Mystery ball - Warne played the trick of talking up a wonder ball there never was every ashes series after his "wonder ball" - the memory of one ball and being able to turn a ball the width of Gatting was enough to get English batsman scratching there heads - Lyon is good but not the same prospect

Be nice if the 'new' England could come up with a different, aggressive approach to spin. Old England would always treat every spinner as Warne/Murali, blocking and pushing the odd one or two - allowing even mediocre practioners like Lyon the luxury of settling into rhythm and keeping an attacking field.
Lyon, with this play, is trying to tap into that 'old' mindset, hoping we'll go into block mode worrying about this mystery ball.

Monty Panesar apparently unselectable for Essex; poor Monty, wonder where it all went wrong for him?
Ryan Harris has retired from cricket with a knee injury. Shame for him, good bowler and seems a nice chap. Very handy for England though.
Brendon McCullum; he was due a good one! You Bears!

2 days to go....
Excited? Confident?
I predict 3-0 Australia, think we'll be feistier than I feared a couple of months back, just can;t see the firepower in the bowling to get over the line in a test without 'English conditions', which are not likely given the summer we are having.

Just leave a few cricket balls scattered around where the convicts are warming up. Should do the trick.
