first test second day lunch review

England: strapped a saddle on Australia and rode them over 400.  Bowled too wide to Hughes.

Australia: seemed to lose the plot, and only bowled England out because the number 10 did not respect Hauritz. Hughes is great.

Broad: seemed scared of the pace.

Anderson: did well until he thought he was Brian Lara.

Swann: you have to like this man, great cameo.

Montybot: did enough to annoy Australia a little bit more.

Siddle: rubbish.

Johnson: ok.

Hilfenhaus: serviceable.

Hauritz: treated with no respect at all, but got two wickets.

Hughes: Ugly & jumpy, just the way he always is, timing the ball well and scoring at will.

Katich: clever man, let the young man counter punch while he worked on a novel at the non-strikers.

Anderson: tried every ball he had, a lot of them were rubbish.

Broad: got Hughes off to his flier, kept bowling short and wide.

Swann: Tasty without filling you up.

England might have done well with their tail, but with the ball they gave Australia a lot of hope.

Australia bowled like sea monkeys, but Hughes came out Punching and England had no idea.

    Hughes has the most unelegant technique I have ever seen in a left hander. I thought Ganguly’s techique was a bit iffy, but Hughes can make a clown roll on the floor with laughter. But he scores runs. So did Ganguly. Another dada in the making here?

    I guess there are a lot of differences, but the similarity in fending awkwardly and generally looking a bit foolish did strike me Jrod.
