That was a typically English start.

Day one and oh dear.
Peter Siddell has a birthday party and not the start England were looking for. Round one to the wounded beast. Hopefully England can improve tomorrow. |

End of Day 1
England 260 Aust 0/25 That was a pretty exciting day's cricket, the ball swung and moved off the seam all day from what I could see. Siddle gets his hat-trick by pitching the ball up rather than banging it in short. Great stuff, good on him. Johnson was pedestrian and needs to improve. Very poor dropped catch by Haddin, Test keepers have to do better than that. Bell looks in pretty good shape to me and he's not going to be tormented by Warne this time. Our reserve keeper, Tim Paine, has had a finger broken in a meaningless 20/20 game a few days ago. Well done, Cricket Australia. So we wait and see how 260 looks when Australia bats tomorrow. |

Catches win matches. An old cliche admittedly. But it's quite true also.

I try hard to be an English cricket supporter, but they do make it very difficult. When it comes to the crunch, these days, sadly, they seem to be very reliable. You can rely on them to let you down. I do hope that I am proved wrong.
One thought though. Maybe if they practiced their batting, rather than how to imitate a sprinkler, the standard would improve. |

This was an excellent day for Australia and a rotten day for England, but Australia dropped catches and made mistakes. They have not won this match yet by a long chalk and the England bowlers actually have a fine chance to bowl England right back into the game. It will require skill, commitment and character, because Australia do have the whip hand. But nothing has been settled so far. Good bowling will still have a say and if the right pressure is applied to the Australian batters, I predict some of them will also fail, though probably not Ponting, who is very very cool. Day Two will tell us if England have the character it takes to get back into this game, or not really...

If you dont like the game, fair enough. But dont make your silly sarky comments.
