*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[steds]

Nothing to relieve the pressure and get a batsman set like a dose of MJ

Tell that to Trott

Carberry having low hands (he gets them a little higher when the balls about to be delivered but they're still low) means he will probably have a bit of trouble playing the drive along the ground, need to draw him into it first though. Will definitely get him out on the drive throughout this series.

Batting first hardly an advantage in this era.

I swear Carberry is getting some kind of edge every over.

 

[Spikey]

Clarke's wicket

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Bowling Mitchy!!!!

 

[morgieb]

Wowee!

 

[Spark]

Good stuff, but alarming how Carberry got so stuck there.

 

[centurymaker]

Good bowling.

 

[benchmark00]

Straight into classic catches.

Now that's a plan that worked n00fers.

 

[adub]

Yeah, gotta give the **** that. Good plan well executed

 

[Son Of Coco]

Carberry worked pretty hard there to see our plan come off. Well done!

 

[NUFAN]

These past 3 deliveries have been superb from Mitch, fully deserved that wicket.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Clarke's wicket

Definitely, but Johnson did the job too. Can't take everything away from him

 

[Pothas]

That worked horribly well.

 

[Spikey]

Definitely, but Johnson did the job too. Can't take everything away from him

he can keep his batting

 

[morgieb]

These past 3 deliveries have been superb from Mitch, fully deserved that wicket.

He's been very good this spell IMO.

 

[Jono]

How good was that set up?! What makes test cricket great.

 

[benchmark00]

I don't ever recall anyone doubting Johnson's ability to bowl short ftr.

 

[morgieb]

**** that was tight.
