Ashes 2013-14: Five talking points from day one of the second Test between England and Australia This was Alastair Cook's most imaginative performance in the field. He got all "funky" with his field settings as if he had listened to Shane Warne and studied Michael Clarke up close. He posted two short midwickets for Shane Watson and a gully, cover and extra cover for Rogers as England hunted a wicket after lunch. Both batsmen had to adjust their scoring areas and even though they fell to sloppy shots, England were looking to be positive and aggressive when Australia were on top. He had two short legs around Michael Clarke and men crowding the bat in the final few overs against new man Brad Haddin. Earlier, he issued a rallying call during the drinks break in the afternoon session when Australia were only a wicket down and cruising. Three wickets fell and England were back in it. England's choice of two spinners was a bold step but logical once they correctly read the pitch on the eve of the match. Drop in pitches normally start damp but this one looked very dry, almost as if it was a two day old surface. South Australia have picked two spinners this season and the slow bowlers have taken more wickets than the seamers but crucially have not managed to bowl their side to victory. But this pitch is different to the Shield wickets. A clue is from the old pitches to the side of the Test strip. They are completely lacking in footmarks which shows the pitches have not deteriorated. The Test strip by contrast was showing evidence of bowlers footmarks within an hour of play starting and England had made the right call. We all know Swann likes to bowl to left-handers so when he dismissed Chris Rogers for the seventh time it was not a huge shock. But it brought Steve Smith to the crease with Michael Clarke, two right handers, and Cook immediately removed Swann from the attack even though he should have been full of confidence after a wicket. Cook brought on Panesar, who bowled patchily to that point, to turn the ball away from the right handers and posted fielders close in on both sides. Smith's footwork was messed up and he missed a ball that turned sharply and hit the stumps. A win for Cook. Biffer Bailey George Bailey has been told by Darren Lehmann to attack at No 6 and hit the England spinners out of the attack. It worked for a while too. He played a shot a ball in a frenetic start but did not let England build pressure as they ticked down overs to the second new ball. It is not always pretty but Bailey is a strong hitter in one-day cricket and has already struck five sixes in three Test innings. But No 6 is a role that requires more brains than brawn. Bailey will not always find himself batting with Clarke, one of the finest players in the world, and it remains doubtful if his technique will help him rebuild an innings when the pressure is on and tailenders are his only company. Twitter twits Cricket Australia was forced to relaunch its own Twitter account after its blunder over a Monty Panesar tweet. The board's official Twitter account started the day known as @cricketaus but was changed to @CAnews. The chaos was caused by the decision to tweet a photo of four men dressed as sikhs with the question posed "Would the real Monty Panesar please stand up?!" CA deleted the tweet and apologised after accusations of racial insensitivity. The board has decided to use its social media as an edgy, news driven service on this tour rather than just to tweet scores and official statements. The line between governing body and news organisation has become blurred. So in response the board rebranded its Twitter account @CAnews and launched a new, @CAcomms for its official releases and announcements.
