That's a couple of major changes to make mid-series. England could easily be damned if they do and damned if they don't, but there's one certainty: if they allow the status quo to prevail then they're in big trouble.So while much of the focus has been on the verbal side of the contest since the Gabba Test, it's not words that will swing the balance for England but deeds.Australia on the other hand are suddenly well placed to regain the urn. One-nil up is a good spot, with Adelaide, a potential draw venue, being followed by a trip to Perth, where a fast, bouncy pitch favours the home side. England are indeed fortunate the second Test isn't at the WACA, because in their current state that could easily have meant two down after two. Australia are far from home and hosed, as the batting is still vulnerable. The bowling, however, which always appeared to be the best chance of providing victory, now has greater depth with Nathan Lyon's improved form and a real edge to the attack with Johnson's resurgence. So often, once a genuine fast bowler stamps his authority on a series, the mental damage inflicted can carry over even on the most benign of surfaces. That's why it's imperative for England to at least quell the uprising in Adelaide even if they don't win the match. Genuine fast bowling has changed Ashes series quickly in the past, as we've seen with the likes of Harold Larwood, Frank "Typhoon" Tyson and Jeff Thomson. And judging by the way he bowled at the Gabba, Johnson could add his name to that illustrious list if England don't show plenty of imagination in Adelaide. The Watson and Johnson question marks | The king and his heir | Bowlers are becoming an endangered species in limited overs | Australia's pointless tour to India could lead to selection blunders | Sehwag must resist middle-order temptation During the India tour I watched Johnson closely and found that he is no more the erratic self as far as line and length is concerned.Of late he pitches the ball in right areas with great speed.Actually his rythem is very good at present.He is getting reverse as well as late swing that cause tremendous problem for the batsmen.The English batsmen should alter their stance a bit by getting more openchested and play a little late. England should play Finn sooner than later, to me he is as very fine bowler and needs to be regular in this English team. Broad is bowling well and Swann ranks in top 2-3 spinners anyday and Anderson is more than handful in any condition. In batting England are far superior to Australia and all this hoopla of short pitched bowling doesn't make much of sense. Facing well directed fast bowling is not an easy task for any batsmen be it from Eng, Aus or any other country. End of the day, you can save your wicket by getting out of the line of attack till the time you are not comfortable to play a shot and rest assured no bowler will continue to bowl meaningless short balls let alone Mitch who is more of a confidence bowler. You have to remember, once the Aussies get a foot in the door, they are ruthless. Australian's are born front runners, they love it and don't get tired of it. England lost it's drive when they reached number 1, but Australia's hunger to be the best is insatiable. No one's really talking about Jimmy Anderson...he hasn't performed...If I can recall correctly he has never performed so consistently outside of England. He also has a major weakness bowling in One Dayers. He seems to me like someone who can perform at home mostly and not much abroad.Australian fast bowling is a headache even for the South Africans, even though they do have their own artillery ... Mitchell Johnson is a key to Australia doing well ... When he fires ... he normally does so as an all-rounder ... He made a good 50 and took a number of wickets ... in xxxx ... He won the series ... the last series defeat of South Africa ... more notably in their own backyard ... this coming off a series defeat at home to the South Africans ... let history repeat itself and we will see Australia having the better of England ... Mitchell Johnson has found a good ally in Harris ... and their combination will prove the undoing of England and the ashes will be in Australia again.DaisonGarvasis; He averaged under 20 in the test series against Sri Lanka last year that was well before the IPL, and in his prime in xxxx when he was the best in the world he didnt play IPL at all. THere is no correlation between IPL and Mitch's form.LOL to that person who reckon Johnson doesn't swing it - when conditions are right he bowls banana balls. Take a look at some videos.Conditions at the Gabba favoured bounce not swing (a tad unusual - you often get BOTH there); even Jimmy Anderson couldn't get it to move much. If he's smart Johnson w'll try and use the atmosphere more than the pitch in Adelaide - ie less bouncers, more yorkers.His only drawback is accuracy; even at the Gabba he bowled a lot of wide balls. He'll generally give you at least one bad ball an over(and in Adeliade you can easily send them to the fence) - but when he's on song he'll also give you a completely unplayable one to match it.One question to all Pundits - so now Mitchell Johnson found his form back by playing the IPL - well, you like it or not, thats the fact isnt it? After finding his form back Johnson had good run in the ODI series where he made two bunnies. And then he went on to give a memorable performance in the first test of Ashes (and probably on the way to make a few more bunnies). The question is, how long all you pundits will continue to say IPL is bad for Cricket.People forget that