    Won the toss and bowling. Always puts a bit of pressure on the openers to take early wickets but given the greenness of the pitch probably a good decision.

    Hoping Henry starts well.

    yeah, I wondered too. Ockers have it right - win toss, bat.

    CDG first change bowler - cripes

    Surely this is the sort of series you give someone else a go? - surely there's an up and comer on the first class scene that could be given a crack?

    Was surprised they didn't run with Ferguson.

    @donsteppa I wasn't - but, they should have picked him instead of de Grandhomme. We've got someone who can bowl 150 kph, but why choose him when you can have CDGH dribble in at 125 kph?

    Pakistanis really did us no favours giving Colin six wickets in his first innings.

    When you win the toss you always bat. Unless the wickets green, it's overcast and all the conditions are great for bowling. In which case you think about it then bat.

    Steve Waugh, I think ...

    I though it was one of the Marsh brothers or maybe Border but it was before Steve Waugh.

    @majorrage this

    CdG is fucking shit, and it's an embarrassment he's bowling first change. And if he's first change, why the fuck do you bowl first??

    @mariner4life dunno ... but it's 11:10pm and I'm bored shitless and debating chucking it in.

    Forgot how boring test cricket is when it's your only focus

    He was so good that even when he got bowled out he stayed in because 'people had come to watch him bat'

    The way the games going so far perhaps he'd be more entertaining?

    I hate James Blunt.

    Not as much as Ed Sheeran but.
