I take it back! Well bowled Bresnan. Although I still think he'd be a good fourth seamer not a third.

Good ball. Clarke has been asking for trouble since the first over with that front pad, and there's the result.

If only it was Clarke!

What a pathetic waste of a review, If I was Clarke/Lehmann I'd be furious with him over that, it was absolutely plumb.

Oh, and good job big Bres, important wicket a couple more of those and you've justified your selection.

[paul_e]

Bresnan clearly bringing control. I really think we've dropped a massive bollock picking him, but hopefully he'll turn it round.

It's a touch early to have typed that after 2 overs.

[Dave Cooper please]

Perfectly balanced but I reckon Swann will have fun with their left-handers after lunch as long as that blow he took on the arm isn't too bad.

The Aussies sent Warner away to Zimbabwe to join up with their 'A' team.....a major success against a Combined Select xi he was out for 9.

Warner out for 11 today - bring him back and get him in the side!!!

He looks ok hopefully.

I'm on bloody fire today aren't I! But in all fairness, Watson and Harris could be twins, while Haddin looks like Bradman reincarnated. Anyone else got good Aussie lookalikes? There are seemingly a set number of faces that Aussies can have. I remember that Damien Martyn and Justin Langer could have been the same person.

Ben Hilfenhaus and Matthew Wade look like twins.

Is it safe to tune back into TMS yet, I believe an axis of evil based around the PM and rosy cheeked shit kickers Keane is present in the commentary box?

[PaulWinch again]

Swann gets Rogers, big wicket.

[Monty]

That's a ridiculous wicket.

[PaulWinch again]

So it sounds! Hughes coming out number 4, that's interesting.

[PaulWinch again]

Watson cost Australia that wicket, if they'd had 2 reviews left they definitely would have reviewed.
