"I watched guys around me get out trying to defend and I thought, like I've always said, the better the bowling the more aggressive you've got to be," Clarke said.

ummm no isn't it "leave (or defend) the good ball, hit the bad ball"???

The conditions played a big part - overcast and humid weather in England = swingy ball. David Gower made a telling point yesterday, to the effect that in England, when the ball's moving a lot, batsmen learn to play the ball late and soft. The Aussies were stepping up and hitting hard, and that's what did for many of them.

Trent Bridge is Broad's home ground, and he's known as a bit of a streaky player - he has periods of brilliance. England didn't drop a single catch. It was a perfect storm as far as the Aussies were concerned.

I think the score flatters England (not to take anything away from Broad's awesome performance), as we know from the second test how much closer the teams are in truth, but it was a sensational morning nonetheless. Ain't over yet though....

hahahaha you're kidding,right??

Agreed. It would all be over by now, had a couple of catches not been dropped, and Neville caught off Finn by Cook being a no ball (plus another that I can't remember right now).
