    I wonder what the TV ratings are like locally? I personally have watched maybe 30 minutes total, I just can't get into it.

    Found some ratings for last week. Doesn't include Foxtel, but still it's not great

    Australia lost a lot of wickets without adding many runs.

    yep

    goes to show how rubbish oz pitches are though, if straya wants to win the next ashes, they should spend a bit more time over there learning to play on something that isn't a road

    great spell of bowling, up there with southee's 7 for against england. pure pace is terrifying but swing is even moreso

    on another note, i went to south africa v west indies on friday and FMD, de villiers is an absolute weapon. forces bowlers to pretty much throw down what he wants. amazing.

    can block out a day to draw a test match then go out and do something like that. ooooooooooooooooooooh weeeeeee

    Not so much the pitches but the selections in junior teams and then into senior rep teams that favour blokes with good eyes and hitters like Warner Smith Phil Hughes
    Over blokes with techniques to deal with swing and seam and less favourable batting conditions

    And big ass bats, how some of these guys get better averages than Chappell, Richards, Javed et al is a bloody crime.

    Maxwell stepping up in the big matches again. Always count on him when it matters.

    Poor old watto missed the opportunity tonight.

    Does clarke play for the team or himself? Genuine question. He needs to show he can be relied upon, yet he doesn't look like he'll bat.

    It is a team game and at the time tactic wise it makes sense to send Maxwell and co in to pinch hit with the score wickets in hand etc. Different type of players and although Clarke is no mug Maxwell teeing off bumps the score up at a better rate than Clarke would have.

    At present Maxwell 81no off 34 balls Clarke don't get a strike rate up like that in his dreams
