*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[Spikey]

You would think MJ would attempt a full ball to Trott but no, every ball is short, most were filth.

But one worked

 

[Maximas]

Get Lyon on

 

[zaremba]

Agreed, but we're talking about Cook here. This is what he does. To act like his weakness is totally irrelevant to him getting out as he did is naive. Yes, very good bowling, great execution. There's a pretty sizeable zone in which you can bowl and cause problems for Cook. Very similar to how he consistently got out in 06/07. But yes, extra bounce makes it all the more difficult to figure out when to come fully forward.

It's amazing how badly Oz bowled to him in 10/11. They seemed to be wedded to a theory that he was vulnerable to the ball pitched short and wide of off stump, and the leg stump half volley.

 

[Maximas]

lol, that was a tense change-over

 

[NUFAN]

This is one situation which I don't mind Johnson in the team. Bowling the last over before a session.

 

[centurymaker]

Johnson is not a Test standard bowler.

edit
LOL

Yessssss NUstradamus!!

 

[benchmark00]

Captain benchmark00

 

[steds]

Should bring Johnson back to give Trott a going over

I should captain Australia...

 

[Spark]

That's a pretty alarming technical flaw there. You can't go that far across, surely...

 

[Pothas]

Oh god that is just so dire.

 

[Jarquis]

Definite noise but why the **** would you allow them to get another in before lunch? Jesus. That's basic

 

[hendrix]

hahahahahahahahaha

 

[Pothas]

Where was the Broad boot act Trott?
