Worsening went more worst for Aussies

A Terrible start of the second Test Match for Australia, as the first day was highly Dominated by the Englishmen. Batting first their openers gave them a dream start as Cook Just missed the century, while the skipper remained not out on 160 at stumps.
On the other hand the Aussies unlike their standards committed every single mistake in cricket one would hardly think of.Right from the beginning things were going against them as their frontline bowler Johnson went for 6.5 runs per over, Not enough, the different comedy of errors were displayed like the Skipper, one of the greatest fielders missing a ball between his gates, No ball bowled which finds an edge but still not sticking the keepers gloves, over throws, Missed runout chance, extreme wide down the legside going to the fence, If that wasn't enough the worsening went more worst when their only genuine spinner Nathan Hauritz damaged his finger during a caught and bowl chance and left the field.
Things settled a bit when they were able to get the middle orders quickly. Second Day the England will look to add 150 runs more to the total while the Aussies after learning from their mistakes would want to get the tailenders back quickly and give a good start like Cardiff.
