*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[M0rphin3]

Siddo you beauty.

In order for Australia to win by 10 wickets we'd have to score enough runs to make them bat again. I highly doubt that's gonna happen after a day like today.

On a serious note though, it really is a test of 'new England' now; somehow escape this Test with a draw and i'll actually believe we've turned a corner and we aren't just the same old bottlers we've always been.

Nah it'll be classic England 'playing their natural game' rather than digging in for the long hall.

Worst short ball ever to get a wicket. Finn you lucky ****.

 

[Spark]

5 for Finn and he's been the third best bowler IMO. That's cricket I guess.

 

[M0rphin3]

5 wickets for Finn, the irony.

 

[Ruckus]

Why is Strauss so happy? You're gonna lose man!

 

[social]

It'd be great cause it will mean England will def keep him over the far more dangerous Tremlett.

Was thinking the same thing although I'd pick Shazad for Adelaide

5 for Finn and he's been the third best bowler IMO. That's cricket I guess.

Probably 4th, Broad's been good yesterday.

 

[Pizzorno]

Possibly the only instance in Test cricket were the shot has been even uglier than the batsman.

Awta.

 

[Spark]

I'm rating Broad above Finn there, he was indeed excellent yesterday and pretty good first up this morning as well.

 

[Athlai]

Worst 5fer in a while you have to feel.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I have grave reservations about our ability to get to stumps unscathed. I almost expect at least two victims here.

 

[Pizzorno]

Worst 5fer in a while you have to feel.

I do agree, but to be fair to Finn he has put a good shift in. Someone had to take them eventually.

 

[joels344]

Not bad batting from Doherty.

 

[Spark]

I do agree, but to be fair to Finn he has put a good shift in. Someone had to take them eventually.

He has, and he's not bowled too badly... but compared to Anderson's and Broad's spells this morning and yesterday, you can't say that the spoils have been distributed equitably.

EDIT: My fantasy team is awesome, four ducks.

 

[M0rphin3]

Daym, so jimmeh won't get another wicket

 

[Daemon]

damn, was hoping collingwood got in the wickets column

 

[Top_Cat]

I do agree, but to be fair to Finn he has put a good shift in. Someone had to take them eventually.

Yeah he's been in the contest this spell. Deserves the wickets, not been all arse or anything.

 

[hazsa19]

bit harsh on the lad, hes troubled all the batsmen, how close was he to getting Hussey first ball?
Put in a good shift, well done finny
