Australia vs england day one

Yes, stuart broad has been the main event taking his third and fourth wickets right after lunch, but he has not been alone in producing the goods when it matters.

James anderson has been quite exceptional giving the australian batsmen nothing.

He has had the ball on a bit of string and the sole wicket of george bailey is the very least he deserved.

Great to see chris tremlett get in on the wickets too.

His lifter to take steve smith’s edge was a very good piece of bowling coming as it did after being pulled to the mid wicket fence.

Tremlett played his part in the morning by helping to dry up the runs before shane watson fell so he is playing his role pretty well so far.

The aussie batsmen should feel ashamed of themselves though.

England have been accurate and patient, but they haven’t done anything out of the ordinary.

The home side should have coped better on what is still a fantastic batting pitch.

It is up to brad haddin and mitchell johnson to rescue this innings for the aussies and they have a long way to go.

Some more thoughts here from the mirror’s man down under, dean wilson.

What an engrossing first session at the gabba.

If the series is as ding dong as those first two hours then we will be christian louboutin abruk.co.uk in for a treat.

First blood to england, brilliant counter attacking from australia, pressure building from england and then the wicket of shane watson to send alastair cook’s men heading for their mungbean curry with a spring in their step.

With david warner still at the crease australia are capable of anything, but the way christian louboutin sale england’s bowlers dried up the runs in the second hour was a testament to their skill and ability to bowl to a plan.

Watson ultimately lost patience and played at a ball he should have left well alone, and it was good to see graeme swann take such a solid catch at second slip.

There have been too many drops in the past 12 months.

At this point it is honours just about even, but the afternoon session is australia’s to lose.It is clear that the pitch is an absolute beauty for batting and if they can stay in they will score plenty.

You can be sure that when play resumes after lunch england’s bowlers will be having a good go cheap christian louboutin at australia captain michael clarke.

Nicknamed pup, the 32 year old batsman faced just three balls before lunch and so obviously has yet to get his eye in.

Clarke is playing in his 98th test today and he has an impressive average of 52.08.

He’s scored 7, 656 runs, including 24 centuries and 27 half centuries.

You feel he needs to lead by example here but either way, we’re surely in for some exciting cricket.
