Ashes cricket

My take on the final day's play of the test match between England and Australia.

Anderson set the tone with a great first over.

Freddie bowled the perfect first over as he go it to straighten just a bit and as expected Haddin played away from the body and got out.

Clarke and Johnson battled through some hostile bowling by Freddie especially Johnson looked all over the place. He surely likes to come forward.

Swann again showed that he is a good finger spinner as he got the important wicket of Clarke. He does turn it a bit and gets the quicker one to turn a bit as well and that helps and of course to the lefthanders he comes around the wicket.

Freddie got a 5 for at last and Swann got yet another lefthanders wicket by coming around the wicket to end the match.
