*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[JontyPanesar]

Whaaaaa?

It's not dried out as much as everyone anticipated. Lyon's getting some grip, the ball is really bouncing when banged in, more than what one might expect on a dry Gabba pitch. By a good bit of moisture I don't mean damp or anything crazy

glad you corrected this, didn't thejedibrah get banned for something similar?

Autocorrect killing me.

Pathetic batting from both sides it must be said, even combining their totals you're still about 170 runs short of a par score.

You realize that this is a huge ground and that too with a slow outfield. So no way any team would've got 500+ on this fast pitch against decent bowlers.

Just get the feeling that Aus may lose a few wickets here given the cloud cover.

Wow, that is creamed.

Beautiful, bowl it there again

Warner is seriously seeing the ball so big at the moment.

How much of a lead did Aus have last time at the Gabba (which England managed to overcome with ease.)

Roughly 200 on the first innings. Different here, a very different pitch.

Mark Taylor is underrated when he talks about the art of batsmanship I reckon. Made a career of putting together an innings better than anyone else I reckon I've seen. Wasn't a big hitter but made the bowlers bowl on his hip which he cashed in on every day.

Wish Healy would shut up and let him talk about it though.

 

[dermo]

hahaha KP gotta love that
