No farking way. He will get the crap bounced out of him. I'd prefer Ferguson.

by lardbucket Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:30

I'd prefer Butterworth ... you may have heard of him

by JGK Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:38

His reputation was made by Huaritz.

Phews goes for 81.

What a catch that was by Strauss.

by Henry Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:44

Hughes looked more solid in this innings. The pitch has flattened out a lot though, and there's no real quick bowler to bombard his ribs.

by Gary 111 Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:52

Looked a little high to me.

by Gary 111 Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:54

Beauty! Tremlett gives Smith's hopes a dash for next week....

by Henry Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:57

Tremlett for Finn, perhaps? Or....Tremlett for Anderson?

by JGK Sat 20 Nov 2010, 00:57

We suckity suck.

Had to laugh at Tiny Grigg on Finn: "At least, unlike Harmison, he's not a big sook".

by JKLever Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:05

Tremors!!!

Couldn't have gone much better for England this warm up. All the bowlers have looked like they could step up to the plate if asked.

Just wished Monty would look a bit more threatening.

by Henry Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:08

I reckon at this stage Tremlett would be a more consistent option for Brisbane than Finn. He's more the finished article. They'll still probably go with finn, though.

by JKLever Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:09

Tremlett certainly back in the reckoning as far as England are concerned. Probably knee-jerking but wouldn't mind if the green Finn goes down with a temperature on the morning of the 1st test

by JKLever Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:10

Ah, same thoughts. Wouldn't be surprised if Tremlett is in by the 2nd test however, guess it depends on if we turn up or not at the Gabba.

by Jontyh Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:11

And what's with KP's spiv tash???

Is he doing "Movember"

by JGK Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:14

It's good to hear Peter Newlinds commentating on the radio on this game. He used to post on the ABC Forum.

He's the "containing" bowler now.

On the other hand, if he put on that leftover Hallowe'en mask ....

by JGK Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:16

Monte's in the team for his catching now isn't he?

by PeterCS Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:17

Tremlett really showing some form?

Or is he knocking down tossers?

Not going to happen. Was a lousy choice for the tour - his game hasn't improved in the slightest (well, not his bowling anyway) since he was dropped. In fact he's been "going back to basics" since England's attempts at teaching him a few more advanced bowling moves met with a stubborn beard of resistance.

Trouble is, the "basics" he's gone back to are those of a limited bowler who doesn't spin the ball.

Yay.

by Henry Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:18

I can't decide if Monty isn't ripping it as much these days or if it's just the pitch.

Bowled a really good spell, the ball to get Smith was a beauty, cut back a mile to hit off stump.

He also smacked O'Keefe on the helmet and surprised Hughes with a bit of extra bounce.

by PeterCS Sat 20 Nov 2010, 01:25

Get him in the Test XI
