The fact that they wont pick the extra bowler is Flower in particular biggest weakness. Looking at the early deterioration of this dry pitch it looks like a second spinner in the second innings would be a real bonus but they haven't the balls for it. Em root An occasional spinner. Will be used sparingly like Trott's dipply dopply's have been in the past.

They are being picked purely for their bowling though not any bonus runs that Bresnan may score . Bresnan hasn't really got a skiddy action , on slow low pitches its always going to be that extra bit of pace that makes the difference , although Bresnan could get some reverse swing on here perhaps . They will never play the extra bowler . The fact that they wont pick the extra bowler is Flower in particular biggest weakness. Looking at the early deterioration of this dry pitch it looks like a second spinner in the second innings would be a real bonus but they haven't the balls for it. Well not just Flower .....the four bowler, seven batsman theory has been policy for a few years now....for my own preference five bowlers is always better, it's a pity we don't have a genuine all rounder in the set up these days like Botham , Greig or Flintoff

With this potential collapse under way it will probably only harden his thinking!

Well I regard Prior as a genuine batsman ....he should be coming in at six for my money ....then perhaps Samit Patel could come in at seven as an off spinning all rounder ....especially on this pitch as he plays here

I still chuckle at the headline in the Melbourne Age when there was a rare honours-even day back in about 1991 when Australia used to dominate: "A Strange Day At The Cricket:England Fails To Collapse". Hopefully those days are past us Long past ..... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) Then again I could be wrong ..... ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/4tzqvp1fxEemag_TAXLJ.gif)

It'll be interesting to see how we bowl, i believe that if we bowl anything like we can then we'll have a first innings lead. Our attack is better than Australia's and their batting is their weakest area. So let's see what occurs in their first innings, if they're 200-1 then we're up the Jacobs Creek without a paddle.
Our batting has been rotten, only 2 of our batsmen have actually been "got out" and everyone's got themselves in (besides Prior) and then gotten out. As far as Australia's bowling is concerned, they've been very poor bordering on useless bar 2 or 3 deliveries yet somehow we've conspired to be 185-6. There's swing about, slow pitch, get it in the right place and Aussies will struggle, i hope.
