What's the deal with the two day game? One innings each or can we get a quick 200 odd and declare so we can have a proper bowling workout.

Watson is going nuts. 71 off 68 balls, 11 fours and 1 six.
Continuing on some fantastic form.

Watson is making the opening spot his own. Katich's form is starting to be a bit of a worry. Ponting again not converting his start, good time for Hussey to get more time in the middle.
Watson gone for 95.
Poor bastard, playing so well but can't get to those three figures.

Hes getting closer, 5th Test I can see the 100 coming. Hussey again makes a 60 odd then gets out, same old problems.
4 catches for Carbs? Aussies must have been going for it.

not a 100 but 60 is a decent score IMO

Good for him. Sadly, five doesn't fit into four, and he is the sixth best bowler in the team at the moment anyway. I don't reckon that last test could have turned out much better.
for those who are interested these are the bowling figures at lunch

Watson concedes his first run in his fifth over. Is it tight, accurate bowling, or wide bowling that the English batsmen are just happy to let go?

Haha, they lasted long didn't they. :p
Lee, don't even bother mate, your not playing until the ODIs.
Hauritz, I hope you break your spinning finger so Clark is a shoo in. Katich failing yet again is a bit of a worry, hasn't had a great tour, much like his '05 campaign.
Would want Lee in there if he didn't have such a poor record in England. If he played in the 5th and bowled too short we'd get murdered and we just can't afford that. Truth is ever bowler has a case to play, but the only change I'd make is Hauritz for Siddle, maybe.

Katich has flown under the radar this series hasn't he.

Better then Bell and Bopara combined. My mistake, apology granted.
