As it is, looks like Australia will have a tricky half hour before lunch.

I thought that innings showed why sometimes it is an advantage to have a so called "defensive" coach and mindset in the field

As Glen Mcgrath has described better than i ever could on tms Bell got a lot of runs in areas were Clarke did not react by placing a fielder there

I've not been watching diligently but is Swann not spinning the ball as much as in the first innings?
The "rev-ometer" was in the red in the first innings but not now.

No he's not

Pitch has gone a bit dead too.

Sky keep calling it the Rev Counter, which just sounds like something out of the Reformation.

One of the fun aspects of this series is that there are only 8 umpires currently on the ICC elite panel

4 are British or Australian so can't officiate in this series

the other 4 are the three having stinkers in this match, Dar, Dharmasena, Erasmus and the fourth is Hill from New Zealand

Adds quite a random element to predicting results here

Five complete shockers in this game, two of them by the third umpire!

Why can't one English umpire be on the field? That was always the case historically, wasn't it?

Until about a decade ago when the bias of a lot of the home umpires in the Asian series 9Indian and esp Pakistani umps were notorious homers pre DRS/TV Technology)meant the ICC went to two neutral umpires, from whence never to return

Probelm for this series is the standard of umpiring around the world is quite varialbe, and the standard of English umps is very high

Makes you wonder whether the Australian Cricket Board might agree to better umpires, given the failsafe fallback of DRS
