Good plan by Australia to play Cook into the England test team.

 

[Riggins]

Got to ask. Who the **** is Dermo Abbott?

Hugh Abbott. Plays for NSW.

 

[Burgey]

Got to ask. Who the **** is Dermo Abbott?

Sean Abbott, NSW all rounder who Dermo despises.







Like the cut of Carberry's jib actually. Prepared to work real hard for his runs. Looks a player.

 

[91Jmay]

If we can get to 320 by close then that would be a really solid effort. Requires 4.5RPO from now so slightly unlikely,but I'd like to see us push on.

 

[Spikey]

paine drops a catch, hussey proceeds to say there wasn't an edge and goes onto praise the fielding performance today: "they've put their bodies on the line"

 

[Daemon]

Lol at Maxwell bowling twice as many as the frontline spinner. Henriques is being a bit harsh on his own bowling as well, he's gotta pick up wickets if he wants to get ahead of Faulkner.

 

[steds]

I'm impressed that Holland keeps tossing it up.

 

[social]

Oz selectors have got what they wanted - batting practice for England

Same result next week with NSW Invitational X1 being stacked with batsmen and no bowlers

 

[Spark]

Just heard Hussey practise that off mic and then deliver it. Solid point though to be fair.

I didn't hear this but this is such a Mike Hussey thing to do

 

[Spikey]

hussey goes ahead and tries to defend Bailey's performances in the shield last year

 

[91Jmay]

I appear to be the only one who likes Huss

320 out the window, but 0 down at the end of the day would be cool.

Again, I haven't heard him, but I suspect he'll be a bit like Strauss - with some useful stuff but clearly very very new to the whole commentary thing

 

[91Jmay]

Healy saying very tight then made me involuntarily shudder.

Yeah, he is very positive at the moment is Huss.

 

[Spark]

Right so I just watched one ball. Given that it was a floaty 130kmh half-volley a foot outside leg stump, I think I can see why the scorecard is the way it is based on that.

 

[Burgey]

Healy advocating bowling on leg stump with the new ball, with the score at 0/290. Perhaps that's why Ian never quite captained Australia.

 

[Burgey]

Meanwhile, Lyon gets in on the act at the MCG to leave the Vics seven down. Rogers still going strong.

 

[Burgey]

Think the Gosford Martin Shield Second XI attack playing in lieu of Australia A did a really good job today :-/
