*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Nate]

Really happy that we're bowling first. Johnson, Doherty to clean up. All series. Ponting to make all the runs by himself.

Just found out that Ch 9 have dumped HD coverage of the 1st test.

UP YOURS CHANNEL "NEIN".

 

[_Ed_]

That minute of silence was a lovely gesture.

 

[Furball]

Australia to win the Ashes. Calling it now. England are too hyped for something not to go horribly wrong.

I'm worried about how confident I feel. Then again, that's probably the Scotsman in me that's worrying, given our national habit of glorious failure.

Fair point.

Hopefully things don't go horribly awful enough for us to miss our chance.

Come on England

 

[Ausage]

Hilfenhaus didn't sing,only player in either side i noticed not singing.Should be dropped for that.

He didn't know the words. And that's completely acceptable for an Australian.

 

[Pothas]

Padraig I don't give a **** about you eco-drive watch, let this start already.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That minute of silence was a lovely gesture.

Makes you realise some things are more important than sport.

 

[Pizzorno]

I hate England. How is it that we can do so well in the build up to this test as well as having such a settled and confident side, yet I still think something is going to go horribly wrong?

And I still can't look at Michael Clarke's face without wanting to throw something at it.

 

[Nate]

Siddle if you bowl short on this wicket I swear I will stab you in your eyes.

 

[Gilly Fan]

BRING IT ON!!!! So pumped now. But it only came in the past half an hour.

Oh and do we really need Haddin to be mic'd up? It's not a T20 and we don't care.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

One thing i noticed in the anthems was that KP and Johnson both had dreadful taches,looked like dodgy 70's porn stars.

 

[Pizzorno]

Hilfenhaus didn't sing,only player in either side i noticed not singing.Should be dropped for that.

Wayne Rooney never sings our anthem either. Although I think that's more to do with the fact that he doesn't know the words.

 

[Joao]

Nothing to worry about. Siddle has a big heart, runs in all day, etc.

Phar Lap and had a big heart and could run all day, I bet he lacked penetration too.

 

[Ruckus]

Please just no dropped catches...

 

[GIMH]

it's time

 

[simmy]

Dear Aussies,.

Please bowl short at Cook

Sincerely

England fan

 

[Jarquis]

Right, I'm off until I've watched highlights. Laters.

Come on England!!

Movember? My tache is an absolute belter.
