Bell has to go into survival mode

He needs to see off Johnson otherwise Eng may be bowled out in the next 2-3 overs.

Crazy spell on such a dead track.

No songs about mitch and his mum from the barmy army today you can bet.

Can England save the follow on here?

Johnson Andy for a duck.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

WOW JOhnson

 

[OZGOD]

I don't know if OZ should enforce the follow on. Would be good to get an innings win or close to it and they haven't bowled all that much yet


MJ gets another! Second hatrick chance!!

A very good catch.

 

[Inswinger]

What a spell by Johnson!

Johnson Andy for a duck.

I know some people would say that I just edited it, but I swear I was there few seconds before Andy's stumps.

Ah the joy of a +90mph bowler steaming in!

This reminds me of Waqar and Shoaib.

Johnson is on fire. Eng is getting destroyed so may not be a bad idea to have another go. Or give a break for 30-35 overs and come back.

Fantastic exhibition of express bowling with a great control.

Mitch to get Panesar on the 2nd ball of his next over.

On the other hand you have so much time you could bat till halfway thru the last session and add a quick 100 odd runs, put England out in the field again and keep them thinking before sending them back in again

Can't believe Bell's still there even with his team mates falling around him, petrified of Johnson.

Maybe the guy has changed. Some quality knocks under pressure last ashes too. Maybe finally time to move him to 3 again with Trott out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Siddle back now

Monty looking to resist here

 

[kingusama92]

It's been a while since a fast bowler had a quality opposition shivering because of his pace alone.

Top marks to Johnson.

Brilliant bowling.

And yes Johnno. Come over here I want to boof you

That was really funny. Nothing was said but still Johnson communicated what he wanted to say.

.

Yah, I don't remember when was the last time we had a quality opposition side getting totally owned by one express bowler by sheer pace.

Bell Harris here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Aussies should bat again, Pitch looks very flat, Mitch and the boys needs some rest.

 

[Convict]

As I've said here before I had the opportunity to watch Johnson bowl live for WA against QLD about a month ago. He was fluent and in great touch and DK was coaching him from fine leg and going through every over.
So I though he'd suprise many but did not expect this.

honestly if he keeps this up we're a chance of knocking down South Africa.

Credit has to go to Harris as well. Johnson bowls best when he can bowl with an A grade bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 25 runs

Monty has contributed one run.

 

[Aman]

Rankings are so unclear there is no real number 2 team atm.

1 great team and then some equally average ones with differing flaws.

Who cares about ranking? Just enjoy some good quality express bowling.

What happens when Cummins, Patto and Starc are fit? Siddle will most likely miss out

Given their injury history I don't think it'll be much of a dilemma.

Monty wearing it like a champ.

Monty showing more courage than barbie and anderson

Barbie ran outide off and leg stump got takn out

Jimmy's arms moved but body refused to follow

Cummins is well away and Starc isn't good enough.

But ideally Harris, Pattinson and Johnson in South Africa

I'll take Siddle over those 3 any day.

Harris and Johnson with the new ball, Siddle is the better third choice bowler.

Why not 4 pacers?

Pattinson is better than Sidds.
Sidds is a great workhorse but a bit vanilla and probably not good enough to be first choice and an A grade attack.

We wouldn't have 4 pacers because a 5 man pace attack is a bad idea and Garry complements the attack well.
