Good match for Hughes so far.

Ah, that's annoying, would've liked Khawaja to push through to triple figures there.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Absolutely worst post ever.

62/0 off 14 now...........what say you about that muppet??

And big LOL paying out on Compton, have you even got an opening batsmen?????

The thing I like about you is your thick skin!

 

[Son Of Coco]

Compton is still better than your whole top order put together. Laugh all you want, a thrashing awaits you.

Better than Michael Clarke? Hmmm, food for thought there.

would you consider our number 5 batsman a top order player? based on the situations he comes into you probably could...

 

[Burgey]

Prince bowled for 50. Three down with 57 to get. Haddin in ahead of Watson and Faulkner.

 

[Spark]

that's an irritant

 

[Maximas]

a few wickets falling to spin now - even MC. At least everyone has got starts and is spending some time in the middle, but a century to either Hughes or Khawaja would've made me feel much better about the first test.

Whoever just called into the radio broadcast with that suggested team should shut up about cricket for the next three months, good god.

 

[Burgey]

Rad Had finishing this fast.

Fair point!

I wouldn't be so hard on your team. I'm sure they're doing their best.

 

[Spark]

About as good a warm-up as we could have hoped for.

 

[Burgey]

Haddington Bear ends the match (and brings up his 50) with a bomb.

Good hit out for our blokes. Most of the batsmen got a good hit and the bowlers all had a decent work out. Siddle perhaps the only worry - Jim Maxwell was saying on the radio he has looked down on pace. Bloke needs a steak.

Daniel Brettig ‏@danbrettig 13m
Haddin finishes the match with his second six, reaching a punchy 50 in the process. Looks good to bat in the top six if needed... #cricket

goddamnit Brettig. dont let your Folkers Faulkner love cloud your judgement

 

[Furball]

Cowan out for 45. One for 96 in the chase.

You can't take 96 wickets in an innings, don't be silly.

This is Australia - it's possible...

But seriously, that was a good performance by Aus, get the combinations right, play them in familiar conditions and the Aussie boys aren't so bad after all!
