Australia 2nd Innings

Flashy Phil Hughes c Johann Strauss b Fred 17

Simon 'Handbrake' Katich c KP b Fred 6
Little Captain Punter b Broad 38
Mr Cricket c Paul Collingwood MBE, b The Ugly Duckling 27
Pupshark not out 125
Magnetic Marcus North b The Ugly Duckling 6
Has-Been Haddin not out 80

Extras (b 4, lb 6, nb 4) 14

Hey, remember when Mr Cricket averaged 80-odd?

No. Me neither.

A bit of talk of Australia having a sniff of victory. But, no. Sometime around lunch tomorrow, the Poms will take a 1-0 lead and at that point, I will offer my thesis on why Little Captain Punter is the anti-Steve Waugh.