the key to the result of the series is the Australian batting and not it's bowling. Even the series earlier this year, the Australian bowlers had often bowled Australia into winning positions, only to be let down by their batting with alarming regularity. It was Warner and Clarke, who through their 2nd innings batting didn't let the bowling down this time.That said, England is definitely the more settled side (both batting and bowling) who are good enough to pounce on any mistake by the Aussies. I also do not see Australia coming up with the batting like they did in the 2nd innings repeatedly in the series. I would beckon the Aussie fans to keep the cork on the champagne bottle for some more time. I see a resounding reply round the corner on the field to the Aussie sledging in Adelaide by the English team.Personally, I started the series rooting for the Aussies. After their boorish behavior in the first match, my support is now firmly for the English side.There is still a big question mark about MJ's consistency. Although,he is certainly bowling well and at good pace since the last many months. MJ's pace is just about what Steys, Roach or Tino Best can achieve. But, it is Steyn's bowling which has mattered to his team , the most, because he is part of a good bowling attack. Hence, what is being, perhaps, overlooked is that Lyon and Harris are the key to Australia winning the Ashes. If MJ gets wickets in Adelaide and the Aussie batters start believing in themselves, the series is as good as over for England. England's relative edge in batting can be easily negated by the superior bowling Aussies possess. I will not be surprised if Oz batters outscore their opponents by the end of the series. Off course,that will be on account of the relatively weaker ( English) bowling under the conditions. Unless KP plays a blinder like he did at Mumbai and Cook bats long the series will be tough to ,even, save. Forget Swan + Monty act in OZ.Martin Crowe wrote this week of the masks international cricketers wear. Michael Clarke, he observed, had "up until five minutes to go in the Brisbane Test, displayed a real face and spirit to the challenge in front of him. Then, on the stroke of the kill, his face changed and the mask was there for all to see, ugly and not authentic. The finger-pointing rant was a performance to lead into the next battle in Adelaide.Crowe is better placed than most to make such assessments. Indeed, it is likely that Clarke was putting on a show for the benefit of his players. C'mon boys, let's show these Poms how tough we are. But for the viewers watching Channel Nine's coverage and listening to the audio from the stump microphone, the impression was not that of a façade, but of Clarke's mask slipping to reveal something new, something beyond the public-relations image he typically presents. After 98 Tests, 25 hundreds and more than ten years as an international cricketer, Clarke remains elusive to the Australian public. That is not surprising, for unlike his predecessors he entered the captaincy at the height of the 24-hour news cycle. It is the era of "quotes pieces" and media managers, news articles built around anything a sportsman says, and image-makers who prevent those words from being too scandalous. Anything a Test captain says is considered twice as worthy - or twice as controversial. In this environment, a captain's tour diary can never be a truly warts-and-all account - for that, a player naturally waits until his career is over. It is an inherently limited genre, and The Ashes Diary cannot help but be an inherently limited account of the xxxx tour of England, for Clarke wants to offer the minimum of ammunition to his opponents and the media. That caveat acknowledged, there are still enough thought-provoking snippets to make Clarke's review of the tour a moderately diverting summer read. At times, it is what Clarke doesn't reveal that piques the interest. This is particularly the case when he describes his relationship with Shane Watson. During the Champions Trophy, all parties were at pains to deny that Watson was responsible for tipping off the coach Mickey Arthur about David Warner's punch at Joe Root.Arthur's leaked legal documents later allegedly suggested that in fact Watson had been the one who had told him, and Clarke skirts the edges of that detail in the early pages of his diary. "Mickey Arthur was advised that something had happened on the Saturday night," Clarke wrote of a time at which he was in London for treatment on his back while the rest of the team was in Birmingham. A few pages later, after discussing Warner's punishment, Clarke writes of a discussion with Watson. Another priority was to catch up with Shane Watson. In the last few days I've received phone calls from guys in the one-day squad and from staff referring to Shane's attitude around the group," Clarke writes. "Shane has strong opinions, which is his right as a senior member of the team, but sometimes there's a right way and a wrong way to put them... I didn't want people talking about anybody in the team behind their back. Whatever I heard, I wanted to hear from Shane himself, so that I could help.Clarke does not elaborate on what it was that he heard from Watson, which only serves to deepen the mystery of their relationship. It is a delicately worded passage that comes across as a little dig at Watson, regardless of whether that is what Clarke intended. It is an episode that could have been left out without the reader being any the wiser, yet Clarke chose not only to include it but to withhold the full detail, leaving the reader to