*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[TT Boy]

He needs a brain, more like. Didn't he just have a week and a bit break after Adelaide?

Break from the test side tbh.

 

[GIMH]

ugh

 

[Spark]

Is Finn trying to hit his own feet here?

 

[TumTum]

He's getting a bit carried away now though

 

[benchmark00]

Sounds like a lovely day trip, you in?

You bring the picnic rug, I'll bring the sun tan lotion.

 

[GIMH]

If Broad if fit for the next match, I think Finn might get his break.

Broad's a doubt for the WC, he won't be fit for Melbourne

 

[Spark]

Broad is out for the entire tour.

Pietersen said to Johnson he wanted his phone number so they could be best friends

You bring the picnic rug, I'll bring the sun tan lotion.

Sounds very ***ual.

 

[Debris]

Broad is out for the entire tour.

Dammit, I really gotta keep closer tabs on injury news.

 

[wpdavid]

Break from the test side tbh.

Yes please.

Astonishingly dumb waste of the new ball here.

As said before, England should take solace from this match at the ground two years ago. Mitch ran through the Saffies, we set them a good score and they knocked it off without too much trouble.

IIRC, that was a very different pitch to this one in that it was pretty flat to start with and just got flatter

There is a lot more grass on this deck (ball is still seaming around now) and whilst that will hold it together, I reckon there will be a little bit in it for the bowlers all match

 

[Spark]

There's a lot more in this pitch for sure. You look carefully at Mitch's spell, none of them were due to significant seam or swing, which is very present. Much more bounce too.

 

[andyc]

****. Wicket.

 

[Spark]

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

ghey

 

[Spark]

Would say the dismissals of Pietersen and to a lesser extent Trott were a result of significant swing. Pietersen's came in a fair bit.

I should have said - his spell in 08. Today he was getting prodigous swing.

Good bowling as Hughes has been out that way quite a few times
