*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[social]

Reckon one of the big differences between India and most other sides is that they'd attempt to smash Colly out of the attack straight away and force the opposition to go back to tired bowlers

Right, new hour means England's danger man is on. Here's Paul 'Curtley' Collingwood.

Reckon one of the big differences between India and the other sides is that actually they have a lot of batsmen capable of doing that.

This didn't happen against us, even when we had only 3 bowlers in the first Test they didn't go after the part timers.

And they're 2/200 rather than 5/217, so they can afford to.

Big hour coming up,new ball and Atherton says it is a bit gloomy so that may help the ball move a bit.If Australia get to the close 5 down they are in control but a few wickets and it is all up in the air again.

Sometimes but mainly it's a different mindset

Lights on now.

It's dark but not that dark.

Oz shouldnt feel that they have any degree of control until they lead by 100

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

****ing hell.

 

[Ausage]

Lame.

 

[Ruckus]

I love seeing Strauss angry, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 

[joels344]

Ridiculous!

 

[pasag]

If Ponting protested like Strauss had just done he'd get crucified on here. He's totally correct though.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Interesting revelations. Obvious that the artificial light is the main one at the moment, you can see more than one shadow on every fielder.

 

[Speersy]

What so they didn't get offered the light?
The umpires just took it for them?

 

[GIMH]

farce

Ponting would have done it with a slightly different manner.

Yeah, they changed the rules at one of the ICC meetings not long back.
