Thoughts for (if he decides to) warne coming out of retirement? I for one hope he does come back and play some test matches. Maybe even bat 100 runs.

Past his used by date.

Haha, but i think he definately looks fitter than he was when he was bowling in his prime, somewhat of a large gut. Oh well guess it depends on the selectors and if he is good enough for international cricket.

We are so desperate with our bowling stocks that Wade had to bowl an over before tea. Losing Hilfenhaus (and the DRS system being more friendly to bowlers) has hurt, but we also do not have that killer strike bowler. Siddle is the workhorse we need, but no-one else is knocking on the door.

I'd be bowling more Warner, his spin is pretty good.

Have only been listening intermittently during the test but I hope Australia win. It really would suck to draw this game as well.

Well we won, and now there is controversy regarding to Siddle picking at the seams.

Sure looks like Siddle's arm and hands, but the fact that we only have a still, not the game footage indicates that it is not seam picking at all. They have caught a still with his finger on the seam.

If it was real, showing us the video would be HEAPS better proof. We don't know what game it's from, what Siddle (IF it was even him) was doing at the time.

They reckon its from sunday. Why wait until they lose to throw it at us? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Massive sour grapes. Which is sad, they didn't play well enough to win on any day. There is some super slow motion footage that when played real speed is about 1.5 seconds of fingers around seam. No way he could be picking the seam in that time frame.
