*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[zaremba]

Why do we always have to bat on such pitches

There are plenty of runs in this pitch. Bit of lateral movement off the pitch atm, that's all, it will be beautiful to bat on after lunch.

 

[Jacknife]

Deserves a wicket Tremlett.

 

[GIMH]

Tremlett so good.

 

[Pizzorno]

Is that the right collective noun? I'd have said pack of fannies. A set makes me think of like, a chemistry set.

School of fannies tbf

 

[Woodster]

Jimmy found much better areas in that last over, while Tremlett has started this over beautifully again. Could do nicking a wicket or two here, beaten the bat a few times but that outside edge just proving elusive at this stage.

 

[TumTum]

We'll be batting on it as well.

I'd go for a bunch of fannies personally.

 

[zaremba]

A rash of fannies?

 

[GIMH]

What the hell is Hughes doing there?

 

[Jacknife]

All over Hughes like a cheap suit.

 

[pasag]

Fantastic Test cricket. Our XI is a joke though.

 

[JBH001]

Don't understand what these umpires, especially Bowden, are on about. Tremlett and Anderson don't seem to be landing any differently from the previous test matches.

 

[GIMH]

After it flattens out

Guess what, you won the toss.

 

[zaremba]

A block of flaps?

 

[Pizzorno]

If Hughes survives another 30 minutes or so he's nailed-on for a 100 I reckon.

 

[Uppercut]

Gaggle of fannies, the lot of them.

 

[Howsie]

There is a lot of Tim McIntosh in Phillp Hughes when he's trying to work balls away to the onside, it just doesn't look natural at all.

 

[superkingdave]

A fistfull of fannies?

 

[Pizzorno]

After it flattens out

Tell your captain to bowl first on it then.

 

[TumTum]

Guess what, you won the toss.

Yeah was a bit surprised Clarke decided to bat, especially after last year.
