Batting looks fine IMO, I expect Hughes and North to do well on their debuts.

The bowling is the main weakness - 5 seamers and not a lot of experience.

North is a decent alrounder, his bowling could be useful for Aus.

182-4

Strauss being put down twice - one a regulation slip catch by Chris Gayle - not helping the West Indies.
And Graeme Smith shelled a doozy earlier on today off Ponting.



A maximum from Cook! There's a collectors item

Aus are 411-7 with North 116no, pretty good recovery after being 38-3.

Paul Harris has had a stinker of a decision there, but their referrals are all gone. South Africa in big bother.

So are the Aussies maybe not as bad as we thought (hoped?)

Then again maybe SA can chase 400+ again!

As an england fan, i really like peter siddle.

Enthusiastic, and from what i have seen of him, bowls a tidy line and length and doesnt give much away.

Hope he has a 'mare in the ashes though!
