Cowan needs to make some runs, fuse needs to build a technique, the gcs needs to a acquire a brain

Fixed.

Strange scoreline for Somerset. Extra's was the forth top score. Sids seems to be struggling on tour so far & is being eclipsed by all the other quicks. Batting lineup for the first test will be interesting. Will they risk Warner who has no form & has'nt played any warmups? I don't think Usman has done enough to get a run. I'm pretty sure Moo will open with Twatto. Haddit will keep & apart from Clarke, the lineup is open.

Cowan out already. So maybe Rogers, Watson and Khawaja as top 3?

Will Boof give the black qunt a go?

Aust scoring at a run a ball!

56 in boundaries so far out of 64 off the bat.

Watson
Rogers
Khawaja
Smith
Clarke
Haddin
Faulkner
Pattinson
Siddle
Starc
Harris
Lyon

That's 12...

Yes.

UK out for a pretty 27.

Agreed Nath. I think he has shown the ability to make decent 30s but then loses concentration.

same old Watson failure in the 90s

[sigh] Still, better than his normal pretty 30.

I'd be very happy for him to fail 3 or 4 times in the 90s during the series about to start.

Indeed, L.

Is this where the England hierarchy put a call into the Zumerset committee and ask for pies to bowled at Con for the next 2 hours, to ensure his place in the T1 Aus side?

Last over before lunch too.

Looks like the poms have presented us with one of the snackiest attacks ever to feast on to lull us into a false sense of security!

Clarke out for 45.

Hughes pillaging the buffet/smorgasbord.

And (FAC?) Haddin has stepped up to the plate and pepsimaxxed it twice already.

I've read some dodgy old comments under articles on Cricinfo - not sure if this takes the biscuit, but it's still smelling heavily of citrus:

Shane Watson , Mitchell Marsh , James Faulkner , Steve Smith , Mitchell Marsh , Mitchell Jhonson , David Warner ..... All these guys did well in this years IPL , so its obvious something somewhere was wrong in OZ cricket which the players were unable to handle . Good Luck to Darren Lehman n team

Yeah, it's a comedy routine at times.
