*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[Viscount Tom]

Episode finishes and I come back to two new batsmen. What the hell happened?

Broad happened.

 

[Furball]

Anderson really is the unlickiest bowler. Should be well past 400 scalps by now.

 

[wiff]

I'll be surprised if 185 is reached, oz all out today.

 

[NUFAN]

So, just a brief statistical comparision as we ease into the second session:

Batting averages of Aussie top 7 from today's vs England: 36, 35, 36, 52, 34, n/a, and 33. Batting averages of Bangladesh top 7 from last test vs New Zealand: 38, 10, 26, 83, 37, 32, 45.

Australian mean batting average (best 6): 37
Bangladesh mean batting average (best 6): 43.5

That is all. Enjoy the cricket, fellas.

While I like Bangladesh and feel their batting lineup is coming together nicely, Bangladesh play so many more matches against the lower ranked nations than Australia does that you can't realistically take those figures as fact.

 

[Burgey]

What was Border's excuse then?

What? Border batted four most of his career

Don't be ****ing sullying AB, ****

They also have a bloke averaging 83 after two matches to completely skew the stats.

Who averages 83?

 

[Daemon]

Glorious. Time to start pitching it short again Broad.

 

[Daemon]

Who averages 83?

maximul haque

 

[NUFAN]

This partnership really is a win for the good guys of Australian Cricket. The People's Champ and Gorgeous George.

In addition the guy who brings there mean up has played a handful of games.

 

[NUFAN]

Yes, that too.

 

[stephen]

Australia seem to have forgotten that you don't play the man, you play the bloody ball. Watch the ball, move into position and leave, block or smash that sucker. Today's dismissals have been awful.

5 matches

Don't be ****ing sullying AB, ****

88 innings at 4, 70 at 5 and 63 at 6.

I'm not sullying him in anyway, Border batted down the order in a crap team, the idea that Clarke has to bat 4 is stupid.

 

[Jono]

can someone post a screenshot of the courier mail cover pls

The idea that he got out to that ball because he batted 4 and not 5 is also stupid though.

 

[Burgey]

No he ****ing didn't. He batted four through the worst of times, he batted five when GC owned four then dropped down again once Mark Waugh developed
