*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[Son Of Coco]

Thought it was a decent ball from Tremlett, but poorly played by Hughes. Tony Grieg currently making out it was an 'absolutely magnificent' ball.

If Chris Tremlett's work today is half as good as his efforts at the Barkly on Sunday night, we're in some strife.

 

[BoyBrumby]

The selectors have too back the boy, surely? If he was the right bloke a week ago (when out of touch, selectors) he's the right bloke now. Horrid, awful, annoying, etc technique tho.

Meanwhile Khawaja has just smacked a creamy ton for NSW in a one dayer v SA.

 

[Burgey]

No 4th slip and an edge. Bit poor from Strauss there.

Nice shot. Do love the carry and bounce in Perth.

 

[Bun]

Hughes

 

[Spark]

First shot in front of the wicket.

Granted I wasn't able to watch his debut series in South Africa last year but Phillip Hughes really doesn't look like a test match opening batsmen, not at this stage of his career anyway.

You have to take Hughes for what he is. He'll never look like a test match opener. He just finds ways to make mountains of runs. Like all batsmen, he'll go through periods where opposition sides will 'work him out', but the challenge is to work on his weaknesses, but definitely not ignore his unique strengths.

There's your chance England. Ponting up for a ton now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dreamy pull from Ponting. Looks the shot of a bloke in touch.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Yes Tremlett, more there please.

Kevin Spacey positively apoplectic at gully after that edge went through.

He had one fluke test match. That is it.

Taylor "good pace and bounce"
Speed = 133.9km/h

 

[Furball]

Didn't quite get all of that, but still a majestic looking shot.

 

[Spark]

Bloody hell!

Wow he almost got that.

 

[Howe_zat]

Average watch: Hughes down from 51 to 47.

 

[benchmark00]

Tremlett getting a gooch load of bounce. Expected when you're 40 feet tall and bowling on the WACA.

Strauss got higher than Snoop Dogg there.

 

[Furball]

Ah ****.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Feck. Great effort from Strauss. If he was a coupla inches taller.

 

[benchmark00]

He had one fluke test match. That is it.

And why has he scored so much in first class cricket? Luck also?

 

[Furball]

Keep Ponting on strike, want Tremlett bowling at Watson.
