Brett Lee can certainly bat though. We all know that.

 

It seemd the batsmen were going for it, being positive and not wanting to hang around. The worst thing for a batsman of the calibre of Gilchrist is to be playing really cautiously and not going for his shots.

 

Worked for Katich but the decision backfired though.

Gilchrist isn't used to batting when the pressure is on. Since he made his debut in 1999 he has always had the luxury of opening batsmen piling on the runs and him smashing it at leisure at number 7.

I like that when someone gets smacked for 4 the next ball is right on the batsmens ear. We never used to be that ruthless.

Which is the reason for England's success, that and having a settled side for once.

Still think we could swap Ian Bell for Paul Collingwood.

No chance, Bell's first class average is better than Collingwoods and after a few bad innings you want him dropped. He played really well at Old Trafford.
