Lunch on the first day and the big guns are back in the shed, this is unreal! When the Aussies won the toss I thought we were going to watch them bat for the next two days, the conditions are meaningless, our bowlers are genuinely agressive and have shown that they are really up for it. Please let us bat properly after this.
This feels like the England we have come to recognise, not all bowling well, but hurting people and getting them out - I love it!
Gilchrist is still there and we have to get at him and unsettle him quickly. Well, I said it would be good for England to bat on the first day, I wasn't thinking it would be after getting 10 Aussie wickets!!
[I already regret typing that, the Aussies have a way of making you eat your words, ah well, it is a way better start than I had hoped, lets enjoy it]

Yep, I enjoyed it for about 20 minutes, great!
Have to agree, the pace at which the Australians score will be the difference in this match. England have imporved in this area but probably cant match the Aussies. England too 48 overs to get 155 than the Aussies took to get 190. Which is why England lost the day despite winning 2 of the 3 sessions. Some maidens are required by the England bowlers as well as wickets I think.
