Ashes - 1st Test, Day One 2009
July 8th 2009 14:49
Well. It's 48 overs through the highly anticipated 1st 2009 Ashes test! So far not much to write about some people think. But I believe their is a bucket load to write about. Mostly pre-match stuff e.g Hiflenhaus and Haurtiz selection over Stuart Clark. Are the selectors serious?!?! Okay credit where it is due, Hilfenhaus hasn't bowled too badly up until now, taking the pretty valuable wicket of Cook. (with immense assistance from Hussey at gully!) But he is not a test match bowler! In my opinion it's a joke he is playing, sorry Ben, but Stuart Clark should easily pull rank over an amature such as Hilfenhaus. Clark has far more experience and far more test attributes to offer as opposed to Hilfenhaus. But! Hauritz is horrible. They already have part-time spin bowlers, Clarke, North, Katich, I don't think they need Haurtiz. Something is appealing Ponting and the selectors that I obviously can't see. So with the whinging out of the way, back to the cricket! I feel England has a superior side, both experience and talent wise, but Australia has that knack to never sod off. Kevin Pietersen has the ability to take the game away from you in a heartbeat (speak of the devil just brought up his half century) and I feel he will do that. One of the Australian bowlers needs to step up and show the way and Brett Lee would of been perfect for that, had he not bruised a leg hair. Sorry side strain. Poor bugger! Anyway, cmon the Poms and cmon K.P!! BJ.
