The Ashes 2006/07: The Brisbane Test Thread (Day 1)

Hrmison did get the edge of Langers bat though, bad over but could have had a wicket.

A mixture in Harmison's first over, not too great but he showed signs of being able to get the ball in the right areas.

Hoggy on now, can he deliver that one wicket he so commonly takes with the new ball?

You often get that Ern from a bowler who is bowling all over the place

Seems to be settling in now. Bad first over from Harmy.. even if the two boundaries were more by luck than judgement

Hoggard v Hayden one of the battles I have been waiting for - interesting first over

[flanflinger]

Think Langer could be looking to match Lara with a century before lunch!!

[Aussie-Yank]

Either that or he decided that he did not want to run today

[flanflinger]

Vic Marks has said that most of them have had an element of if not risk, then they were not crashing fours...

So I am hopefully that this is not setting the tone for the day!!

True Harmison is bowling poor, he needs an extra set of stumps to bowl at, the first ball was a classic.

Be interesting to see if they employ a third man in for Harmison - if they do it will be a reflection on Harmison's bowling in my opinion.
