No, the time wasting was a bit daft but the Australians are playing with a guy who quite clearly slings/chucks the ball.
plus points for England:
the tail wagging massively twice - a new feeling for us.
Collingwood really coming into his own
Flintoff spending some time at the crease - thise thirties will turn into half and full centuries, i feel.
when the pressure came the australian bowlers choked and Ponting's much vaunted cptaincy looked stale and unadventurous
negatives for England:
KP - two stupid decisions from him in both innings
our bowlers - do they really look like taking 20 wickets?
no-one scoring a ton while 4 australians managed, rather easily.
I'm hoping this is a turning point - got out of gaol and now time to knuckel down, re-assess. I truly believe this result hurts the australians almost as much as a loss.
Thursday will be interesting - i hope that Harmison isn't there, though
