*Official* First Test at The Gabba

Might see some $ out of his banana budget.

With that and the Panama disease infecting Cavendish bananas, Siddy might need to track down an alternative fruit.

 

[Spark]

I think Siddle was a bit over the top. Match is won, just celebrate with your team mates.

Yeah agree. Only part of that bit that made me uncomfortable.

Very proud of Clarke and the rest of the team! That was a fantastic win. The plans were all executed beautifully and the bowlers were very disciplined for the most part.

Love seeing Anderson cop it. Strikes me as a guy who can dish it out but can't take it overly well.

The match is over, but the series isn't....we're just getting started. I don't want opponents to be friendly with each other one bit.

 

[Spark]

Australia's 5th biggest Test win in terms of runs ever.

11 slices of humble pie await you in the change-rooms England

This is a now-regular reminder that this is a forum to talk about cricket, not wave flags regardless of how much you may support a team

Anderson stole a banana

 

[Hooksey]

Looking forward to Adelaide. But even more so Perth!

 

[ajdude]

didn't quite turn out to be 600+ par did it, in fact it seems like half that. over two innings

 

[NUFAN]

Awesome Test from, from me. 8/8 questions correct in the LMS.

But yeah seriously I don't think any Aussie fans could have wished for a better first Test. Absolutely brilliant.

Looking forward to Adelaide. But even more so Perth!

I reckon there might be a few guys in the English top order not looking forward to Perth.

 

[Hooksey]

Will be remembered as Johnson's Test. But he must be salivating at the thought of bowling to Trott in Perth.

 

[ajdude]

that kid screaming in the background can gagf

 

[Kirkut]

So good to see england getting thrashed like this!!! Australia please torture them with bouncy wickets throughout the series,england medium pacers are anyways a joke.

 

[ajdude]

I reckon there's a piano hidden behind Mark Nicholas here

 

[Spikey]

Leave Jonathan Trott alone

 

[Spark]

That's what happens when you have bounce

 

[Hooksey]

Boof could not possibly have hoped for a better result. A mother of a hiding and England's collective confidence clearly in tatters.

1-0 and ready to build on it!

 

[Spikey]

sure hope we can put in a 2nd test performance that isn't embarrassing

A golden effort by Howard. Tickets to the first four days. Match ends right at the end of day four.
