webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

*bowls rubbish long hop, gets lucky wicket instead of being hit for six*
*unnecessary sendoff*

It's always hard to catch them in the follow through but Johnson did all the hard work. It just didn't stick.

I wish Starc would just bowl at the stumps against rank tail enders.

They aren't going to get out of their crease against 150kph.

They also haven't dominated the bowling - knocking stumps out of the ground hurts and Australia haven't done it much.
