*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Jacknife]

Some jaffas all of a sudden from Finny, that's how we know he can ball, it will give him great confidence.

 

[Furball]

That one did a bit too much.

Warne made an interesting point about KP yesterday needing something just to go his way, like a play and miss instead of an edge. Siddle's ball which got him yesterday seamed just enough to get the edge, Finn's delivery to Clarke there did too much sadly.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Clarke to ton up as he looks so out of touch it unreal.

 

[irottev]

England all over Australia after lunch. I rate Finn and Anderson especially. Broad though's a ********.

 

[outbreak]

Johnson will needa make some runs and save us! he's in form!

 

[Prince EWS]

Anderson starting to look tired.

 

[blahblahblah]

if this is the case with jimmy and finn

cant imagine what swann will do

 

[Ruckus]

If we collapse here, it's definately Ponting's fault. Played a stupid shot, then gave England all the momentum. Hussey better be playing for his life here...

 

[Spark]

To be fair the last time I've seen him this rusty was the first innings in NZ...

If he survives 40 balls or so, even if he's on three runs, then watch out.

Haha worst call. Broad is going to have a far better summer than the other two.

Wasn't a stupid shot...it was a crap ball which deserved to be glanced for four. He was just really unlucky.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Hussey looking positive and organised thus far. At least showing some intent.

 

[Spark]

Nah it wasn't a smart shot. The right shot to play, but falling over.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Haha worst call. Broad is going to have a far better summer than the other two.

Looked like more of a statement about his personality than his ability. Difficult to disagree with.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha it was hardly a stupid shot. It was a soft dismissal but it was the right shot to the ball.

What else did you expect him to do? Leave it? He's always going to try and hit those balls, I don't get how it's a stupid shot. Trying to get it off the hip and simply didn't come off. Oh well, move on.

 

[Athlai]

Wanna bet? He'll be the worst of the three.

Yeah avatar on cricsim. I've lost this one for a while.

Broad to take most wickets of the three.

 

[irottev]

Haha worst call. Broad is going to have a far better summer than the other two.

Wanna bet? He'll be the worst of the three

 

[BoyBrumby]

Anderson starting to look tired.

Well down on pace in that over, yeah.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Having missed the opening session one thing that surprised me when i woke up was the lack of runs scored.Did we bowl well or was it poor batting by the Aussies?
