*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Son Of Coco]

How hilarious is Doherty's head wobble as he walks in to bowl right at the start?

I like his whole run-up, kind of wobbles in.

 

[vcs]

Doherty will get Cook if he keeps him on strike long enough.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Bell not covering off stump atm

Slips get ready

Hope the simpering, apologetic-looking little turd goes soon. Only became half a test cricketer when a lot of quality players disappeared from the game.

Not sure I like him much to be honest.

 

[DragonPunk]

It's kinda rhymic how he runs in. shifts left then right.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Doherty is absolutely all over Cook atm. Will be interesting to see how he responds.

 

[morgieb]

They should've picked Vettori.

Haha, so good.

 

[Nate]

Very impressed with this spell from Siddle. Hilf and Johnson better improve out of sight though, they have been so poor.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Doherty is absolutely all over Cook atm. Will be interesting to see how he responds.

Cook looks horrible playing around his front pad.

 

[M0rphin3]

****ing bell.

 

[vcs]

Haha, when was Bell ever a "dasher with the bat looking to thump the ball"?

[Spark]

Amazed how slow the pitch is though. Not like the ODI strip at all

 

[Ruckus]

Siddle is a good bowler, but he sure doesn't bowl intelligently. He knows what line and length works now, so just stick with it damnit!

 

[vcs]

From what I've seen, Bell looks a class apart from the rest of the batsmen in this lineup, including Pietersen.

 

[M0rphin3]

Bell's decent player of spin, gotta give hilfy/mitch another burst.

Awta, Prior is pretty gun too.

 

[vcs]

Poor from Doherty there, released the pressure he was building on Cook..

 

[Son Of Coco]

Siddle is a good bowler, but he sure doesn't bowl intelligently. He knows what line and length works now, so just stick with it damnit!

Yeah exactly. Reckon 3-4 balls on a good length to Bell around off and something will happen. In a row of course.

Edit: Haha, keep on going Bell...want to see more of that down the wicket stuff.

Edit: Please get a decent line going Johnson.

So I was watching some cricket on my lunch break and was seeing Johnson and Hilf bowl and thought to myself "they're bowling too short, they should pitch it a metre or two fuller". Lo and behold, Siddle comes on and pitches it in the right area and takes two wickets.

I was not a fan of dropping Bollinger, but Siddle has earned his wage thus far.

 

[M0rphin3]

Ohh ****.
