I expect North and Katitch (spelling) to be in for a while, very steady batsmen.
Would you expect Clarke and Ponting to be in for a while too?
One thing that annoys me is our batters. The pitch is favouring England dramatically for the second innings, given how torn up it is: Australia only have seamers, no spinners. But knowing how our top order is playing at present..

Both like to play shots early, North and Katitch would sit there and block every ball if they had to.

You would expect them to be yes. But not today.
Pfft. Flintoff the old Broad I say.Broad the new Flintoff??
I think thats slightly unfair to Broad. Whilst Broad may not have the psychological impact that Flintoff has, yet, he's a better bowler, and in my opinion has better shot selection and a better temperament as a batter.Broad the new Flintoff??
He's what, 23? Impact aside I think he's at least as good as Flintoff is now. No reason why he won't be much better. The new Botham, perhaps
