the reason i mentioned middlebrook was that i saw he got a century the other day, but could he be an answer to our spin bowling problem?

dalrymple looks good actually, he dismissed both law and hooper this morning which isn't bad going.

i agree about collingwood, i think he is slipping further and further out of the selectors minds with regard to the test matches anyway.

Key didn't make his century this morning but he's already 33* in the follow on.
