*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Ruckus]

looks like he was trying to pull a Haddin, bad luck Huss, WAG

 

[M0rphin3]

Time for Swanneh to chip in with a few wickets, tbh.

 

[TT Boy]

England a shoe-in to bat tonight now.

 

[Neil Pickup]

How the **** was that not out?

 

[Pizzorno]

Haha loving the barmy army chiming in with God Save Your Queen now. Just remember it lads.

 

[Xuhaib]

Great knock Huss, Finn gets another Freebie.

Has to be hitting the stumps generally speaking

Tailenders need to retain their focus and try to get 50-odd here. A lead of less than 250 after that partnership would be a bit of a shame from Australia's point of view.

 

[Pizzorno]

It'll be absolutely criminal if Finn gets a 5fer here and Anderson finishes with nothing for the day.

I suppose so but compared to 5 for minus a hundred, it looks pretty awesome.

That would be a shame.

Which one was it missing? Either my eyesight is totally shot or my brain is in sleep-deprived neutral, or that was leg/middle-and-leg about 3/4 up. A replay would be rather useful around about now.

Over the top by about half a foot and very legside-ish as well.

Think you won this game when you got to lunch without losing a wicket. 200s plenty

True. But you have to get greedy when two guys have put you in such a position. I was disgusted when India lost their last 5 for around 15 in the recent Bangalore Test. Didn't cost us eventually, but that was poor cricket after all the hard work had been done.

 

[Zinzan]

Not often you see Johnson still on zero after 15 balls

I'm not Australian...

not that you'd know it from some of my posts in this thread...

Listening to Test Match Sofa now. Wow, what a load of ****. A woman who seems on Prozac, a tosser who is channelling Aggers and some dick Aussie, who probably works in a bar. Do they talk about cricket?

Hum. Still waiting for a replay. My judgement's usually pretty good unless I'm actually batting trying to bat at the time...