form an opinion without all the pertinent facts. He also mentions having previously had "honest conversations" with Watson, "which is fantastic". Clarke refers to a 90-minute session in his hotel room before the first Test in Chennai in February, in which "we got a lot of things off our chests and thrashed it out and I think that from that point our relationship has been extremely good". He does not allude to the fact that three weeks later, he was part of the management team that suspended Watson and three other players for failing to complete an off-field task. Arthur was the man who took the fall for that decision, but Clarke was party to it. His diary entry for July 16, two days before the Lord's Test, details the leaking of Arthur's legal documents, which alleged that Clarke had called Watson a "cancer" on the team and that Arthur felt like the "meat in the sandwich" between them. Notably, Clarke does not deny the comment, but calls it "old news" and says his relationship with Watson "has improved out of sight"In private, though, I'm filthy," he writes. "I had a long talk with [wife] Kyly about it tonight, pouring out my frustrations. I've supported Mickey through thick and thin, and it pisses me off that this has come up now. I sent him a text to tell him as much. He'd said that he didn't want it to come out publicly, but somehow it leaked out anyway. If Mickey didn't know this was going to happen, he's been naïve.On Arthur's sacking, earlier in the tour, Clarke describes being "in complete turmoil" after James Sutherland and Pat Howard sprang the news on him. They also told Clarke they would finally accept his resignation as a selector, although why they chose that time, considering Clarke had offered to step down after the India tour, remains a mystery. The cricket itself is related in detail, although again the reader is left with questions. Just as notable as Australia's dearth of runs on the Ashes tour was the lack of stability in the batting line-up, for the top six changed personnel and/or order every Test. Clarke explains early in the book that the captain chooses the batting order, yet apart from a couple of instances - such as aiming to negate Graeme Swann by having the left-handers at the top in the third Test - glosses over the reasons for such changes. The inventor and owner of Hot Spot came out and admitted it doesn't pick up all nicks. Okay, that's fine: Hot Spot should not be used until it is more reliable. I can see why India don't like to use it - because they don't believe it is 100% correct. Once the technology has been tested and is shown to be correct, then the ICC should rule that every team has to use it.Warner's punch: Mickey had decided to put David on what we call an "amber" level, which means he's on his last warning before serious action will be taken. That information reached Cricket Australia, and they immediately banned David from the next Champions Trophy game? that took it out of the team leadership's hands." Arthur's sacking: James [Sutherland] spoke. "Tomorrow we're going to Bristol to let Mickey know that he's no longer required as our head coach, and we're going to offer Darren Lehmann the job." My head went so light that I thought I was going to fall off my stool. I was too stunned to speak.It's all about what is best for the team in the specific circumstances, and taking into account the wicket itself," Clarke writes, when discussing his move from No. 4 down to No. 5 after the first Test. There are things a captain cannot reveal, but surely decisions on batting order should be pretty safe territory.To Clarke's credit, he occasionally offers forthright opinions, such as his belief that Hot Spot should be cut from the DRS until it can be proven to be more reliable. For the most part, though, The Ashes Diary tells us who, what, when and how, without always getting to the why. For that, readers might have to wait until Clarke's career is over. Until then, as in this book, he cannot be expected to divulge everything.Yes, i disagree with Martin Crowe's view. That was the real Michael Clarke, the boy raised in the western suburbs of Sydney. It got him a much bigger following amongst Australians when he did that, no more mr. nice guy. It's like what happened to AB from xxxx-89, time to get gritty and get the job done, the Australian way. Team friction exists eternally. Irrespective of time or country. This article sensationalizes events. May be targeting consumers for the book or for an impending Michael Clarke biobook. clarke is not mordern captain he sets attacking field every time which cost some series for australia but he is a great batsmen he is a gud captain but i donot agree with sen warne that he is a best captain in the world at the moment he need to improve his leader ship role and be a leader at ctxxxx he reat for ashes when australia need him that stage when the lose and also not replaced by another player these thinks u can not do as a captain luk smith dose in fainal test at sydnyin xxxx when s.a need to save the game and smith had a broken finger but he still out their and bat yes he lose the match but smith as a captain wins the heart and respect of the players and people .clarke should luk these think and learn and make himself a batter captain he can do that. India is fortunate they have managed to rebuild their batting order so quickly. While it's too early to predict how the new order will do in conditions that favour fast bowling, the rapidity with which a new set of good batsmen - who have at the very least shown the hunger to bat for long - has been found is remarkable. In