Our bowlers are looking good. Big concern for me is the batting as ever.
Yeah but I think if Cook gets a few more runs and sorts his footwork out we will be fine. |

Looks like even the second string bowlers have hit the ground running down under! This is almost starting to get worrying!
You know things are looking good, when Monty Panesar take a diving one handed blinder!

Shahzad looked good last night.
It looks like it's the opposite to 4 years ago. 4 years ago we didn't know our best 11 due to injuries and form, and the Aussies had the settled side...this time it's the other way round. England know their team for the 1st Test, barring a sudden injury, but the Aussies don't know even which spinner they'll play. Ponting has been sent to play his first Sheffield Shield games for 2 years, along with a number of batsmen...and they keep on failing.
It's amazing that the Aussies are still mentioning about the Kookaburra ball. Well just about every time England go away, they have to play with that ball so they are used to it, as most of the Test playing nations use it.
Anyway, after watching some of it last night, isn't it pathetic hearing Mark Nicholas trying to sound more 'Aussie' on commentating.

We're certainly playing well at the moment in the warm ups. At the moment we're looking like the side who are favourites and are more settled and confident. The Aussies' doubts remind me of the England days of the 90s and early noughties when the Aussies used to come here in confident and bullish mood whilst we shat ourselves and wondered what team we would play. Seems the power may have shifted now.

Another good day today. Bell and Collingwood look good and we've got a nice lead building up.

I'm tremendously excited about this Ashes series.Which worries me.
I don't recall going into a series against the convicts when we appear to be the stronger,more confident and settled side.It feels unnerving to be honest.
Still got my jar of coffee ready to go for the early mornings,hope i have a reason to be getting up!
