*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[Dan]

Smitteh

 

[Pothas]

Yes!

 

[Daemon]

Smash Tremlett and Swann. The more Cook has to bowl Anderson and Broad before a possible new ball, the better.

new ball

 

[91Jmay]

good call

Too late champ

 

[Viscount Tom]

The BFG gets TPC

 

[The Battlers Prince]

oh good ****
At least we have Johnson. But honestly at the moment I am at least happy we have him cos he could add something to the batting. God we need runs.

 

[hendrix]

new ball

yeah i'll cop that.

The plan was right though.

Smitteh was leaving that ball every time before he got confused.

 

[ajdude]

Clarke played that ball very upright. Back stopping him from swaying maybe. Looks awkward.

well let's just hope warner and smith can put on a big partnership

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Arguably the most improved cricketer going around over the past 18 months.

Yeah that was quality

 

[Black_Warrior]

I think people are being too harsh on Bailey..give the bloke a few more games...and its not like the others who were playing before him, the likes of Hughes, Cowan, Khwaja were scoring a truckload of runs either.
Obviously his form in India played a part but also the fact that there aren't a lot of options for the selectors at the moment.

 

[Dan]

Should have picked Forkers and Agar for lower-order runs.

 

[Riggins]

backin mitch to be 105 at stumps bois.

 

[stephen]

Can we please at least get 200 on the board? Woeful would be overstating how good our batting is at the moment.

 

[Burgey]

See what ****s me about this is three of these blokes have got starts and got out to balls you wouldn't call brilliant. Tbf to smith that bounced a fair bit, but Warner and Watson both looked set. Anyone can get out early but it really ****s me when there's an apparent lack of mental application when blokes are set. It's like there's some assumption that you've got to 20 or 30 odd and it must be your day.

Well **** me, it doesn't mean that at all.

I agree need to pick and stick for first three tests and then massive changes

You mean this right?

11 0 105 0

Right?

Hopefully if Australian maintain a good over rate he can get 11 overs by stumps.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah that was quality

Yeah all right mate, one ball proves he should be batting nine for my under 13s side this weekend.

 

[ajdude]

i wonder if we'll be granted the same luxury of a changed ball if things aren't going well

That's an awful lot of people ****ing you
