*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Debris]

Quality seam and swing bowling by Anderson. Every delivery is a potential wicket taking ball.

Fixed.

 

[GIMH]

Well....if we ever get this breakthrough wicket surely we will be able to get the **** and the rest of the tail out quite quickly...

 

[Top_Cat]

Doesn't matter,not got the wickets have they.

Fair but you just reckon the better bowling unit will win over the course of a series. They won't have bad luck every day and, as Nath said, they've just looked much better overall.

 

[Prince EWS]

no way, the tactical element is the worst thing about it. Should be worried about getting the as many decisions on field correct as is possible, not trying to add anything to the game.

Edit: However, the udrs is still better than anything yet experimented with and should definitely be used in as many matches as possible.

awta

 

[Ruckus]

Haddin will unleash soon. I think Haddin has looked incredibly solid given the hostile bowling. He is in very good form.

This is Haddin in very good form? How awful does he look when he's in bad nick?

 

[GIMH]

Will be applying Richard's FCA and not recognising a century by Hussey should he score one FTR

 

[hazsa19]

we could be batting by now! Need to keep this bowling up

 

[pasag]

Amazing stuff from Jimmy. Pretty annoyed play started 30 minutes early and no one told me personally. James Sutherland should have my number ffs.

Yeah but I don't think they won't bowl this well for the duration of the Ashes. The Gabba would probably be the best chance for their quicks, but they aren't reaping the rewards yet.

 

[Athlai]

Dear Hussey and Haddin,

Don't just wait for them to get you out you ****wits. Because eventually if you let them settle in and keep bowling these pearlers they'll get one.

Score a run you bastards.

Athlai.

He looks a better bat then most of those above him in the batting order currently. The McCullum of Australian cricket.

 

[Ruckus]

Why are you conflating excellent bowling with bad form of a batsmen? The mere fact he has stayed out there so long without really any genuine chances, shows he is in good nick...

What happened?

You're a ******

 

[MW1304]

No, i agree, i think Haddin's been solid on the defense and played some lovely shots. The quality of the bowling has made him look poor.

 

[Debris]

Dear Hussey and Haddin,

Don't just wait for them to get you out you ****wits. Because eventually if you let them settle in and keep bowling these pearlers they'll get one.

Score a run you bastards.

Athlai.

It's the first hour. They are just knocking the shine off before getting stuck in.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

If there is any justice Hussey will be run out 99 backing up.

 

[GIMH]

What happened?

Plumb lbw, not given. If he had any decency he'd have walked.

 

[Gilly Fan]

If he was in bad form he would've had a brain explosion and holed out within 10 balls of coming in. Good form may not be the right word, but his innings has been superbly controlled and he's deserves the credit for being able to stick around with Hussey. If he's still around when we get past your total, then we may see him come out of his shell.
