Ashes - 2nd test - Day 2

The second day of the second test match is rapidly turning into one way traffic - the Poms are all over the Australians courtesy of some very handy bowling from James Anderson.

Prior to this test match starting I was actually going to post on The Baggy Green that Anderson was going to have to do something special to remain at the head of the English attack.... guess he unknowingly answered my criticism.

I am a little surprised that the English elected to open with Flintoff... maybe he just knows the conditions better - would like to see them give the new ball to Onions but it is still early days in his career.

C'mon Aussie c'mon!

Things looking good for the English. A few poor shots and bad decisions by the umpire. Referral system is must.

Yip - now their killer instinct is going to be tested!

Good cricket sides are able to bury their opponents.
