Big match for Kerrigan.  Got wickets in County Cricket. But the two times I heard of him he got plastered by KP and Shane Watson.  Getting smashed around by KP i can live with.  But getting slapped about by Shane Watson!!!!!!

Aus win toss and bat. The negates Englands 2 spinner option to an extent.

I like 2 spinners, and like 5 bowlers...unfortunately Kerrigan doesn't bat, because if he could then it would improve his chances. Another feeling pissed off today is probably Gary Keedy, who's been the best slow left armer in England for years and never had a sniff of a cap.

Is that Gary Keedy who was replaced in the Lacashire side by Kerrigan two seasons ago and was therefore released, went to Surrey and was kept out of the team by Gareth Batty? This season- 5 matches, 13 wickets at 48

Keedy was decent but his time has come and gone. His best chance was when Udal went to India years ago.

I met Gary Keedy last night.  He was at the Nine Inch Nails gig I was working.  To be fair his time is gone.  He's 39.

I know his time has gone, but reckon he was very unlucky not to have got at least a tour of the sub continent, when the likes of Martyn Ball and Richard Dawson were getting picked.

Unbelievable. Even by your standards.

Decent start by England.  Swann coming into the attack.

Will be imperitive Kerrigan and Woakes keep the pressure up and dont serve up any junk!!

[sonicyouth]

Darren Lehmann has accused Stuart Broad of "blatant cheating" on Australian radio and has urged Oz fans to abuse him at the match. Sour grapes? Whether there is any truth in it or not, the instruction to their fans is childish, to say the least.

I refer you to Herthab's last post.

I hope Woakes bats like Bradman because he is currently bowling like Mark Ealham!

More pies than in the shop window at Greggs

Hmm, Kerrigan looks very nervous, slower than usual and not because of flight...2 overs for 28

[DMR]

Absolute dump

Durham all over again.

Aus batting first and will rack up 500+ and leave England fighting to avoid defeat. Broad and Anderson are going to be fucking knackered when this test is done.

I would further discuss selection but I would go angry!

If you want to save posting it, I'm down for the Crewe game.

Sorted.

Durham? I think perhaps, Old Trafford. Long way to go yet. The toss was a big win too.

Sorted.

Cheers.
