Re: The Ashes - First Test @ Trent Bridge

Smart from England....our tail bat ok vs the pacemen, Starc, Siddle, Pattinson are no mugs vs pace but had no idea vs Swann, wonder what Lyon is thinking as Swann is really turning them and on the second day...going to be a bitch to bat against him in the 2dn innings.
Hughes showing some character and maybe he can do a Mike Hussey and hold down the No 6 spot.....still remain unconvinced about Smith., still has a bit of a slogger approach and while he is hitting them he looks ok but always looks likely to get out next ball.
Hoping Agar can get some turn when he bowls and get a few wickets...
Smith is a 20/20 player only, his technique and temperament suits that form of the game, not a Test cricketer at all.
