Ashes Reflections ...

Jimmy looks so tired because after bowling 30 overs in the first innings he's had about 3 hours rest before having to strap on the pads and then 20 minutes later he's bowling again.

If we could bat for more than half a day he'd be fine. England actually bowled Aus out relatively cheaply in the first innings at the Gabba, and but for dropped catches would have done so on a flattie at Adelaide.

Its the batsmen not the bowlers that is the problem.
