Uneven bounce was the cause of a lot of the batsmen's problems today ... that just shouldn't happen on a first day test pitch. Looks like the match could be over by lunch on Saturday ... surely not what any fan wants in the first test of an ashes series.

Warne's warm up consists of turning on his pdl and flexing and stretching his texting muscles.

I'm so angry at Giles for getting out the way he did. He had a couple of balls to face, he must have known Lee was going to pepper him into getting caught. All he had to do was step way and leave those bouncers, but no, he has to play a shot (if that's what you call it) to them. Idiot. Utter idiot, I was literaly screaming at him after the first couple. Sigh, and why didn't Pietersen come down the wicket and havea word with him? Shambles,

Kevin probably thought an experienced campaigner like Gilo knew what he was doing..?
Don't worry, the South African will save your asses 😛

How is Warne spinning the ball on a seamer???

Pietersen's going mad, 14 off three balls for his 50! Hitting two sixes and a four off McGrath is something special 🙂

Pietersen is smacking Glenn the Great around the park.

This is the way to play him.
Pollock and McGrath both live on building pressure and batsmen trying to defend against them.
Once a batsman starts playing very aggressive they both can lose the plot easily.

He's not a loser, he is a great bowler.
