The Ashes

Here we go again day 2 coming up in about 45 mins.

Clarke proving to be a top class captain, could be a double on the cards for him today imo.
 
Anderson no balled for hitting the stumps with his hand whilst delivering the ball. Laws changed after Steven Finn repeatedly knocked the stumps with his standing leg in the series against South Africa. Botham is having kittens about a law that was created for 1 person who isn't even playing in this match.

I think it should be a no ball because it really puts you off as a batsman.

Your thoughts?

Also the Aussies have set this up pretty well. Got Warner on next and he should be given a free reign to play shots and accelerate the innings. What price on an England win from here?

IMO I wouldn't really say its worthy as a no ball but can see why it will distract some players so fair enough.

Pitch is flat as a witches tit so as long as England don't do anything stupid I think this could be a one innings shootout.
