The ball that bowled ponting was way better but I agree that it's about as sure a sign a batsman is done. Missing a straight ball

Finn was inconsistent then he changed his run up and all sorts and was just poo poo all the time and now he might be good again who knows

That action doesn't look natural though

I haven't seen a lot of him but I remember him being a good bowler but with an absolute shocking spell in him. He also is a confidence player so can be put off his game by things like the Finn rule.

Has he lost a bit of pace ? Being so tall it's not a huge deal but I seem to recall him being a bit quicker.

Voges probably playing for his spot I'd think. I hope he does well. This match will be a good test for Nevill too considering his first innings at Lord's was pretty easy.
