Big, big test for Carberry now. Hope not, but I fear he'll struggle against Harris. Fancy him to thrash Johnson and Siddle all round the ground though, so if they can see off the first 12-15 overs, we could be in for a long day of batting.
Only a couple of overs and don't want to tempt fate but Cook and Carbs look pretty solid, compact and more to the point positive in approach. Especially with Johnson hitting leg and outside most balls.
Johnson is a total enigma. How can someone get it so wrong so consistently and then do the complete opposite without knowing what it takes to do the latter. Brainless?
I think a lot of Johnson's inconsistency stems from his slingy action. It must be almost impossible for coaches to teach him the mechanics of repeatable delivery when he chucks it from about 2 o'clock.

Agree but Malinga had an even worst action going but was one of the best at bowling at the end of a limited overs game. Difference I think is that Malinga knew what he was doing and therefore was consistent whereas Johnson is trial and error most of the time.
Why didn't either bend down and do their laces to delay time to prevent another over. It was 11.59 on the clock before the final ball of Siddels over . Schoolboy error
