*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I'm starting to think the selection of Beer was a cheeky ruse. Pick a guy the oppo haven't ever heard of with no intention of playing them. Then the oppo waste a load of time doing research on a player that they wouldn't have ever seen play before. What a masterstroke from the Australian selectors. Hilditch is a hero.

Disappointed that Beer is not playing, now we rely on Smith for the spin bowling duties. So we should probably start a "Road to the 2013 Ashes" thread then?

I didn't think it was possible, but you make me want an Australian play to succeed far more with every post.

blaady hell i didn't expect that

actually i just saw the pitch and that is green! Put the ball in the right place and wickets are really there for the taking.

 

[Burgey]

We have a Beer waiter then.

The theory that the M. Beer written down on the selection sheet actually meant "More Beer" doesn't seem so out there anymore.

 

[Checkmate]

Come on Australia!!!

Hmmmm. Really not sure how to feel. I didn't really want Beer to play but I don't want to go in without a specialist spinner. This is why you should pick a bloke that you know can bowl decently.

c'mon boys.

Tremlett down to bat below Anderson. Thought he was supposed to be a decent #9. Bloody southerners keep lying to me

Mark Taylor agrees with me

Although he seems to be confused with who won the toss... (aggressive move by Ponting comment)

 

[hazsa19]

i've gotta say if I ever make it down under for a dream Ashes trip i think i would go to Adelaide and Perth. Two beautiful cricket grounds.

 

[Howe_zat]

Wahey, 100 pages before the match starts. Just needed the toss to get us over the line. Well done, boys and girls.

 

[ripper868]

So, Beer put on ice already then.

Apologies.

 

[Howsie]

Heh, Mark Nicholas. Classic.

sorry

Adelaide is Yass with poofters though. No, really.

Some haven't taken the news well, however.
