Cameron isn't used to only drawing at PMQs. I don't think Corbyn will land any big hits but quite quickly Cameron will just be saying the same things every week in the response to the public's questions.<br /><br />It's like watching a mercurial spin bowler against a batsman who his curbing his natural urge to slog.
