Johnson...I doubt you will see him again in a baggy green the tide is turning towards youth, he was a very over-rated bowler anyway..an athlete( javelin i think) turned into a bowler at a later age..no wonder he is breaking down so much. Top guy but no mongrel in the tank...he is a pussycat.
Siddle is ok but without his mongrel he would be very very ordinary indeed.
To think if all our quicks were fit Siddle would not even get a run and then Clarke tosses the first over of the new rock to Patto....lol. With regards to the swapping of ends...well clarke is a pretty ordinary captain.
Starc looked good and Cutsy was very unlucky not to get the nod over Patto...he would have taken a bagfull yesterday if picked. A lot of the kiwi wickets can be put down to ordinary strokes chasing just as ordinary balls instead of awesome bowling.
You don't have to bowl fast on the gabba to take a stack of poles.
Set up nicely for day 2!
