Ponting gone, I was just going to say he looked comfortable. Don't think I can claim that one though

That would have been some record, 2 out of 2

Broad looks to have taken huge confidence from his 6 wickets in a losing cause a couple of weeks back.

Game on.

Blimey, Broad is tearing through them.

3 down.

Hussey gone, a man massively out of form

Clarke is a key wicket, he's a thorn in our side. We need to get him early

Rubbish that Broad isn't he?

Interestingly, his Test bowling average is only four runs per wicket higher than Flintoff's and two higher than Anderson's IIRC.

If we get him cheap it will be ours to lose.

Here's the stats for our pacemen this series...

Andrew Flintoff: 7 wickets at 50.85, best of 5/92
Steve Harmison: 2 wickets at 56.50 best of 2/98
James Anderson: 12 wickets at 40.58 best of 5/80
Graham Onions: 10 wickets at 30.30, best of 4/58
Stuart Broad: 15 wickets at 32.21, best of 6/91

Yet Broad is maligned just about everywhere, and Onions is cast aside for Harmison - go figure.

Broad gets Clarke!

Get in there!!
