yeah need wickets to make it work. wood was very good at the discipline bowling and showed a bit of pace as well. unlucky for him. finn can do a job. both men in should be quite eager to play.
i would imagine the wicket unless its as slow as F will be good for both sets of chuckers. Bell... i dunno.... just don't see it.
Wrong decision. I'd have bowled. The pitch is set up for us. Anderson swinging it like a ****ing good 'un
The expert view on the wicket was that it'll quicken up Day 2, so don't get the flags out just yet......
Bad decision.. (for now), should have bowled.. another wicket before the first hour is out and the Aussies will be up **** creak without a paddle! Esp. if that wicket is Rodgers! The rest of that middle order doesn't scare me..
Quick wickets are nice to bat on.. only issue is if its quick and moving in the air and seem.. But, by then, movement off the seem should be less and what ever dampness there is in the pitch should have gone! Weather looks dry for most of the test so should be a batting paradise come day 2 and 3.