a way, this desire to bat long is the biggest tribute to the men who have stepped aside. Batting was always India's strong suit, but the magnificence of the band of five, especially outside India, has ensured their deeds will be a wellspring of inspiration for years to come. The ability to pass the baton is not India's strength as a society, and Indian cricket must consider itself a lucky exception to be witness to a fairly seamless transition.The greatness of Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman and Ganguly was that they built large and crucial partnerships, and the first four loved making big hundreds. Giving us an appreciation of the value and impact of the match-turning big hundred in a large partnership is their lasting legacy, and it seems to have made an early impact on Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. I believe there is another sort of effect that this batting order has had and will have on India's current and future batsmen. And I've come around to the topic at hand. The playing styles of the five senior former batsmen reflect a richness of texture that will find echoes in Indian batting orders to come. And the same variety will serve as a model, untrammelled by convention yet respectful of the fundamentals of technique, a batting template that is a reminder of body balance, alignment of head position, and the virtues of playing the ball late, but not restrictive of the wristy flourish and of playing beside the line of the ball when the occasion allows for it. The more technically sound three in the old order, apart from sharing personality traits (has there ever been a softer-spoken, nicer middle order I wonder), complemented each other beautifully: the stoic artistry of Dravid at one-drop, the science and art of Tendulkar's experiments with cricket at two-down, and the wispy, dreamy rhythms of VVS. The scene for this middle-order serenity was often perfectly set up by the remorseless aggression of Sehwag's playmaking, and frequently the battle felt truly joined with the moody, feisty left-handed grace of Ganguly.While judgement of ability can prudently wait, a stylistic comparison of the old order with the new can be attempted. At the top, Dhawan makes the by-most-standards minimalist Sehwag look a merciless ball-beater in comparison. If Sehwag was known to hum a tune to keep his spirits up and mind fresh, Dhawan might well be singing multiple songs all at once. Sehwag looked like he wished to submit the bowler to a real flogging; Dhawan resembles a high-spirited swordsman who chanced upon a cricket ground on one of his jolly jaunts; having found himself there, he seems to be laughing out loud with every twirl of his moustache - at the fielding team's obvious discomfiture at not just having fluffed their lines but seemingly completely forgotten them. There is a bit of the ambush about his batting: bowlers aren't entirely sure what to expect next. He is a combination of Ganguly and Sehwag on the off side, with an ability to put the short, fast ball on leg away that was missing in both. Murali Vijay camps on his back foot generally, and has tremendous hands. Through the off side and to full balls on the leg, he oozes grace with every caressed drive and flick. It is almost as if it was VVS all over again, except he had now developed a bit of a swagger, didn't have a dodgy back and knees, and didn't mind hitting the occasional ball in anger. Will that silken brushstroke pull be unfurled at some point? Or does that require an exposure to matting pitches in your early cricket.Pujara's presence at one-drop is a throwback to an earlier age. Monk-like in batting manner, he is the least excitable of India's new order. He tends to use his feet versus spin more than his predecessor at No. 3 did. His footwork is decisive against spin and pace alike, and speaks of a clear, methodical approach to his cricket. He reminds me of a young Sanjay Manjrekar in his square-of-the wicket off-side play and his straight-batted flicks through leg. There's a minimum of flourish, very rarely the intent to hit the ball in the air, and the use of a light bat. Everything is focused on scoring runs and by the heap. A kind of Indian Mr Cricket. Kohli, Tendulkar's heir at No. 4, is the most flamboyant of the new order and possibly the most complete, versatile player of the current lot, at the moment. In being the leader of the bunch, ability-wise, he's like Sachin. If Vijay and Rohit Sharma exude effortless grace and rely on touch play, Kohli's timing is explosive. In batting manner, he's more Ponting than Tendulkar, wristy flourish coupled with a dismissive, combative abrasiveness evident most in his hooking and pulling. The slightest lapse in length will be punished, and he will not hesitate to dominate. Already he has played the most difficult bowlers well, albeit in one-dayers, notably looking remarkably sure of himself against Malinga and Saeed Ajmal.Rohit Sharma, a wristier version of Mark Waugh in style, is well-suited to No. 5 or 6 now, because he is equipped to bat well with the tail. Although perfectly capable of flamboyance, he seems to prefer the smooth build-up to an innings, tucking the ball in the gaps and not getting bogged down, a bit like VVS. Having batted against the new ball in one-dayers, he plays the short ball with time to spare, and can accelerate if required against the second new ball in Tests. Before you know it, he might get to 30 or 40, and this can be handy when batting with the tail.People say there is a shortage of offspinners in the country, but I have reached a level that others.
