No surprise Mitch bowls a few short ones, gets the play and miss and then gets the wicket

Stick to being agressive Mitch it's what the Aussie public wants

Gets Kohli in the helmet first ball

Interesting seeing Clarke going up to Mitch after that ball

That has shaken Mitch up

No surprise Mitch doesn't follow the short one which hit Kohli with another short one

The legacy of Hughes will live forever in Aussie cricket imho

Harris and Johnson.

(Makes Johnson even more impressive given he has 270 wickets at that rate and also bowled pies for half his career haha)

Yeah just goes to show how effective Johnson has been when in form and bowling well after serving up some meat pies in the past. His bowling average at around 27 now looks alot better than when it was around the 30+ mark.

Yeah, not to mention the apple pies he's bowled half his career too.

At times they came with a real nice creamy custard

It will take time to get back to being comfortable with the short stuff again. Can't be rushed

Agree

You could tell by there reaction they are not ready yet

Haven't been watching today but has Siddle looked threatening at all? A lucky Andrew Bichel is Siddle.

I reckon 40% of his balls were on the pads

Agree, with your Bichel comparison

I reckon if you were a psychologist this would be considered a text reaction to the Hughes tragedy by the Aussies

With the bat they looked inspired, emotional and batting with a care free attitude

In the field there is no aggression with the ball or fielders and they look tired and flat.

A couple of days in the field is the last thing our guys need, for there sake I hope they can jag a few wickets

Or they're just a little rudderless with their inspirational skipper in the infirmary.

Well bowled Nathan Lyon

Has bowled extremely well today, personally thought he would have struggled but he has been magnificant

stan · Post by **stan** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 2:31 pm

Big wicket by Lyon. I rate Pujara as there best bat. He is very solid.

He is the worse first over bowler I have ever seen

Take note of Siddles first over of a spell, it's as if he doesn't warmup or he doesn't realise his going to bowl that over

So far this summer his

0/11 (1) in his first over of spells

Now 0/15 (2 overs)

think there is going to be alot of runs scored this series without a large number of wickets.

If India go in 3 down tonight at stumps unless something dramatic occurs reckon it would be odds on for a draw

Depends what attitude Johnson bowls with

Bowled 5-6 short balls today and nearly every single one caused trouble including being the direct downfall to a wicket

If Johnson bowls with his usual aggression we will clean these blokes up on the bouncy wickets

whufc · Post by **whufc** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 4:27 pm

Lyon with another wicket

Has been a class act today

Ripping nut that and the one prior.
