*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Woodster]

A rash of fannies?

A block of flaps?

 

[Pizzorno]

Just looked it up, it's actually a hive of clunge.

 

[GIMH]

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

TBF, not many captains would do anything other than bat first in their first match with the armband.

 

[Jacknife]

I'd get a short leg in for Hughes ,he plays it in the air so often there.

 

[MW1304]

****ing hell have they greased up the run-up? Sabotaging Jimmy.

Fun to see Twatto fall over though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Batsmen doing well to still be there, IMHO. Quality stuff from Jimmeh & Tremmers.

 

[GIMH]

This is really compelling stuff. Batsmen can't get much away but keeping the ball out.

 

[Uppercut]

Only in that they're managing not to connect with their constant *****-footed little jabs outside off stump.

 

[GIMH]

oooooooh so close

 

[Jacknife]

Bloody hell how close was that to Cook.

 

[JBH001]

Man, the near chances Watson has had this morning, he must be due for that elusive hundred.

 

[Pizzorno]

Gah, watching twatto bat is one of the most infuriating things in life.

Agree with both these, excellent contest here, Tremlett bowled exceptionally right from the off while Jimmy's improved as he's gone along and it is difficult for Watson and Hughes out there, they're not getting too much to capitalise on.

Credit to the two batsmen, they're hanging in there and biding their time.

Now for some Bresnan, hopefully can carry on from where he left off at Melbourne.

 

[zaremba]

Bit of swing for Bresnan, of which there had been none for Jimmy. Plenty in the pitch though and we need to exploit it with the new ball

 

[Jacknife]

Yes, I've never seen Bresnan so smooth up to the crease, non of this one day jumping wide stuff, for that matter same can be said for Jimmy.

 

[Ruckus]

Khawaja looked absolutely petrified up there...

 

[morgieb]

Can't believe a wicket hasn't been taken yet. The day's quite cloudy (at least from where I am), and Anderson and Tremlett are bowling good.

 

[GIMH]

You going the game any day morgieb?

 

[TumTum]

Can't believe Hughes has lasted this long to be perfectly honest

 

[slippy888]

How many runs you reckon Australia will score 1st innings.
