*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[Tom Halsey]

That was a pretty unimpressive innings.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah that was coming.

 

[Furball]

Oh Jimmeh I love you.

 

[morgieb]

has Tremlett been ****e all day?

Was keeping it tight for a while.

But yeah he hasn't been good.

 

[Dan]

Well..

 

[91Jmay]

has Tremlett been ****e all day?

He kept it tight first spell, tied Watson up but no threat at all.

Bailey looked terrible there. Like a tailender.

 

[NUFAN]

That shot was 4 runs in ODI Cricket. Disappointing

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Bailey Really wanted him to do well.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Bailey's first attempt at doing an impression of a Test cricketer ends poorly, helping to detract from Tremlett's pale imitation of himself currently trundling in and bowling long hops from the other end.

 

[Spikey]

marcus north would have left that alone

 

[wiff]

Only 85 more to get, but only 5 wickets left. This is the batting that were have come to expect.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Haha. No technique pal. Stick to the shorter game.

How long till Haddin gives the slips more catching practice.

 

[Riggins]

Man, how good was Bailey's ODI series in India though guys. Inspirational.

 

[ajdude]

alex doolan would've crisply driven that for four

 

[Top_Cat]

Seriously, Bailey nicking out to slip in long form is just ridiculously probable. There's a reason why he averages < 40 over a long period. Worst part is he's vulnerable to it at all point of his innings, hence a fairly awful conversion rate. Should never have been in the running for a Test spot, tbh.

 

[91Jmay]

marcus north would have left that alone

That would have been strange, leaving a ball on his pads alone.

 

[Dan]

Yeah, I get the feeling Haddin will go for 'intent' and play a dumb shot at some point.

That graphic of the deviation just shows how wide a ball that was to be playing at.

 

[Nate]

But but but he's been so good in in ODIs

 

[steds]

marcus north would have left that alone

Not everyone can be Marcus North though, Spikey. Unfair as that is.

 

[Daemon]

That would have been strange, leaving a ball on his pads alone.

That was nowhere near his pads
