| Re: The Ashes 2009 Thread A good opening day the Aussies were not bowling well at all apart from Brad H (can't spell last name To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. ) and Peter Siddle it's a mystery why they left Clark out. None of the English players made anything special most getting there 50's and giving there wicket away cheaply ie Colly and KP, 336-7 is a nice score to have, nice bowling from Siddle to get Prior and Flintoff right at the death of the day and James Anderson got a test record today by having not being out for a duck in 67 tests he has played.
