Is there a fast, bouncy track in Australia? If there is England have yet to see it as we get yet another slow track. In conditions that would have been ideal for a Hoggard/Lewis new ball spell England win the toss and bat, but struggle against tight bowling in seamer friendly overcast conditions. At 101 for 2 with Collingwood looking to attack against Warne it looked OK but in the space of two overs things took a trun decidedly for the worst with Collingwood falling to Lee, well caught at slip by Ponting for 28 and Strauss bowled by Warne for 50 to give him his 700th. Crown and Aussie commentators go wild and Warne celebrates a tremendous achievement. What though is that on his chin?
Hopes rest with Flintoff and Pieterson......................
What damage though might Jon Lewis in tandem with Hoggard have done with the new ball?- plenty would be my guess with Clarke and Symonds strangling England after an early Lee breakthrough.
