*Official* First Test at The Gabba

[GIMH]

Really noticeable how many 2s are turned to 1 when Watson is batting

 

[Jono]

I think Chappelli just said Benchy's a flog

 

[Spark]

That was a heroically bad shot

 

[stephen]

That was probably the worst shot I've seen. Such a terrible delivery and Rogers must be in need of a therapist after that shot.

 

[Jono]

great shot for no run. rough.

 

[Cabinet96]

That was probably the worst shot I've seen. Such a terrible delivery and Rogers must be in need of a therapist after that shot.

Rogers himself played a worse shot last series.

 

[Maximas]

ftr Ian Chappell cannot believe it was so badly mistimed - just in case you didn't hear or something

 

[Jono]

Where was this bowling from Eng yesterday in the last session?

 

[centurymaker]

That was Rogers last ever test innings.

 

[GIMH]

Where was this bowling from Eng yesterday in the last session?

Was just thinking the same. If we get close to a target then it will be held to scrutiny. This is much better.

Has there been an lbw in the match yet?

 

[GIMH]

That was Rogers last ever test innings.

Nah I doubt that

 

[Jono]

Should have reviewed boys

 

[stephen]

That should have been out. But impossible for the umpire to call it and equally as difficult to review it.

 

[Cabinet96]

Amazed at how little they appealed for that.

 

[morgieb]

Has Broad taken a wicket with a good ball yet?

Johnson in the first innings was arguably the best ball of the match.

Very slow start thus far.

 

[NUFAN]

Kallis gets punished at times for batting in a bubble, well that's exactly what Watson has done this match.

The difference is that Kallis is actually good.

 

[GIMH]

Kallis gets punished at times for batting in a bubble, well that's exactly what Watson has done this match.

Do you think it's his fitness issues?

 

[NUFAN]

That was Rogers last ever test innings.

I doubt it but there are two players who could come in and it would be one of the best Tests for them to come in.

1. Phil Hughes at his newish home ground and is coming off a 200.
2. Marcus North, the form domestic batsman. His off spin at Adelaide could be handy too.

 

[Spark]

Wouldn't say that's Watson's biggest problem
