I actually think we lost because we won the toss and fielded first. We should have put the pressure on with the bat to start with.
The bowlers in the first innings were ordinary. They score more than 5 runs an over. In the main, the England batters got themselves out rather than great bowling.
Both Martin and Katich made 50s in the first test. Hayden is out of form.
Good game. Makes the rest of the series a little more interesting.
