the mom is sa vs ind great fast bowling vs great batting steyn against sachin was a joy to watch sachin even hogged the strike so he could face him

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.

After watching Steve Smith "try" to bat and bowl, you gotta feel for Hauritz.

And to think Ponting let Hauritz take a pounding in India and replaced Smith the morning of the 2nd Test in Mohali, to protect him.

Top stuff from Prior. Wouldn't swap him for any other No 7 in the world!
