***Official*** Australia in England 2012

[Burgey]

Be interesting to see how Gorgeous George goes here. Not sure if he's played much in England before.

 

[DingDong]

watson the dirty cheat

 

[Spark]

jeez watto is in poor form of late

It's just a stupid shot. Not worth the risk for just one run.

 

[Cabinet96]

Who are the other candidates for his spot, now Morgan has moved up?

Buttler and Bairstow.

Bairstow has a decent ODD record doesn't he? Hasn't he played for England already on ODIs?

It's not that great, but it is 40 over cricket. Played a few ODI's and T20I's having some success but not really great overall.

 

[Burgey]

Shot on the up. Not easy against a bloke that tall

 

[Burgey]

Interesting re Butler. If his record's that good but they aren't sure, a one dayer vs either WI or us here in a stand alone series might not be a bad idea

 

[Burgey]

Is Bresnan down on pace this summer? I think Brumby said he was, and today he seems a good 5mph slower than he was out here. Kind of labouring to the crease a bit compared to what I remember of him.

Laaaaaaaadddddyyyyyy Boooooiiiiiiiii

Had injuries - I don't entirely trust the English speedguns this "summer", mind

Why? Just because they measure Finn as as fast or just faster than Cummins????

Classy.

No, my doubts date back to the Tests and Anderson/Broad being clocked in the low 130s and high 120s.

Oh dear.

 

[ajdude]

such a gay use of an emoticon too

as gay as if not gayer than broad's haircut

Spot on. Can't always understand selectors.

 

[Spark]

Ugh, Warner seriously needs to learn to score both sides of the wicket against spin.

 

[Burgey]

No one has really swung the ball much today. Bit surprising given the cloud cover at the start of both digs.

 

[Jayzamann]

Ayo Davo!

Neeeeeeeeeeeearly as good as Morgan's hits.

Love how he leans back on it after the swivel. Almost Ponting-esque, if I may say so

 

[Burgey]

Bailey had **** all strike lately. ****s me that, when I'm batting.

Poor old Ravi having a tough day in the field so far. Nearly been decapitated twice in a day.

Yeah, I remember Broad saying how he was clocked at 95mph in the test at Lords and then at 81-82mph at Trent Bridge. Bresnan cleaning up at Trent Bridge with the speed gun saying the mid 70's was particularly perplexing.

Having said that I still think he's (Bresnan) slightly down on pace. Was out quickest bowler during the Ashes and against India.
