I just don't think he'll have any sort of consistent success in Australian conditions. He might go well in one or two games, but I'd be surprised if he averaged under 30 over the series.Nnanden said:
Anyway, seems like a solid recovery from Lehmann and Borgas. Hoping Panesar stays wicketless.

The local council down this way were planning to erect a life size bronze statue of Ponting. The South Australians should look into building a 30 foot tall Lehmann, they would be rooted without him.

Lehmann's such a good player it's just ridiculous. Too bad we'll never know what could have been with his test career.

Lehmann run out for 99.

Monty got Borgas (caught cook for 73). Monty now has 1-52 off 17 overs.
Gillespie now in to hit a 50

Panesar also had Lehmann dropped when Lehmann was on about 72.aussie tragic said:

Tait picks up Strauss with an in-swinging yorker. Tait couldn't ask for a better time to take a bag of wickets.
This is what makes Tait so interesting:
Over 0.1: Tait to Strauss, (wide) FOUR, way wide outside off, slips wanted nothing to do with it
Over 0.2: Tait to Strauss, OUT! Yorker-length delivery, swinging into Strauss from outside leg, it takes him on the foot in front of leg and middle, huge appeal and umpire Davis raises the finger!

Good move by Lehman in declaring at 7-247 so that the English can't get any cheap wkts to boost their figures 
Can't see or hear the game, but Eng must be happy with the figures of Hoggy, Jimmy, Freddie and Monty (Mahmood figures are crap as expected).
EDIT: Eng 1-5 and "Seven slips, a gully and a square leg in place for Hoggard"

Cooked dropped off the bowling of Tait.
Over 2.2: Tait to Cook, no run, dropped! Cook slashes outside off, gets a thick edge and Lehmann puts it down, albeit a highly tough chance low to the ground, at gully. Cook 3*, England 1-10.

Is Cook capable of scoring good looking runs? The few times I've seen him bat or read about his innings he always gives a few chances at the start of his innings and often doesn't look comfortable. I know Pietersen does the same thing but it's different in a sense because with the way KP plays he looks to dominate and take risks and will give the odd chance. From what I can gather it's not like that with Cook, he just doesn't look comfortable.

It's OK so long as Hoggard doesn't hang around tomorrow. I think it was more about not sending Bell in a no-win situation, especially after his blob against NSW.BoyBrumby said:WTF are we sending a nightwatchman in for a tour game? Has it even got FC status?
Fred seems slightly too hung up on results to the detriment of playing chaps back into form judging by this & Colly bowling his full quota in the PM's XI thrash with Monster only getting 3.

TBH I'd imagine that in these warm-up games captains' hands are tied to a fair extent because the Coach will surely tell them who and want he wants to see. Just my guess though.BoyBrumby said:WTF are we sending a nightwatchman in for a tour game? Has it even got FC status?

If Watson is ruled out of the first test i think they should pick Lehman. He is handy to bwol a few overs if the pitch starts turning abit too.
