Its been a Australia's day till now. England have lost their key and best batsmen. Flintoff and Prior are the last recognized pair on the crease. KP crossed 1000 runs against Aussies in just 11th Test, but he would also know that 69 would not be the score England look from him.
Strauss, Cook, Bopara didnt score high and got carried away in hype and hoopla. Fell to cheap dismissals.
Hilfy and Johnson have been the bowlers for the Australia who have bowled quite well. Somehow Australia right now lack a genuine pace bowler like Lee who could run down the opposition in a torrid spell.
Not so long ago Clark was their best bowler, but he is not in the side today. Hauritz hasnt bowled that bad so far. Right now Ponting is trying to run through the 80 overs to may be get the new ball. 17 more balls to go right now.
Australia would be happy to restrict England below 335 or 340. All in all a good Test match cricket on day 1 of Ashes.
Session wise scoreline :
Session 1 : Australia
Session 2 : England
Session 3 : Australia so far.
