*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Spudsy2061]

That was such a lazy play by Trott. He half-assed that drive and just flung the bat awkwardly like a kid bored of being out there practicing. What a huge gate that was. England now crap of turd.

 

[GIMH]

Our blokes are stupid then...

Yeah, must be to prize the guy who averages the most against you and has destroyed you for fun when you actually had competent bowlers

 

[Burgey]

I know. They've only played against him for 5 years, seen hium score runs here when no one else did etc.

Been poor of late though, I grant you.

 

[outbreak]

lol Trott got out to a lady.

Is Broad bowling for the Aussies? Baywatch changed sides?

 

[Spudsy2061]

DWTA. He's still the wicket our blokes prize most imho. Along with Strauss.

Along with Strauss? Please if you could train a monkey to set fielding positions he'd have a better go with the bat then that over-rated bloke.

Cook really does look ****ing awful when the ball is pitched up

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not going to be the most original point in the world, but Watson as fifth bowler is a huge advantage to the crims. Especially given ours is Collingwood.

And we get criticised for living in the past

Yeah but look who there other four are

 

[Spark]

Yeah hasn't played a single convincing drive today IIRC

 

[robelinda]

Watson looking good, bowling with none of the old man syndrome we saw in India. At least he isnt likely to run up and bowl bouncers at his pace.

 

[Prince EWS]

Fixed.

 

[Son Of Coco]

There were some really good shots in there as well, though. A mixed day.

Was strong off his legs, as expected. Would be interesting to see his wagon-wheel, reckon he put away the balls you'd expect him to on middle/leg.

Pietersen's mo is pretty outstanding. The bowler's should ask him to shave it off as it's distracting.

That's the problem with our blokes, it's all about what they know from a few years ago. "I remember we did this back in 07, it worked so lets stick with that" type thing.

Most articles from idiot journos have been going on about KP this, KP that, not realising this is quite a good English batting lineup that doesn't rely on the Saffie anymore. The notion that he is their Messiah and the only hope of winning this series is ridiculous.

Yeah, he's a has been who will never score runs again

Haha, nah, fair enough, I'll take your point here but hopefully you've already seen my last post and called me a ****

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pronunciation of Doherty's first name as "Ex-a-vee-er" getting right on my **** already.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Reckon that this pitch will really turn come the last few days.

 

[outbreak]

Rekon we'll see Doherty bowl afew overs towards the end of the session?

Yeah but when you look at our 4th bowler...
