It doesn't look a bad pitch, the aussies have been careless. Although the bounce looks a bit dodgy batting last.

They wanted to stamp their authority on the first day on the series and it has backfired.

I hope we can hit them hard,patiently and repetitively over the next two days.

Merv Hughes says with Gilchrist and Katich at the pitch Oz looked like making 500.
Laughable 'objectivity'!

Merv Hughes always did have a laughable idea of the realism of live cricket

Rubbish! Thorpe is a notorious fluffer of the catch.
I'm surprised Pietersen dropped two though, usually he's good.

While we're on the subkect I would like to go on record as saying I would have chosen Thorpe instead of Pietersen.

Me too, but not for his fielding.
